The following describes each of the configuration pages:

●Set Identities — Use this page to assign Avaya server host names and to assign server functions to a physical Ethernet interface. The options are pre populated with defaults, but should be changed as needed for the customer’s configuration. See Ethernet interface assignments on page 40 for a guide to assigning functions to Ethernet interfaces.

Configure Interfaces — Use this page to enter the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and speed for the management LAN and control network.

Configure ESS/LSP — Use this page to configure the server as either a primary controller for the system or as an Enterprise Survivable Server (ESS) or a Local Survivable Processor (LSP).

●Configure Memory — For the S8720 main or ESS server, S8710 ESS server, use this page to configure the server as either standard or extra large. A server that is configured as extra large provides higher capacities.

●Configure Switches — Use this page to specify an IP address and optional SNMP community strings for any Ethernet adjuncts that the Avaya server controls, that are connected to the server over a private LAN.

●Set DNS/DHCP — Use this page to enable the different devices (endpoints) in your Avaya call-processing system to communicate over the corporate LAN. Most corporate networks have one or more domain name service (DNS) servers that associate an IP address with the name of a device. When you administer the DNS with the Avaya server names, you can access the servers by name and by IP address over the corporate network.

●Set Static Routes — Use this page only if the network administrator instructs you. If the administrator does not specify a particular route for the server to send information over the network, leave the options blank and click Continue.

●

●

Configure Time Server — Use this page to specify the time source that the Avaya server uses to set the time of day.

Set Modem Interface — Use this page to enable Avaya services or another trouble-tracking service to monitor the Avaya server for alarms. Technical-support representatives can dial in to this interface to fix problems as they occur.
