Accessing the S8700 Media Server Remotely
over the network
You can access the S8700 Media Server from any computer connected through the LAN. To access either
server, use the IP address assigned to the server you want to access. You can also use the active server
address to connect automatically to the server that is active. Once connected, you can administer the
media server using three tools:
•
Media server web interface for server-specific administration and call processing features
•
Avaya Site Administration for Communication Manager (Only available on the active
Communication Manager server)
•
A command line interface via a Telnet window for Linux shell commands.
