You can download Avaya Site Administration to your computer from the Avaya Site Administration
software CD. Place the Avaya Site Administration software CD in the CD-ROM drive and follow the
installation instructions in the Install Wizard. Use the Online Help for the procedures to establish a switch
(media server) record. Use the IP address of the media server and port 5023.
To start Avaya Site Administration, click Start > Programs > Avaya Site Administration. Avaya Site
Administration supports a terminal emulation mode, which is directly equivalent to SAT command
interface. Avaya Site Administration also supports a whole range of other features, including the GEDI
and Data Import. For more information, see the Online Help, Guided Tour, and Show Me accessed from
the Avaya Site Administration Help menu.
Logins
Initial configuration and upgrades by an Avaya field tech or business partner requires a services login,
such as craft or dadmin. Customer’s can set up their own logins for accessing Avaya’s media servers. See
the Avaya Communication Manager Little Instruction Book for Basic Administration (555-233-756) for
specific information. You must have superuser permission to create or change logins and passwords.
NOTE:
When assigning login IDs, do not start them with a number.
Network configuration
A new network connection must be configured as follows:
NOTE:
Write down the original settings in case you need to change them back.
Printer port
Standard PC or network printer port is required for connecting to
a printer to produce station button labels.
Network adapter
Required for network access to the Avaya Media Server,
AUDIX, and other network-connected systems.
Free serial ports
One free serial port capable of 9600-bps operation is required for
a connection to each serial device (UPS).
We recommend that PCs have at least a 16550A UART or
16550A UART simulator (capable of 56 kbps DTE-speed
connections). USB and internal modems should emulate this
hardware.
A second serial port is required for simultaneous connection to
AUDIX through a serial connection.
