Preventing Toll Fraud
"Toll fraud" is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system
by an unauthorized party (for example, a person who is not a corporate
employee, agent, subcontractor, or is not working on your company's
behalf). Be aware that there may be a risk of toll fraud associated with
your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can result in substantial
additional charges for your telecommunications services.

Providing Telecommunications Security
Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and/or video
communications) is the prevention of any type of intrusion to (that is,
either unauthorized or malicious access to or use of) your company's
telecommunications equipment by some party.
Your company's "telecommunications equipment" includes both this
Avaya product and any other voice/data/video equipment that could be
accessed via this Avaya product (that is, "networked equipment").
An "outside party" is anyone who is not a corporate employee, agent,
subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf. Whereas, a
"malicious party" is anyone (including someone who may be otherwise
authorized) who accesses your telecommunications equipment with
either malicious or mischievous intent.
Such intrusions may be either to/through synchronous (time-multiplexed
and/or circuit-based), or asynchronous (character-, message-, or
packet-based) equipment, or interfaces for reasons of:
• Utilization (of capabilities special to the accessed equipment)
• Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets, or toll
facility access)
• Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)
• Mischief (troubling, but apparently innocuous, tampering)
• Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration,
regardless of motive or intent)
Be aware that there may be a risk of unauthorized intrusions associated
with your system and/or its networked equipment. Also realize that, if
such an intrusion should occur, it could result in a variety of losses to your
company (including but not limited to, human/data privacy, intellectual
property, material assets, financial resources, labor costs, and/or legal
costs).
Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications Security
The final responsibility for securing both this system and its networked
equipment rests with you - Avaya’s customer system administrator, your
telecommunications peers, and your managers. Base the fulfillment of
your responsibility on acquired knowledge and resources from a variety
of sources including but not limited to:
• Installation documents
• System administration documents
• Security documents
• Hardware-/software-based security tools
• Shared information between you and your peers
• Telecommunications security experts
To prevent intrusions to your telecommunications equipment, you and
your peers should carefully program and configure:
• Your Avaya-provided telecommunications systems and their
interfaces
• Your Avaya-provided software applications, as well as their
underlying hardware/software platforms and interfaces
• Any other equipment networked to your Avaya products
TCP/IP Facilities
Customers may experience differences in product performance, reliability
and security depending upon network configurations/design and
topologies, even when the product performs as warranted.

Issue 2 June 2005 7
Chapter 1: Converting an S8300 from ICC to LSP
and upgrading Communication Manager from
1.x to 2.x
This document provides a high-level list of tasks for converting an S8300 primary controller
(ICC) to Local Survivable Processor (LSP) mode, and upgrading Avaya Communication
Manager from 1.x to 2.x.
Note:
Note: An upgrade to Avaya Communication Manager 2.1 or later requires an S8300B
Media Server, which means replacing the S8300A Media Server, if it is in use.
For an upgrade to release 2.0.x, replacing the S8300A Media Server is not
required, but recommended.
To complete these tasks, you will need the following additional documents:
●Installation and Upgrades for Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media
Server, 555-234-100. (To obtain this document, go to http://support.avaya.com and
navigate to Installations, Migrations, Upgrades & Configurations; then select the
appropriate document.
●Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager, 03-300509.
●Converting between an ICC and LSP, which is for U.S.-based systems only. Similar
documents for non-US systems should be available from the regional web sites.
In this scenario, an S8300A configured as an internal call controller (ICC), and running
Communication Manager release 1.x, is replaced by an S8300B, running Communication
Manager release 2.x in LSP mode.
The tasks include:
1. Moving the endpoints supported by the ICC to a different primary controller.
2. Updating the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server alternate controller list.
3. Updating the media gateway controller (MGC) list.
4. Replacing the S8300A Media Server with the S8300B Media Server.
5. Remastering the S8300 hard drive.
6. Installing the 2.x Communication Manager software.
7. Configuring the S8300B as an LSP.
8. Upgrading the gateway and media module firmware.
Follow the detailed procedures in Installation and Upgrades for Avaya G700 Media Gateway
and Avaya S8300 Media Server, 555-234-100, Issue 8, April 2005, for most of the tasks in this
conversion scenario.

