Configure the Media Servers
Once the hardware is installed you must configure the two servers, install the license and Avaya
authentication files, and test the connectivity to the customer’s LAN. You configure the first
server, verify its operation, then configure the second server and verify its operation.
Connect the services laptop computer to the services port (default is port 2 [Eth1]) on the back
of the servers using the black crossover cable.
