Install License and Authentication Files

You load new license or authentication files from the services laptop or another computer on the network.

Note: If your S8300 Media Server is already set up for remote access, Avaya services personnel can copy new license and authentication file information directly into the FTP directory on the server. Avaya personnel will notify you when the new files are in place as agreed (for example, by telephone or email). To install the files, use the Install License and Install Avaya Authentication screens from the S8300 main menu Web page.

Note: Before an upload or download, be sure the S8300 FTP directory contains no files with a .pwd or.lic extension. Only one of these files can exist in a directory. If one exists, move, rename, or delete it.

CAUTION: After you install the license and authentication files, be sure to perform Run Save Translations. This task saves the official passwords for the customer's system in the MultiVantage software. If you fail to perform this step, you may be irretrievably locked out of the system later in the installation when the system reboots.

Connect Laptop to Services Port of S8300

Begin _____________________

To connect your laptop directly to the S8300 Media Server:

1. Make sure your laptop meets the hardware and software requirements.
2. Plug an Ethernet crossover cable (MDI to MDI-X) into the 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network interface card (NIC) on your laptop.
• Crossover cables of various lengths are commercially available.
• See Table 7 for pinout connections if needed. Crossover of the transmit and receive pairs (as shown) is required
3. Connect the other end of the laptop's Ethernet cable to the Services port on the front of the S8300 media server (see Figure 15 on page 67).
4. If your laptop is already configured with the correct network settings, you can now open your Internet browser and log in.
• When accessing the server from a directly connected laptop, always type the following IP address in the browser's Address or Location field to access the server: 192.11.13.6
• If you have never connected this laptop directly to an S8300 Media Server before, see Set up a laptop for an S8300 Media Server direct Ethernet connection.
