Providing Telecommunications Security

Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and/or video
communications) is the prevention of any type of intrusion to (that is,
either unauthorized or m al ic io us access to or use of) your company's
telecommunications equipment by some party.

Your company's “t elecommunicatio n s equipment” includes both this
Avaya product and any other voice/data/video equipment that could be
accessed via this Avaya product (that is, “networked equipment”).

An “outside party” is an yone who is not a corporate employee, agent,
subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf. Whereas, a
“malicious party” is anyone (in cl udi ng someone who may be
otherwise authorized) who accesses your telecommunications
equipment with eit her malicious or mischievous i n te nt .

Such intrusions may be either to/throu gh sync hronous (time­multiplexed and/or circ uit -ba sed) or asynchronous (character-,
message-, or packet-based) equi pm ent or interfaces for reasons of:

• Utilization (of capabilities special to the accessed equipment)

• Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets, or toll
facility acces s )

• Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)

• Mischief (troubling, but a ppa re ntl y in noc uous, tampering)

• Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration,
regardless of motive or intent)

. If you are:

.

Be aware that there may be a ri sk of unauthorized intrusions
associated with your syste m a nd/ or it s net w orked equipment. Also
realize tha t, if such an intru s ion should occ u r, it could result in a
variety of losses to your company (including but not limit ed to,
human/data privacy, intellectual property, material assets, financial
resources, labor costs, and/or legal costs).

switched network when:

• answered by the called station,

• answered by the attendant, or

• routed to a recorde d an n ou ncement that can be admin i stered by

the customer premises equipment (CPE) user.

This equipment returns answer-supervision signals on all direct
inward dialed (DID) calls forwarded back to the public switched
telephone network. Permissi bl e exceptions are:

• A call is unanswered.

• A busy tone is received.

• A reorder tone is rece ived.

Avaya attests that this registered equipment is capabl e of providing

• Installing Release 2.0 of Avaya Communication Manager.

• Configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA).

• Configuring the media server.

• Customizing the media server (Avaya Communication Manager translations).

• Installing the media gateways.

• Cabling the media gateways.

• Connecting the media gateways to the media server complex.

• Connecting to the customer’s network (media servers, C-LAN, VAL, and so forth).

• Installing and wiring telephones and trunks.

• Completing the installation administration (clear alarms, enable alarm reporting, backup

translation, and so forth).

• Testing the complete installation.

The high level stages, as presented above, represent the order they are presented here. The order can be
changed to accommodate local practice or requirements.

Installing the media server complex

You can complete this stage in parallel with the installation of the media gateways. However, we
recommend that you complete this step first as it is prerequisite to many of the other stages.

Installing Release 2.0 of Avaya Communication Manager

The media server is shipped with a blank hard disk. The operating system, directories, and files needed
for the media server are installed from a bootable CD containing the operating system and
Communication Manager. This stage must be done immediately after installing the media server
hardware.

Configuring the Remote Supervisor Adapter

The Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) monitors various components and environmentals on the media
server. The RSA comes installed from the factory with Avaya defaults but must be configured to fit your
specific installation. You administer the RSA through its own Web interface. You set the IP address for
the RSA through the media server Maintenance Web Interface.

30 Installing the Avaya S8500 Media Server with an Avaya G650 Media Gateway

December 2003

Configuring the media server

Use the Avaya Installation Wizard to configure the media server. You will need to have the completed
Electronic Pr einstallation W o rksheet (EPW) that provides the cus tomer’s network in formation n eeded for
configuring network components.

Customizing the media server

This stage depends on the install and configure media server complex stage. It could be put off until later
in the installation process. However, verifying success for some stages (connecting to the customers
network, installing phones, connecting the media gateway to server ) r equir es that Avaya Communication
Manager be translated and operational.

Installing the media gateways

You can do this stage in parallel with installing and configuring the serv er com plex. The media gateways
must be installed and powered up to effectively complete many of the other stages.

High level overview of installation process

Cabling the media gateways

This stage is the physical cabling of the media gateways to the main distribution frame and patch panels.
This stage generally follows installing the media gateways and is a prerequisite to installing traditional
telephones.

Connecting the media gateways

This stage connects the media gateways to the server complex via Ethernet cables. IP Server Interface
(IPSI) circuit packs are programmed during this stage. This stage depends on the server complex being
operational.

Connecting to the customer’s network

Y o u can do this stage anytime, but to allow testing along the way it should come after the media gateways
are cabled and connected to the media server complex.

Installing and wiring telephones

This stage, in most cases, requ ires that the configuratio n be o perational and respon sive so you can test the
phones as they are wired and placed. Of course, ther e may be variations. IP tele phones that are con nected
to the customer’s network could be placed well before completing the installation. When wiring is being
installed for traditional telephones and consoles (analog and/or digital), make every eff ort to place the
phones when they can be tested.

High level overview of installation process

Completing the installation

This stage is finishing up the installation. Clearing alarms, enabling alarm reporting, backing up the
servers, hooking up the modems (if used) and registering the configuration. This stage will always come
at the end of the actual installation.

