Use this screen to return an Avaya media server to its default configuration, so it is set up the same way as a new server shipped from the factory. Use this procedure if:
you are installing an Avaya media server that was previously used in (and configured for) another system, or
you chose the wrong configuration type when you first configured your Avaya media server, and now need to reset its type to either S87800 IP Connect or Multi-Connect configuration. Resetting the server defaults causes the Choose Server screen to appear (normally the Configure Server wizard does not display this screen after a server has been configured).
This procedure must be done from a laptop computer connected
to the services interface on the media server. When the server defaults
are reset, the only Ethernet interface that will be operational is the
Ethernet interface 1 link to the laptop.
To return a server to its default configuration:
If the system is providing service, make sure the server you intend to configure is on standby, not active. View Summary Status and Interchange Servers if needed.
Connect the laptop to the services interface on the Avaya media server to be reset.
If the services interface
has been changed from its default value of Ethernet 1, the link will stop
working after the server's default values are reset. However, you must
initially connect to the administered link to run this procedure. See
Accessing a
reconfigured interface for details.
Log in to the server.
Busy out the server.
On the main menu under Server Configuration and Upgrades, click Reset to Defaults.
The screen lists files that will be replaced, removed, or altered. Click the Reset to Defaults button.
You see the same type of status readout as the Updating system files screen in the Configure Server wizard. This takes about 5 minutes to complete. When it finishes, verify that all configuration information was reset without problems.
If the configuration status stops at some point and
the screen appears to freeze, you may have lost contact with the server.
See Loss of server connection
for details.
The server is now ready to be configured. See Configuration at a glance for complete steps.
