Avaya™ S8700 Media Server
In a typical configuration you connect to the network through a port on the back of the Avaya™
S8700 Media Server, using a standard CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors on each end. Typically
for an IP Connect configuration, you connect through port 1 (Eth0). (See ‘‘CAT5 cable
connected to a port on the back of the Avaya™ S8700 Media Server’’ on page 112). For a
Multi-Connect configuration, you connect through one of the available 4 ports on the network
interface card (NIC), typically the one corresponding to Eth4.
The other end of the cable connects to an Ethernet switch (router), hub, or token ring.
