Use this method when plugging the monitor into an S8100 system, thus making it look like a PC. The 
Processor Interface cable is on slot 2 of the S8100 system. Customers have their own 
monitor/mouse/keyboard setup.

Plug the monitor into the Processor Interface cable behind the S8100 server (TN2314 Processor 
circuit pack).

Plug the mouse into the Processor Interface cable behind the S8100 server (TN2314 Processor 
circuit pack).

Plug the keyboard into the Processor Interface cable behind the S8100 server (TN2314 Processor 
circuit pack).

If these devices are plugged in while the system is running, you must reboot so that the 
system will recognize these peripherals. Once recognized by the system, the devices are 
hot pluggable.

Customers may decide to connect the S8100 system to their LAN, which connects to the Ethernet jack of 
the Processor Interface cable. To configure the S8100 system as a node on the customer’s network, see 

 on page 163.

If the S8100 system is configured as a node on the customer’s LAN, use a customer PC configured on the 
LAN to access it.

This connection is not used for installations or upgrades.

The RAS dial-up connection method enables Avaya services-related personnel, INADS, or customers to 
dial in remotely using a modem. On S8100 systems, the Windows 95 or Windows 2000 Remote Access 
Service (RAS) is listening for incoming calls from COM1, to which a modem is connected. Use the 
standard Windows 95 dial-up networking operation to set up this connection from a Services laptop 
computer as per the following procedure.

In Windows 2000, use the Make a New Connection wizard to complete this procedure. 
Just follow the on-screen instructions.
