Chapter 1: Introduction
10 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8400 Media Server February 2006
Laptop preparation, software, and system information
Verify that:
●The services laptop has the right hardware and software. See Connecting to the media
server directly on page 75 for the list of computer hardware and software specifications.
●Current Avaya Communications Manager translations are available for download.
●You have a completed Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet (EPW) on the services laptop.
See the Avaya Installation Wizard Web site (http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw) for the
blank form.
The EPW provides customer system information, including:
- IP addresses
- Product IDs for the media server, remote maintenance board, and IA 770 if used
- Avaya services telephone number for remote access over modem
- Avaya services IP address for alarms through the network
●You have the current Communications Manager software update, if required, on your
services laptop
●You have current firmware, including for the media server BIOS. Check the Avaya Support
Web site (http://support.avaya.com), Download Software and Firmware, for the latest
software and firmware. Firmware for the SIPIs, C-LAN, MedPro, and VAL circuit packs are
on the software CD.
●You have License and Avaya authentication files on your services laptop.
●You have all login IDs and passwords needed to access the media server, maintenance
adapter, and server complex components. This includes the unique service password for
your customer’s equipment.
- To obtain the unique password for a specific media server, call ASG Conversant
(1.800.248.1234 or 1.720.444.5557). You must have the IL, FL, or product ID to get
the password.
- To log in through the services port as craft after you install the Avaya authentication
file, use this password, which does not require an ASG challenge or response.
Copying files to the laptop
In addition to the license and Avaya authentication files, you must copy other required files to
the services laptop. This includes the filled-out Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet (EPW); any
service packs; current firmware, including firmware for the BIOS, remote maintenance board,
and programmable circuit packs.

Pre-installation: before going on site
Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8400 Media Server February 2006 11

Avaya Installation Wizard Web site (http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw). Have the customer fill it
out.
To get the service pack, go to the Avaya Support Web site (http://avaya.com/support) and select
Software & Firmware Downloads to identify and copy the required service pack.
To get the latest firmware for the BIOS, remote maintenance board, and programmable circuit
packs, go to the Avaya Support Web site at http://avaya.com/support and select Software &
Firmware Downloads to identify and copy the latest firmware.
To get instructions on installing firmware, go to:
ftp://ftp.avaya.com/incoming/Up1cku9/tsoweb/firmware/TNpackFirmwareDownloadInstructions.pdf
About ASG and the unique on-site password
After installing the Avaya authentication files, Access Security Gateway (ASG) protects Avaya
services logins to the media server. The ASG challenge/response protocol confirms the validity
of each user, reducing the opportunity for unauthorized access.
If you use the craft password that is unique to the server of the customer and access the media
server on site, you can use this password the next time you log in as craft. You do not need an
ASG challenge/response to log in this way. Every other means of craft access still requires an
ASG challenge/response.
Obtaining license and Avaya authentication files
Use Remote Feature Activation (RFA) to obtain the Communication Manager license and Avaya
authentication files. RFA is a Web-based application, available to Avaya employees and
authorized BusinessPartners. WIth RFA, you can create and deploy license files for all
Communication Manager product platforms. For more information about RFA and how to
generate license and Avaya authentication files, see the RFA Information page at http://
rfa.avaya.com.
Note:
Note: To access the RFA application, you must complete the RFA online training and
have received access authorization.
To generate a license file, you need the following information:
●Your personal Single Sign-On (SSO) for the RFA Web site authentication login
●SAP order number
●Required customer information

Chapter 1: Introduction
12 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8400 Media Server February 2006
●For a new license, the serial number of one TN2312BP Internet Protocol Server Interface
(IPSI) or TN8412AP System Internet Protocol Interface (SIPI) circuit pack designated the
reference IP interface.
●For an updated license, the RFA system ID (SID) for the existing media server, which is
necessary to locate the existing license
●Internet access to the RFA Web page with Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
Before arriving on site, download the license and Avaya authentication files to the services
laptop. The license and Avaya authentication files are installed during the installation process.
Once the Avaya authentication files are installed, a challenge/response system called Access
Security Gateway (ASG) protects Avaya services logins to the media server. The ASG
challenge/response protocol confirms the validity of each user, reducing the opportunity for
unauthorized access.
When finished installing the Avaya authentication file, Avaya Communication Manager has a
password for the craft login. This password is unique to the server of the customer. You can use
the password the next time you log in as craft, provided you access the media server through
the services port. You do not need an ASG challenge/response to log in this way, even though
every other means of craft access still requires an ASG challenge/response. RFA records the
revised password. ASG Conversant provides this password at 1-800-248-1234 or
1-720-444-5557.

About media server port connections
Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8400 Media Server February 2006 15
For control and adjunct connectivity, the S8400 Media Server supports the internal processor
ethernet or separate C-LAN. Messaging and administration use the customer link. If LAN
connectivity is required only for administration, processor ethernet is not required.

Ethernet connectivity with the TN8412AP circuit pack
The S8400 Media Server supports connectivity with the TN8412AP (SIPI) circuit pack through a
10/100 BaseT Ethernet twisted pair on the IPSI-2 cable adapter. This interface is for control only
- no bearer traffic is carried over this connection. This Ethernet is connected to the
Communication Manager Processor complex. The IPSI-2 cable adapter is mounted on the rear
of the TN8412AP SIPI circuit pack.
The physical connection between the TN8412AP and the TN8400 circuit packs is made by
either:
1. Using a 10/100 Base T Ethernet crossover 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.
2. Connection to the customer LAN.

About Modem connections
Note:
Note: USB modems cannot connect 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 port labeled USB on the media server cable adapter. The adapter
is mounted on the rear of the TN8400AP Media Server circuit pack.
Modem options are set when you configure the media server. No options are set on the
modems themselves.
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
In addition, the media servers work with Avaya G150, G250, G350, and G700 Media Gateways.
These gateways register with the S8400 either through the S8400 Processor Ethernet interface
or through a TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack.