Testing the complete installation

This stage verifies the complete configuration operation and is always the last thing you do.

Downloading license and Avaya authentication files

Downloading license and Avaya authentication files

This section covers the following information:

• RFA information requirements for new installations

• Going to the RFA Web site

You need a license file when:

• Installing a new system

• Upgrading a system to a major release of Communication Manager

• Adding new features to an existing system

Use the Remote Feature Activation (RFA) to obtain the license and Avaya authentication files. RFA is a
Web-based application, available to Avaya employees and authorized Business Partners, that enables the
creation and deployment of license files for all media server configurations. The license file enables the
software category , release, features, and capacities. License files are created u sing SAP order information
and/or current customer configuration information.

Without a valid license installed or a mismatched license:

• The system generates a major alarm.

• Depending upon the nature of the error, a 10-day countdown timer starts, but call processing

continues uninterrupted.

• If the countdown timer expires, the switch enters No License Mode and generates another major

alarm.

Once the A v aya authentication files are installed, A vaya ser vices logins to the media server are protected
by a challenge/response system called Access Security Gateway (ASG). The ASG challenge/response
protocol confirms the validity of each user, reducing the opportunity for unauthorized access.

When finished installing the authentication file, Communication Manag e r wil l have a pass word for the
craft login. This password is uniqu e to the cus tomer’ s ser ver. You can use the password t he next time you
log in as craft, provided you access the media server through the services port. You do not need an ASG
challenge/response to log in this way, even though every other means of craft access will still require an
ASG challenge/response. The revised password is recorded by RFA and can be obtained from ASG
Conversant at 1-800-248-1234 or 1-720-444-5557.

Before starting the installation or, ideally, before arriving on site, the license and Avaya authentication
files may be downloaded to the services laptop. The license and Avaya authentication files are installed
during the installation process.

NOTE:

T o access the RFA application, you must take the RFA online training and pass the online
test.

Connecting the modems

NOTE:

USB and serial modems cannot connect to rotary lines. A TouchTone line is required.

There are two modems on an Avaya S8500 Media Server configuration. One modem connects to the USB
port on the front of the Avaya S8500 Media Server. The other modem connects to the RS232 port on the
RSA card.

Required options on the USB modem is set by the operating system on the media server. Required
options on the RSA modem are set by Avaya defaults on the RSA board. There are no options to set on
either modem.

The modems for the media server and the RSA share one dedicated telephone line. The modem on the
Avaya S8500 Media Server always answers an incoming call if the media server is healthy. In the event
the media server is down, the modem on the RSA answers the incoming call. See Figure 10, Modem

connectivity on the Avaya S8500 Media Server, on page 50 for modem connectivity on the Avaya S8500

Media Server.

Configuring the SNMP modules in the uninterruptible power supplies

Configuring the SNMP modules in the uninterrupti bl e
power supplies

NOTE:

These instruction apply only if using a new, Avaya-supplied uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) with an simple network management protocol (SNMP) module. Do not use these
procedures to set traps on a non-Avaya-provided UPS.

The SNMP module in the UPS must be administered so it can report alarms to the appropriate media
server when the hardware experiences problems. The module reports the loss of commercial power
and/or the depletion of battery resources.

Each UPS’s SNMP module requires a unique IP address, which can be a customer-provided one or the
Avaya-provided default one. At a minimum, the following items need to be configured:

• IP address

• Default gateway IP address

• Subnet mask

• Community name strings (get, set, trap)

NOTE:

For the SNMP modules to properly report alarms, the IP addresses for the UPSs must also
be configured in the media servers.

See Setting selected traps (alarming)

on page 86 for information on which traps to set.

NOTE:

Because the SNMP module is manufactured by a third party, we do not know which
brand, model, or firmware load the factory is shipping. Therefore, we can not provide
specific instructions in this document on how to configure the SNMP module.

See the local configuration section of the User’s Guide that comes with the SNMP module for the default
password and the configur ation commands.

Use the following general procedures to administer the SNMP modules:

1 Make sure the UPS is plugged into a nonswitched electrical outlet.
2 Connect the services laptop computer (RS-232 serial port) to the DB-9 connector on the back of

the SNMP module for UPS 1 using the DB-9 to DB-9 serial cable supplied with the SNMP
module.

NOTE:

Avaya Terminal Emulation and HyperTerminal are supported terminal emulation
applications. Terranova is not supported.

3 On the services laptop open a VT-100 terminal emulation session using an application such as

Avaya Native Configuration Manager.

4 Administer the terminal emulation port settings:

• 9600 baud

• No parity

84 Installing the Avaya S8500 Media Server with an Avaya G650 Media Gateway

December 2003

Configuring the SNMP modules in the uninterruptible power supplies

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No flow control
5 Follow the instructions in User’s Guide.
6 Set the following parameters:

• IP address and subnet mask of the UPS. (defaults are 198.152.254.239, 255.255.255.0.)

•

•

•

IP address of the trap receiver. (default is 198.152.254.200)

• Default Gateway address of the UPS is 198.152.254.201.

