Chapter 1: Introduction

To configure the media server, use the Avaya Installation Wizard. To configure gateways and other hardware components, use two administration interfaces:

●Maintenance Web Interface

●Command line interface, directly through, secure shell (SSH), telnet, or a terminal emulation program such as Avaya Native Configuration Manager.

You are not required to install the media server before the port networks (media gateways); however, the license file allows only 30 minutes to "see" the administered and connected IP Interface (SIPI) circuit packs.

The following information is included in this installation procedure:

●Pre-installation: before going on site on page 9

●Configuration of the SNMP modules in the UPS on page 25

●Media server configuration on page 35

●IP interface translations on page 43

●IP interface configuration on page 49

●Post-installation administration on page 57

●Installation verification on page 63

●Media server access on page 73

●Installation troubleshooting on page 83

Audience

This documentation is for the following people tasked with installing and configuring the media server components:

●Trained field installation and maintenance personnel

●Technical support personnel

●Authorized Business Partners
