Connecting to the media server remotely over the network

Connecting to the media server remotely over the network

You can use any computer to connect to the media server through a LAN. The security settings on the LAN must allow remote access.

1.Open a Web browser or a terminal emulation application.

2.In the address field, enter the IP address or the DNS host name that is assigned to the media server that you want to access.

Connecting to the 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 modem line to report alarms, the server 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 minimum data speed of 33.5 kilobits per second.

On the S8500 Media Server, access the media server through the remote maintenance board (SAMP) that is installed in the media server. For how to access the SAMP, see Using the Avaya Server Availability Management Processor (SAMP) (03-300322).

1.Launch the dial-up connection program, which varies depending on your operating system. Generally, you can access the program through the My Computer or the Control Panel folders. For more information, see the Help system of your computer.

2.To open the New Connection wizard, double-click Make New Connection.

3.Within the wizard, 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.

Enter the appropriate telephone number to access the active server. For the customer-supplied telephone numbers, see the completed Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet.

Under Advanced, select PPP and log on manually. You might have to type a user name and password, depending on whether or not the media server that you are dialing into has a non-null CHAP secret key. If you need a user name and a password, use craft for the user name and ignore the password field.

4.Click the connection name or icon, if created. Wait for connection.
