64 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
To connect a laptop directly to the serial port on the G700 media gateway
1. For a stacked configuration, locate the device that contains the master controller for the
stack.
Check the LED panel on the upper left of each G700 or C360 device in the stack as follows:
- G700 Media Gateway: a lit MSTR LED indicates that this unit is the stack master.
- A non-G700, C360 device: a lit SYS LED indicates that this unit is the stack master.
2. Connect the RS-232 serial cable and DB-9 adapter cable provided with the G700 between
your laptop and the G700.
a. Attach one end of the RS-232 cable to the RJ-45 jack on the front of the G700 that is the
stack master. The serial port is on the lower right side of the chassis, labeled Console.
b. Plug the other end of the RS-232 cable into the RJ-45 jack on the DB-9 adapter cable.
c. Connect the other end of the DB-9 adapter cable to the 9-pin serial port on your laptop.
3. Use a serial-connection program such as HyperTerminal to access the P330 Stack
Processor.
Connecting a laptop to the customer LAN
To connect to the customer’s LAN, either on site or remotely over the Internet, your PC must be
assigned an IP address on the LAN. The IP address can be a static address on the customer’s
LAN that you enter in the TCP/IP properties or it can be assigned dynamically with DHCP. Ask
the customer how they want you to make the connection.
Connecting an external modem to the S8300 media server
Each S8300 Media Server requires a Universal Serial Bus (USB) modem for maintenance
access and to call out an alarm. The external modem may be connected to the S8300 media
server through a universal serial bus (USB) connection, providing dial-up access. The modem
type is not optional and must be the specific modem that is shipped with the S8300. Other
requirements include:
● The modem requires its own external analog line.
● The remote connection should support a data speed of at least 33.6 Kbps.
● The remote PC must be administered for PPP connections in order to connect through a
modem.
A dial-up connection is typically used only for services support of the server, not for routine
administration. If the Server is administered to report OSS alarms, it uses the same line for
alarm notification. The server cannot report any new alarms while this line is in use.
