Copy files to the server
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) Files must be copied to the media server
from another computer or server in the network, or uploaded from a directly
connected laptop computer. Files that may be copied to the server include license
and authentication files, system announcements, and files for software upgrades.
Files may be copied to the server using one of the following methods:
■ Upload Files to Server (via browser) link to upload one or more files from
your computer to the server’s FTP directory using HTTP protocol.
■ Download Files to Server (from web) link to copy files to the server from
another server on the network; it works like the Upload Files screen.
■ Transfer files from another computer or server accessible from the
corporate network using FTP or Trivial FTP (TFTP). Files must be
transferred in binary mode. Either a GUI or CLI FTP program can be used,
depending on what is available on your computer.
SNMP administration
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) You can set up Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) services on the server to provide a means for a
corporate NMS to monitor the server, and send alarm notifications to a services
agency, to a corporate NMS, or both.
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) To activate SNMP alarm notification for
the S8300 and S8700 devices, use the Configure Trap Destinations screen to set
up SNMP destinations in the corporate NMS. SNMP traps for other devices on the
network can be administered using Device Manager; see ‘‘Using Device Manager
to administer G700 Media Gateway components’’.
Downloadable programs
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) In addition to housing the call-processing
software, the S8300 and S8700 Media Server may be used to download the
following application software. A downloadable version of these packages may
be accessed through the S8300 and S8700 Media Server Web Interface. This
software must be installed on a computer that is running a compatible Microsoft
Windows system as noted.
■ Avaya Site Administration is the typical way to do telephony
administration. It runs on most Windows systems and is available in
several languages. See ‘‘Call-processing administration’’ for details.
■ Avaya VoIP Monitoring Manager is used to monitor network Quality of
Service (QoS) for Avaya IP endpoints using a graphical user interface.
Currently it runs only on Windows 2000 systems.
