Installing the Avaya S8700 Media Server
with the G650 Media Gateway
These procedures are for installing a new Avaya S8700 Media Server with a G650 Media Gateway. The
S8700 Media Server can be either a Multi-Connect configuration or an IP-Connect configuration. The
installation procedures are basically the same. Where they differ, it is noted.
As part of the procedures for configuring the various pieces of hardware, you use two administration
interfaces: the Maintenance Web Interface and a command line interface using either telnet or Native
Configuration Manager.
We recommend that you have the following documents on hand for the installation. These are included
on the Avaya S8300, S8500, and S8700 Media Server Library CD (555-233-825).