Before going to the site
Perform the tasks in this section before going to the customer site.
Task Steps/Comments
1. Redesign networks. ●Assess the impact of the ICC to LSP
conversion on all voice and voice
messaging network nodes. Plan for any
necessary changes to network elements.
●In particular, collect the server
configuration information for the new LSP;
that is, host name and IP address, primary
controller IP address(es), DNS/DHCP IP
addresses (if used), UPS IP addresses (if
used), static routes data (if used), time
server data, modem return route data (if
supported by Avaya Services).
2. Create/update license
andauthenticationfiles
on the RFA web site.
●Go to http://rfa.avaya.com and follow the
steps in Converting between an ICC and
LSP (or a similar region-specific document
if the system is outside the U.S.) to create
new license and authentication files for the
LSP.
●If the new primary controller that will
support the LSP is being migrated to
Communication Manager 2.x, you need to
create a new license file for the primary
controller.
3. Obtain pre-upgrade
service pack, if
necessary.
If you are upgrading software from certain
releases of Communication Manager, you may
need to obtain a pre-upgrade service pack (see
Pre-upgrade service pack requirements on
page 10).
4. Obtain a replacement
S8300B Media Server,
if needed.
If you are upgrading an S8300A to software
release 2.1 or later, you will have to replace the
S8300A with an S8300B Media Server.

Issue 2 June 2005 9
5. Obtain post-upgrade
service pack file, if any. Go to http://support.avaya.com and click
Downloads to see if there is a service pack file
available for the Communication Manager
release to which you are upgrading. For
example, release 2.1, load 411.7. If there is a
service pack file available, download it and take
it to the site.
6. Obtain the
Communication
Manager 2.x software
CD and a USB
CD-ROM drive.
The steps to remaster the S8300 hard drive and
install the 2.x release of Communication
Manager software require the Server CD and an

Pre-upgrade service pack requirements
The upgrade may require a pre-upgrade service pack, depending on the release of Avaya
Communication Manager from which you are upgrading. Pre-upgrade service pack
requirements on page 10 describes when a service pack is required.
Table 1: Pre-upgrade service pack requirements
Software release of existing
media server Pre-upgrade service pack requirement
Release 1.0, 1.1.x, all other
1.x.x releases not listed below
(R011x.01.xxx.x)
On the Maintenance Web Interface, the pre-upgrade
service pack is not compatible; therefore, there is no
provision for Linux backup/restore. You must manually
record all configuration data for later reentry.
Release 1.2.x/1.3
(R011x.02.110.4)
(R011x.03.526.6)
You need the service pack that sets up the Linux backup/
restore feature on the Maintenance Web Interface. You
install the pre-upgrade service pack, then back up and
restore the system files. If you back up the files to the
customer’s network, you must minimally reconfigure the
media server to assign an IP address to the Ethernet port
connected to the customer’s network. Make sure you have
the configuration settings before going on site.
Release 1.3.1
(R011x.03.1.531.0)
(R011x.03.1.5xx.x)
You do not need the service pack. You can back up and
restore the system files without the service pack. If you
back up the files to the customer’s network, you must
minimally reconfigure the media server to assign an IP
address to the Ethernet port connected to the customer’s
network. Make sure you have the configuration settings
before going on site.

To convert the ICC to an LSP, you complete selected tasks from Chapters 3 and 5.
You need to complete only some of the tasks in these chapters. The specific tasks
are identified by page number in the left-hand column. The subtasks to perform or
skip are listed in the right-hand column.
It is important to note where the task is performed. Most of the tasks are done on a
server or gateway — on the ICC/LSP S8300, on the primary controller for the LSP,
on a DHCP server, or on the media gateway processor (MGP). The headings
below indicate on which of these devices the task is performed.
On the new LSP’s primary controller
1. Administer the primary
controller that the LSP
(after conversion) will
use.
Start on page 157 if
the primary controller
is an S8300.
Start on page 163 if
the primary controller
is an S8700 or S8500.
●Assign node names

Converting an S8300 from ICC to LSP and upgrading Communication Manager from 1.x to 2.x
16 Converting an Avaya S8300 Media Server Between ICC and LSP Modes

