Avaya Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes for Configuring Aruba 5000 and 2400 Wireless LAN Switches to Support Avaya Communication Manager, Avaya IP Wireless Telephone and Avaya IP Softphone - Issue 1.0 Abstract These Application Notes describe the procedure for configuring the Aruba Wireless LAN Switches to support Avaya Communication Manager, Avaya IP Wireless Telephone and IP Softphone.
1. Introduction These Application Notes describe a compliance-tested configuration comprising of Aruba 5000 and 2400 Wireless LAN Switches. Aruba designs the wireless LAN switches for distributive network infrastructure. The basic infrastructure consists of a master switch, Aruba 5000, and a remote switch, Aruba 2400. All wireless related configurations are done on the master switch and the configuration is then pushed to all remote switches. The Aruba Access Point (AP) supports 802.11a/b/g modes.
Figure 1 shows the network configuration used for verification.

5. Configure the Avaya S8500 Media Server with the Avaya G650 Media Gateway This section describes the steps necessary to configure the Avaya S8500 Media Server with a G650 Media Gateway. 5.1. Configuring the Ethernet Interfaces of the Avaya S8500 Media Servers The Avaya S8500 Media Server is configured using a web interface. To access the web interface, connect a computer’s Ethernet interface to the services port of the Avaya S8500 Media Server with a crossover Ethernet cable.
Step 1. Description Configuring S8500 Media Server • • Click Set Identities and enter the information shown below. Click Continue. SZ; Reviewed: WCH 11/24/2004 Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes ©2004 Avaya Inc. All Rights Reserved. 12 of 23 Aruba-wireless.
