The S8700 Media Server Web Interface provides wizards to guide you through two procedures:
Configure Server wizard: to prepare a new or replacement Avaya media server for service, or to enter new configuration information. You access this wizard from the Configure Server link from the main web administration window.
Install New Software wizard: to upgrade the version of software that the media server is running. You access this wizard from the Install New Software Release link in the main web administration window.
Tips using the Configure Server or Install New Software wizards include:
The wizards are used serially. If you change any data:
In the Install New Software wizard: Cancel the installation wizard, and run it again. This is the safest way to prevent possible problems.
In the Configure Server wizard: The first time you run this wizard, you enter a lot of data manually. If you find you have to check, or possibly change, something you entered on a previous screen:
Use your browser's Back button to page back through the Configure Server screens.
Check or change the item.
Always click the Continue button to move forward again, whether you change anything or not. If you don't do this, information in the wizard may not be processed correctly.
You can (if desired) cancel the Configure Server wizard, and run it again from the beginning.
However:
If you Cancel the Configure Server wizard, any data you may have entered is lost.
You may cancel the Configure Server wizard if you verified server settings already configured, or if you are making a few changes.
All web pages time out if left inactive for 30 minutes (see Automatic time-out). If this occurs while you are using one of the wizards:
You see a session time-out message in the main web administration interface window.
You must log in again, then:
For the Install New Software wizard: You have the option to resume the installation. When you click the Install New Software Release link, you see a message saying that a session is already in progress. If you choose to take over the session, the wizard will return you to whatever point the installation was interrupted. See Resume installation for details.
For the Configure Server wizard: All data you may have entered is lost. You need to run the Configure Server wizard again from the beginning.
Caution:
If you lose data after a time-out, it must be re-entered manually.
Run the configuration procedure in one session without interruptions greater
than 30 minutes.
Each wizard lists the steps (screens) in the wizard along the left side of the window. The screen that you are working on currently is highlighted. This listing is provided to show your progression through the wizard. The screens cannot be used for navigation (to back up or move forward in the wizard).
When you click the Configure Server or Install New Software Release link in the main web administration window, the wizard pops up in a new window on your screen. You can switch between this window and other windows on your computer using the features supported by your computer, such as Alt+tab or your computer's task bar.
Some procedures require you to access another screen in the main web administration window. To do this:
Access the main web administration window, then click the link for the required screen.
When you finish, switch back to the wizard window and continue that procedure.
