In a single NIC configuration, you use one network interface. That is, the AE Services server uses one NIC for client, switch and media connectivity.

In a single NIC configuration, the AE Services server, Communication Manager, and the client application computer must reside on a private LAN, a virtual LAN (VLAN), or a WAN. In terms of setting up the AE Services IP (Local IP), this means you are using one NIC for client, switch, and media connectivity.

In a single NIC configuration, you must configure the IP interface for the AE Services server to be publicly accessible for the registration of IP endpoints. Always use eth0 for a single NIC configuration (eth1 is reserved for Avaya service technicians).

AE Services recommends a single NIC configuration for connectivity to S8300D and S8300E Communication Manager media servers.
