Avaya S8400 manual About SSH, TN8412AP Sipi

Chapter 1: Introduction

About SSH

Secure Shell (SSH) is both a computer program and an associated network protocol designed for logging into and executing commands on a networked computer. SSH provides secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. Avaya recommends using SSH instead of Telnet for most interactive connections to the Avaya media servers and other devices on a customer’s network.

To use SSH, a third-party SSH client must be installed on your computer. PuTTY is one such client available for download from http://www.putty.nl/download.html.

Devices that can be accessed with SSH include:

●Media servers on Release 3.1 of Communication Manager: S8300, S8400, S8500, S8700-series

May include port number reference 5022 for direct SAT access.

●Server Availability Management Processor (SAMP) (used with S8500 Media Server) May include port number reference 10022 for direct access

●Maintenance Processor Complex (MPC) (used with S8400 Media Server) May include port number reference 10022 for direct access

●TN2312BP IPSI running firmware version 20 or higher

●TN8412AP SIPI

●TN2602 IP Media Resource 360 running firmware version 212 or higher

●Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing (EMMC) and the S6100 Media Server

●SIP server

●G250 and G350 media gateways

●C360 Ethernet switches

! Important:

G700 does not allow the use of SSH. From within a media server's Linux command line, you can use SSH to access the G250 and G350, but you must use telnet to access the G700. In this case, the server is the SSH client, not PuTTY.