Issue 2 June 2005 17
Chapter 2: Converting an S8300 from LSP to ICC
and upgrading Communication Manager from
1.x to 2.x
This document provides a high-level list of tasks for converting an S8300 in Local Survivable
Processor (LSP) mode to primary controller (ICC) mode, and upgrading Avaya Communication
Manager from 1.x to 2.x.
Note:
Note: An upgrade to Avaya Communication Manager 2.1 or later requires an S8300B
Media Server, which means replacing the S8300A Media Server, if it is in use.
For an upgrade to release 2.0.x, replacing the S8300A Media Server is not
required, but recommended.
To complete these tasks, you will need the following additional documents:
●Installation and Upgrades for Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media
Server, 555-234-100. (To obtain this document, go to http://support.avaya.com and
navigate to Installations, Migrations, Upgrades & Configurations; then select the
appropriate document.
●Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager, 03-300509.
●Converting between an LSP and ICC, which is for U.S.-based systems only. Similar
documents for non-US systems should be available from the regional web sites.
In this scenario, an S8300A configured as an LSP and running Communication Manager
release 1.x, is replaced by an S8300B configured as a standalone ICC primary controller,
running Communication Manager release 2.0.x.
The tasks include:
1. Removing the LSP from the current primary controller.
2. Updating the DHCP server alternate controller list.
3. Updating the gateway MGC list.
4. Replacing the S8300A Media Server with the S8300B Media Server.
5. Remastering the S8300B hard drive.
6. Installing the 2.x Communication Manager software.
7. Configuring the S8300B as an ICC.
8. Administering the new ICC, its media gateway, and any gateways to be controlled by the
new ICC.

9. Moving the endpoints supported by the current primary controller to the ICC.
10. Upgrading the gateway and media module firmware.
Follow the detailed procedures in Installation and Upgrades for Avaya G700 Media Gateway
and Avaya S8300 Media Server, 555-234-100, Issue 8, April 2005, for most of the tasks in this
conversion scenario.

Task Steps/Comments
1. Redesign networks. ●Assess the impact of the LSP to ICC
conversion on all voice and voice
messaging network nodes. Plan for any
necessary changes to network elements.
●In particular, collect the server
configuration information for the new ICC;
that is, host name and IP address, primary
controller IP address, DNS/DHCP IP
addresses (if used), UPS IP addresses (if
used), static routes data (if used), time
server data, modem return route data (if
supported by Avaya Services).
2. Create/update license
andauthenticationfiles
on the RFA web site.
Go to http://rfa.avaya.com and follow the steps in
Converting between an LSP and ICC(or a similar
region-specific document if the system is outside
the U.S.) to create new license and
authentication files for the ICC.
3. Obtain pre-upgrade
service pack, if
necessary.
If you are upgrading software from certain
releases of Communication Manager, you may
need to obtain a pre-upgrade service pack (see
Pre-upgrade service pack requirements on
page 19).
4. Obtain a replacement
S8300B Media Server,
if needed.
If you are upgrading an S8300A to software
release 2.1 or later, you will have to replace the
S8300A with an S8300B Media Server.

Pre-upgrade service pack requirements
Issue 2 June 2005 19
Pre-upgrade service pack requirements
The upgrade may require a pre-upgrade service pack, depending on the release of Avaya
Communication Manager from which you are upgrading. Pre-upgrade service pack
requirements on page 19 describes when a service pack is required.
5. Obtain post-upgrade
service pack file, if any. Go to http://support.avaya.com and check
Software/Firmware Downloads to see if there is a
service pack file available for the Communication
Manager release you are upgrading to. For
example, release 2.1, load 411.7. If there is a
service pack file available, download it and take it
to the site.
6. ObtainCommunication
Manager 2.x software
CD and a USB
CD-ROM drive.
The steps to remaster the S8300 hard drive and
install the 2.x release of Communication
Manager software require the Unity CD and an
external USB CD-ROM drive.
Task Steps/Comments
Table 2: Pre-upgrade service pack requirements
Software release of existing
media server Pre-upgrade service pack requirement
Release 1.0, 1.1.x, all other
1.x.x releases not listed below
(R011x.01.xxx.x)
On the Maintenance Web Interface, the pre-upgrade
service pack is not compatible; therefore, there is no
provision for Linux backup/restore. You must manually
record all configuration data for later reentry.
Release 1.2.x/1.3
(R011x.02.110.4)
(R011x.03.526.6)
You need the service pack that sets up the Linux backup/
restore feature on the Maintenance Web Interface. You
install the pre-upgrade service pack, then back up and
restore the system files. If you back up the files to the
customer’s network, you must minimally reconfigure the
media server to assign an IP address to the Ethernet port
connected to the customer’s network. Make sure you have
the configuration settings before going on site.
Release 1.3.1
(R011x.03.1.531.0)
(R011x.03.1.5xx.x)
You do not need the service pack. You can back up and
restore the system files without the service pack. If you
back up the files to the customer’s network, you must
minimally reconfigure the media server to assign an IP
address to the Ethernet port connected to the customer’s
network. Make sure you have the configuration settings
before going on site.
