Manual installation of a new G700 with an S8300
538 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
Configuring the primary server to report alarms to a services
support agency
The primary server may be an S8300, S8400, S8500, or S8700/S8710/S8720 Media Server.
The media server supports two methods for reporting alarms. Either, both, or no alarm-reporting
method may be used at a given site.
● OSS Method.
The server's software applications and hardware devices under its control can generate
Operations Support System (OSS) alarms. These alarms are recorded in the server logs,
and may be reported to Avaya's Initialization and Administration System (INADS), or
another services support agency over the server's modem interface.
To provide OSS alarm notification, the server requires a USB connection to a modem that is
connected to an analog line. The modem must be configured using the media server’s Web
Interface, in the Set Modem Interface screen, and enabled to send and receive calls using
the Enable/Disable Modem screen.
Note:
Note:
Configuration of the OSS alarming method can only be done using Linux shell
commands.
● SNMP Method
SNMP traps may be sent in User Datagram Protocol (UDP) to a corporate network
management system (NMS) using the Configure Trap Destinations screen on the media
server’s Web Interface. The OSS and SNMP alarm-notification methods operate
independently of each other; either or both may be used. Currently, the following NMSs are
supported:
- Avaya Fault and Performance Manager, as a standalone application, or integrated within
Avaya Network Management Console with VoIP SystemView
- Avaya Network Management Console with VoIP SystemView
- HP Openview
To provide SNMP alarm notification, on the server Web Interface use the Configure Trap
Destinations screen to set up SNMP destinations in the corporate NMS.
Administering INADS phone numbers and Enabling alarms to INADS
The following procedure, using the primary server’s Linux shell commands, administers the
dial-out modem to send alarms in the OSS method. In this example, the primary server is an
S8300, and the services support agency is Avaya’s Initialization and Administration System
(INADS).
Perform this task after all Communication Manager administration is complete.
