Connecting to the media server remotely over the network

You can access the media server from any computer connected through the LAN. However, make sure 
the LAN security settings allow remote access. 

To access the media server, open a Web browser or a terminal emulation application. In the address field, 
type in the IP address or DNS host name assigned to the media server you want to access.

You can also use the active (alias) media server address to connect automatically to the media server that 
is active.

This section covers the following tasks:

Remote access over a modem is for Avaya services support access only and not for routine 
administration. Because the media server uses the same 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 data speed 
of at least 33.5 kilobits per second.

To use a computer modem, you first must set it up through your dial-up connection.

Launch the dial-up connection program, which varies depending on your operating system. 
Generally, you can access them through My Computer or Control Panel folders. See your 
computer’s help system for specific information.

Double-click Make New Connection to open the New Connection wizard.

Within the wizard, and 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.
