Connecting to the media server remotely over the network

You can access the media server from any computer connected through the LAN. However, make sure the LAN security settings allow remote access.

To access the media server, open a Web browser or a terminal emulation application. In the address field, type in the IP address or DNS host name assigned to the media server you want to access.

You can also use the active (alias) media server address to connect automatically to the media server that is active.

Connecting to the media server remotely over a modem

This section covers the following tasks:

•Setting up a dial-up connection on page 84

•Dialing up to the media server on page 85

•Finding the active media server IP address on page 85

•Accessing the Maintenance Web Interface on page 85

•Using the command line interface on page 86

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.

You can access the media server through an analog modem. The remote connection requires a data speed of at least 33.5 kilobits per second.

Setting up a dial-up connection

To use a computer modem, you first must set it up through your dial-up connection.

1Launch the dial-up connection program, which varies depending on your operating system. Generally, you can access them through My Computer or Control Panel folders. See your computer’s help system for specific information.

2Double-click Make New Connection to open the New Connection wizard.

3Within 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.
