Chapter 7: Install an S8500 Media Server as an LSP

Note:

If you are installing the S8500 Media Server as a primary controller, skip this section.

Starting with Release 3.1 of Communication Manager, the Processor Ethernet (PE) interface is supported on the S8500 Media Server. The PE interface enables the S8500 Media Server to operate in Local Survivable Processor (LSP) mode. The PE interface also enables the media server to be the primary controller in an IP configuration with no port networks.

For how to administer PE, see Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager (03-300509).

To install a new S8500 Media Server as an LSP, first complete the tasks in Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya S8500 Media Server. Then complete the tasks in the previous sections of this document to:

●Install the S8500 Media Server hardware in the 19-inch rack

●Connect the cables between the media server and the network of the customer

●Connect the SAMP card and the modem

●Configure SNMP and the Ethernet switch

●Install Communication Manager

●Configure the S8500 Media Server

When you have completed these tasks, proceed with tasks in this section.

Configuring the media server as an LSP

Note:

Do not install the license file and the authentication file until after you administer the primary controller. For more information, see Administering the primary controller on page 65.

Note:

Remove the network interface card (NIC) from the S8500 Media Server if a NIC is present. As an LSP, the S8500 Media Server does not use a NIC.
