Configuring the laptop network settings
A laptop connected directly to the Services Ethernet interface on the S8300 Media Server requires a
specific configuration as described in this section.
The network settings must be configured as follows:
•
TCP/IP properties – set the laptop’s TCP/IP properties as follows:
— IP address:
192.11.13.5
— Subnet mask:
255.255.255.252
•
Browser settings – configure the browser for a direct connection to the Internet. Do not use
proxies.
•
Server address – access the S8300 media server using the URL
.
The names of the dialog boxes and buttons vary on different operating systems and browser releases. Use
your computer’s help system if needed to locate the correct place to enter this information.
The S8300 Media Server uses the same access configuration as an Avaya S8100 Media Server with a
CMC1 or G600 Media Gateway. If you already have a NetSwitcher profile for the S8100 Media Server
(formerly called DEFINITY One), try using that profile first before configuring a new one.
Setting TCP/IP properties in Windows
TCP/IP administration varies among Windows systems as described below.
NOTE:
Make a record of any IP addresses, DNS servers, or WINS entries that you change when
you configure your services computer. Unless you use the NetSwitcher program or an
equivalent, you will need to restore these entries to connect to other networks.
