Connecting to the media server remotely over a modem
Note:
Note: Remote access over a modem is for Avaya services support access only and not
for routine administration. Because the media server uses the same modem line
to report alarms, it cannot report new alarms while the line is in use.
You can access the media server through an analog modem. The remote connection requires a
minimum data speed of 33.5 kilobits per second.
1. Launch the dial-up connection program, which varies depending on your operating
system. Generally, you can access the program through My Computer or Control Panel
folders. See your computer’s help system for specific information.
2. Double-click Make New Connection to open the New Connection wizard.
3. Within the wizard, depending on your operating system, you may be asked to:
● Assign a name to the connection.
● Select dial-up to the network for the network connection type.
● Select the modem you will be using for the dial-up connection.
● Enter the appropriate telephone number to access the active server. See the
completed job aid titled Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet for the customer-supplied
telephone number(s).
● Under Advanced, select PPP and log on manually. You may have to type in a user
name and password, depending on whether or not the media server you are dialing
into has a non-null CHAP secret key. Use craft (ignore the password field).
4. Click the connection name or icon, if created. Wait for connection.
5. When prompted, enter your remote access login name and password.
6. When the Start PPP now message appears, click Done. When you see the Connection
Complete dialog box, your computer is connected to the media server.
7. To open a Telnet session, click Start > Run to open the Run dialog box.
8. In the Run dialog box, type telnet IPaddress and click OK, where IPaddress is the
address of the active media server.
