About Log in Methods
This section describes how to log on to the S8300, S8400, S8500, or S8700/S8710/S8720
media servers using SSH (Secure Shell), Telnet, or the built-in Web Interface and how to start a
SAT session. The last procedure in this section describes logging in to the P330 Stack
Processor when you have a direct serial connection to the G700 Console port.
These procedures assume:
●
You have a crossover cable directly connected from your laptop to the Services port on the
media server, and your laptop is configured for a direct connection.
or,
●
You are connected to the S8300, S8400, S8500, or S8700/S8710S9720 media server
over the customer’s LAN, either remotely or on site.
In this case, your laptop must be configured to connect to the customer’s LAN, and you
would use the LAN IP address of the S8300 instead of 192.11.13.6.
Accessing the server’s command line interface with SSH
To use this procedure with a laptop cable connection to the services port, you must configure

CAUTION:
While a variety of Avaya products support access using SSH, Avaya does not
provide support for third-party clients used for SSH access. Any problems with an
SSH client, including PuTTY, are the responsibility of the user or the SSH client
vendor.
To access the command line interface using SSH and PuTTY, perform the following steps:
1. On your computer, click on the PuTTY desktop link or select Start > Programs > PuTTY >
PuTTY.
The system displays the PuTTY Configuration window, with the Session dialog box open.
2. In the Host Name (or IP address) field, type 192.11.13.6 if connecting to the services
port. Otherwise, for access over the LAN/WAN, type the IP address or the host name of the
server.
3. In the Port field, type 22.
