3. If your browser does not have a valid security certificate, you will see a
warning screen and instructions to load the security certificate.

security certificate to access the Login screen.

confirmation information in upper- or lowercase as required.

click Login or press Enter again.
■ ASG challenge. If your login is Access Security Gateway (ASG)
protected, you will see a challenge screen. Enter the correct response

6. The server will match your login information against its authentication
tables. If the information you entered is recognized as a valid login, the
screen displays a two-frame window, with the main menu in the left panel
and a usage-agreement notice in the right window.
■ If the main menu in the left panel has only about 10 links, you have
accessed the server from a login ID that has restricted permissions.
You can adjust the login service levels using the Login
Administration screen in Avaya™ Site Administration or SAT.
■ If the server cannot recognize your user name or password, you
receive an authentication failure message. Return to step 5. If you
fail to enter the user name and login confirmation correctly 4 times
within a few minutes, the Login screen will block further attempts to
log in for a while.
7. When you successfully log in to the server, check the top of the left panel.
The Avaya media server you are logged into is identified by name and
server number. The S8300 Media Server number is always 1. The S8700
Media Server shows two servers.
