Accessing Communication Manager System Management Interface

Last Updated : Sep 14, 2022 |

About this task

You can access the Communication Manager System Management Interface (SMI) remotely through the corporate LAN connection, or directly from a portable computer connected to the server through the services port.

Note:

If the server is not connected to the network, you must access the SMI directly from a portable computer connected to the server through the services port.

Procedure

  1. Open a compatible web browser.
  2. In your browser, choose one of the following options based on the server configuration:

    • LAN access by IP address

      To log on to the corporate LAN, type the unique IP address of the specific server, or any other Avaya Solutions Platform in the standard dotted-decimal notation, such as http://192.152.254.201.

    • LAN access by host name

      If the corporate LAN includes a domain name service (DNS) server that is administered with the host name, type the host name, such as http://media-server1.mycompany.com.

    • Portable computer access by IP address

      To log on to the services port from a directly connected portable computer, the IP address must be that of the IP address of the Communication Manager server.

  3. Press Enter.
    Note:

    If your browser does not have a valid security certificate, you see a warning with instructions to load the security certificate. If you are certain your connection is secure, accept the server security certificate to access the Logon screen. If you plan to use this computer and browser to access this or other Avaya Solutions Platform S8300 or Avaya Solutions Platform again, click the main menu link to Install Avaya Root Certificate after you log in.

    The system displays the Logon screen.

  4. In the Logon ID field, type your user name.
    Note:

    If you use an Avaya services login that is protected by the Enhanced Access Security Gateway (EASG), you must have an EASG tool to generate a response for the challenge that the Logon page generates.

  5. Click Continue.
  6. Type your password, and click Logon.

    After successful authentication, the system displays the home page of the Communication Manager SMI.
