Avaya S8300 User Manual

Install New Software on the S8300

Use this procedure only if you selected one of the customer-provided keys options in the previous 
procedure. 

If encryption between the NTS and S8300 Media Server is to be used for additional security, you must 
provide a keys.install file that specifies for each key:

The key number

The encryption type

The key code

If the keys file is short, the network administrator can create one now during configuration if needed:

On a directly connected laptop or other computer, create a flat-text file named 

 with 

the correct keys information using any ASCII application. 

Next, upload the keys.install file using the 

 screen as described earlier.

When finished, click on the Configure Server wizard window to resume server configuration.

The keys file can be loaded in one of the following ways.

 If a keys.install file was previously created on or downloaded to the services laptop or another computer 
on the network, it can be installed now as follows. 

In the main menu under 

, click the 

 link. 

Locate the

 file on your computer or network, then click 

. The file is 

uploaded to the media server’s FTP directory.

When finished, click on the Configure Server wizard window to resume server configuration.

Longer files may be transferred from the network time server to the S8300 Media Server as follows:

Using either the 

 screen or the Transfer files using an FTP procedure to 

access the keys file listed on your pre installation worksheet.

In both cases, the file is transferred to the media server’s FTP directory. 

When finished, click on the Configure Server wizard window to resume server configuration.

After the keys.install file is uploaded, select the location where it resides, usually in the 

 subdirectory. (Services personnel may direct you to use the /tmp directory.)

If a keys file is not used, or if the correct keys.install file is already installed, select the option to 
not install a new keys file.

In the main menu under Server, click 

.

The S8300 displays the Set Server Time/Timezone window.

Set the media server’s time close enough to the NTS’s time, date, and time zone that 
synchronization can occur (within about 5 minutes).
