52 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
The LSP/Gateway Upgrade Tool ships with the server software and is available on the home
page of the media server’s Maintenance Web Interface. For more information, see the Job Aid:
Upgrade Tool and Worksheets.
The Provisioning and Installation Manager
The Provisioning and Installation Manager (PIM) allows you to remotely manage and configure
the following media gateways:
● G250, G250-BRI, G250-DS1, and G250-DCP Media Gateways, for general configuration
and also configuration of Standard Local Survivability (SLS) when an S8300 LSP is not
present
● G350 Media Gateway
You can also use PIM to configure media gateways at a staging center prior to shipping the
gateways to remote locations. This use of PIM enables lower cost configurations with reduced
errors, especially when the PIM templates are used to configure multiple devices
simultaneously.
Note:
Note:
Initially install the media gateway with the GIW so that the media gateway is
added to the LAN/WAN. You can then complete the configuration of the media
gateway with PIM.
You can manage and configure media gateways individually, as groups, or all together. With
PIM, you can save large amounts of configuration time. PIM allows you to do the following:
● Create device templates that media gateways can share
Once you have created and validated a device template, you can apply it to multiple devices
simultaneously. Device templates include hardware data for media modules, including slot
locations, Ethernet port parameters, and other media module parameters for LAN/WAN
media modules.
● Create monitoring templates that the media gateways can share
Once you have created and validated a monitoring template, you can apply it to multiple
devices simultaneously. Monitoring templates include definitions for Quality of Service
(QOS) and Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) data in the Management Information Base
(MIB) and definitions of Converged Network Analyzer (CNA) test plugs for media gateways.
● Create general and DHCP configuration templates that the media gateways can share
Once you have created and validated a configuration template, you can apply it to multiple
devices simultaneously. Templates include configuration data for items such as DHCP
servers, SNMP, RADIUS servers, media gateway controller lists, and routing.
