Accessing the Avaya S8700 Media Server
Remotely over a Modem
NOTE:
Remote access over a modem is for Avaya services support access only and not for routine
administration. Because the media server uses the same line to report alarms, it cannot
report new alarms while the line is in use.
Setting up a dial-up connection
To use a computer modem, you must first set it up through your dial-up connection.
1 Launch the dial-up connection program, which varies depending on your operating
system. You can access them generally through My Computer or Control Panel folders.
Refer to your computer’s help system for specific information.
2 Double-click Make New Connection to open the New Connection wizard.
3 Within the wizard, and depending on your operating system, you may be asked to
• Assign a name to the connection.
• Select dial-up to the network for the network connection type
• Select the modem you will be using for the dial-up connection.
• Type in the appropriate telephone number to access the active server. Refer to the
filled-out job aid entitled Pre-Installation Network Planning Forms—S8700
Media Server for the customer-supplied telephone number(s).
• Under Advanced, select PPP and log on manually. You may have to type in a user
name and password, depending on whether or not the media server you are dialing
into has a non-null CHAP secret key. Use craft (ignore the password field)
You need to configure your computer to access the S8700 Media Servers. Refer to the job aid
entitled Pre-Installation Information—S8700 Media Server
