Pre-installation requirements
This section describes the tasks that you must complete before you start the installation. You
complete certain tasks before you go on site and other tasks at the site.
Preinstallation tasks to complete at the customer site
Before you start the installation, you must:
●Verify that all the required equipment is on site
●Ensure that the preinstallation team completed the preinstallation tasks
Verifying that all the required equipment is on site
Compare the list of items that were ordered to the contents of the boxes to verify that you have
all the equipment. Your project manager can give you an inventory list. Do not rely on the
packing slips inside the boxes for the correct information.
Ensuring that the preinstallation tasks are complete
The preinstallation team completes the following tasks. If these tasks are not complete, do not
continue with the installation.
●Verify that the required number of open, customer-supplied, EIA-310D (or equivalent)
standard 19-in. (48-cm) 4-post equipment rack(s) is(are) properly installed and solidly
secured. Ensure that the screws that come with the racks are present. If you use a rack
cabinet, ensure that the cabinet has adequate ventilation.
●Verify that the rail kit to support the media server is available to install.
●Verify that the rail kit that is required to support the UPS is installed on the rack or available
to install. For how to install the rails, see the documentation that comes with the rail kit.

Chapter 1: Introduction
10 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8400 Media Server February 2007
●Verify that the equipment racks are grounded per local code. See Job Aid: Approved
Grounds (555-245-772).
●Verify that the customer-provided AC power to the rack is from a nonswitched outlet.
●Verify that cables between the TN8400AP and the TN8412AP (SIPI) circuit packs are in
place.
Equipment specifications
The control network components of the S8400 Media Server consist of a G650 Media Gateway
with a TN8400AP circuit pack that is installed in slot 2, a TN8412AP (SIPI) that is installed in
slot1, and one UPS. The physical specifications for the S8400 control network are shown in
Table 1.
Table 2 shows the specifications of the TN8400AP circuit pack.

About media server port connections
The following section explains how to connect the Ethernet ports on the back of the media
server.
Ethernet ports
All Ethernet ports on the backplane I/O adapter of the S8400 Media Server can connect to the
customer LAN.
For control and adjunct connectivity, the S8400 Media Server supports the internal processor
ethernet (PE) or separate C-LAN. Messaging and administration use the customer link. If LAN
connectivity is required for administration only, PE is not required.
Media server cable adapter
The media server cable adapter is mounted on the rear of the TN8400AP Media Server circuit
pack (Figure 1: Media server cable adapter on page 12). The media server cable adapter
provides the connection between the backplane pins and the RJ-45 connectors for:
●Four backplane Ethernet ports
●One backplane USB port

for the media server cable adapter.
Ethernet connectivity with the TN8412AP circuit pack
The S8400 Media Server supports connectivity with the TN8412AP (SIPI) circuit pack. This
interface is for control signaling only. No bearer traffic is carried over this connection.
The physical connection between the TN8412AP and the TN8400 circuit packs is made by
either:
●A 10/100 BaseT Ethernet cross-over cable that directly interconnects the appropriate
backplane pins of the two circuit packs. This cable plugs into the TN8400AP cable adapter
RJ45 ETH-A port and the TN8412AP IPSI-2 adapter RJ45 control port.
●Connection to the customer LAN.

Services access port
The S8400 Media Server has one port for Services access. This port is off the Maintenance
Processor. Use this port to access the MPC and the media server on the S8400AP circuit pack
by way of the Services laptop computer.
Table 5: Services access on the MPC on page 16 lists the Services access protocols. The MPC
receives Service requests on two TCP ports, 10022 (SSH access) and 10443 (Secure Web
access).
Note:
Note: With Release 4.0 or later of Communication Manager, Telnet is disabled, so you
must use SSH to access media servers after Communication Manager software
Release 4.0 or later is installed.

About modem connections
Note:
Note: You cannot connect USB modems to rotary lines. A touch tone line is required.
The TN8400AP Media Server circuit pack supports a USB modem. The modem communicates
directly to the maintenance processor or tunnels through to the Communication Manager
processor application. The modem provides Avaya Services with remote alarming and dial-in
and dial-out access.
Connect the USB modem to the port that is labeled USB on the media server cable adapter.
The adapter is mounted on the rear of the TN8400AP Media Server circuit pack.
Modem options
You set the modem options when you configure the media server. You do not set options on the

About media gateways
In a new installation, the S8400 Media Server is installed only in the Avaya G650 Media
Gateway.
In a migration, the media server is installed only in the following Avaya Media Gateways:
●G600
●CMC1
The media servers also work with Avaya G150, G250, G350, and G700 Media Gateways.
These gateways register with the media server either through the Processor Ethernet interface
or through a TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack.
About Processor Ethernet
Like a C-LAN circuit pack, Processor Ethernet provides connectivity to IP endpoints, gateways,
and adjuncts. The PE interface is a logical connection in the Communication Manager software
that uses a port on the NIC in the server. No additional hardware is needed to implement PE.

About SSH
Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8400 Media Server February 2007 19
Starting with Release 3.1 of Communication Manager, the PE interface is enabled on the S8400
Media Server to allow enhanced flexibility to connect to gateways, endpoints, and adjuncts.
Table 6 lists the possible uses of the PE interface for an S8400.
About SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) is both a computer program and an associated network protocol that you
use to log in to and run commands on a networked computer. SSH provides secure encrypted
communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. Avaya strongly
recommends that you use SSH instead of Telnet for most interactive connections to the Avaya
media servers and other devices on a customer network.
To use SSH, a third-party SSH client must be installed on your computer. PuTTY is one such
client. You can download PuTTY from http://www.putty.nl/download.html.

Possible functions of
the PE interface Status of the function on the S8400 Media
Server
Administration needed?
Registration The PE interface is
always enabled for
registration.
No. The Communication Manager
software automatically enables the use
of the PE interface for registration.
H.248 gateway
registration H.248 gateway registration is enabled by
default.
No. The H.248 gateway enabled field
on the ip-interface procr form defaults
to yes on an S8400 Media Server. To
disable the H.248 registration, you can
change the H.248 gateway enabled
field on the ip-interfaces procr form to
no.
H.323 endpoint
registration H.323 endpoint registration is enabled by
default.
No. The H.323 endpoint enabled field
on the ip-interface procr form defaults
to yes on an S8400 Media Server. To
disable H.323 endpoint registration,
change the H.323 enabled field on the
ip-interfaces procr form to no.
Adjunct connectivity Adjunct connectivity is
enabled by default. Yes. You must administer adjuncts on the S8400 Media Server.

Chapter 1: Introduction
20 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8400 Media Server February 2007
You can use SSH to access the following devices:
●The S8300, S8400, S8500, and S8700-series Media Servers on Release 3.1 or later of
Communication Manager
Note:
Note: With Release 4.0 or later of Communication Manager, Telnet is disabled, so you
must use SSH to access the media servers after Communication Manager
software Release 4.0 or later is installed.
●A Server Availability Management Processor (SAMP), which is used with the S8500 Media
Server
●A Maintenance Processor Complex (MPC), which is used with the S8400 Media Server
●A TN2312BP IPSI that is running firmware version 20 or higher
●A TN8412AP SIPI
●A TN2602 IP Media Resource 360 that is running firmware version 212 or higher
●An Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing (EMMC) server
●A SIP Enablement Services (SES) server
●G250 and G350 media gateways
●C360 Ethernet switches
!Important:
Important: You cannot use SSH with the G700. From within the Linux command line of a
media server, you can use SSH to access the G250 and the G350, but you must
use Telnet to access the G700.