NOTE:

If a Network Management System (NMS) is going to monitor the UPS units, coordinate
the assignment of community names with the network administrator (see the filled-out
Electronic Preinstallation Worksheet). If an NMS is not going to monitor the UPSs, set the
community names to unique string values.

• SNMP community string for Get, Set, and Trap.

SECURITY ALERT

The Get and Set, community name strings are generally configured with default values of Public and
Private, respectively. These community name strings function as passwords for their respective SNMP

operation. It is always a good idea to change these community name strings to something other than the
default values. If a Network Management Station is in operation on the network, whatever these values
are changed to must be coordinated with its administrator. If the defaults are left administered this could
create a serious security issue. For example, the default Set community name string, with it’s widely
known value of Private, could be used to shutdown power to the UPS loads via SNMP message.

7 When completed, disconnect the services laptop computer from the UPS.
8 Connect one end of a CAT5 cable to the RJ45 connector on the UPS’s SNMP module and the

other end to the next available port on the Ethernet switch for the control network.

Simplex reliability configurations

For simplex reliability configurations use the following address and cable connection information :

• UPS IP address / Subnet mask = 198.152.255.238 / 255.255.255.0

• Default Gateway IP address = 198.152.254.202

• Host Table trap receiver IP address = 198.152.254.202

• Local network administrator supplied information as required for Get and Set community name

strings.

The default is to set all traps, which may result in large log entries. Therefore, only set the following
traps. See the User’s Guide that comes with the SNMP module for the menus and commands for setting
these traps.

• UPS on Battery—Indicates AC fail with pending shutdown based on battery reserve available

• UPS in Bypass—Failure either Failed UPS or overload

• Replace battery—Failure of periodic (28 -day ) battery test ind icating b atter y n eeds to be replaced.

Configuring the SNMP subagent in the A vaya Ethernet
switch (if used)

NOTE:

These instruction apply only if using a new, Avaya-supplied Avaya Ethernet switch. Do
not use these procedures to set traps on a non-Avaya-provided Ethernet switch.

The simple network management protocol (SNMP) subagent in the Avaya Ethernet switch must be
administered so it can report alarms to the media server when the hardware experiences problems.

Each Avaya Ethernet switch requires a unique IP address, which can be a customer-provided one or the
Avaya-provided default one. At a minimum, the following items need to be configured:

• IP address

• Subnet mask

• Trap receiver IP address

• Community string (get, set, trap)

NOTE:

For the Ethernet switch to properly report alarms, the IP address(es) for the Ethernet
switch(es) must also be configured in the media servers.

See the Basic Configuration section of the Quick Start Guide and the documentation CD that comes with
the Ethernet switch for the default user ID, password, and configuration commands.

Use the following general procedures to administer the Ethernet switch(es):

1 Plug the Ethernet switch power cord into the back of the switch and the back of a UPS.

• For Simplex reliability—connect Ethernet switch 1 for Control Network A (CNA) into

UPS 1

2 Connect the services lap top computer (R S-232 serial port) to the port lab eled Conso le on the front

of Ethernet switch 1 (CNA) using the flat cable supplied with the Avaya Ethernet switch.

3 On the services laptop open a VT-100 terminal emulation session using an application such as

Avaya Native Configuration Manager.

4 Administer the terminal emulation port settings:

• 9600 baud

• No parity

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit
5 Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide
6 Set the following parameters:

• IP address and subnet mask of the Ethernet switch (defaults are 198.152.254.240,

255.255.0.0.)

• IP address of the trap receiver. (default is 198.152.254.200)

• SNMP community string for Get, Set, and Trap. (See the chapter on SNMP commands on

the documentation CD that comes with the Avaya Ethernet switch.)

Installing the media gateways

Floor plans and equipment layouts for typical media gateway installations are provided in the Overview
section of the documentation library.

Media gateways typically are installed in the same equipment room as the media server rack hardware
(control network); however, they can be installed in another location, including another state or country.

NOTE:

Before you begin the media gateway installation, check the location of the AC/DC power
receptacles. The receptacles must be on separately fused circuits not controlled by wall
switches. They must be located within 10 feet (3 met ers) of the medi a gateway and outside
the main distribution frame (MDF) area.

NOTE:

For convenience, we recommend installing the reference IPSI, the one associated with the
license file, in a port network in the same room as the control network hardware.

Before installing the media gateways, you must check to make sure you have all the required equipment
and are aware of warnings when working around sources of power. Perform these tasks to install the
media gateway:

• Checking and inspecting the order on page 96

• Connecting AC power and ground on page 99.

• Installing the G650 Media Gateway on page 100

• Cabling the G650 Media Gateways on page 121

Connecting AC power and ground

When installing media gateways, be aware of the following warnings and cautions.

!

WARNING:

The equipment room alternating current (AC) power and ground wiring must be performed by a
qualified electrician. The AC power circuit must be d edicated to the system. The circu it must not be
shared with other equipment and must not be controlled by a wall switch. The AC receptacle must
not be located under the main distribution frame and must be easily accessible.

CAUTION:

Media gateway grounding must comply with the general rules for grounding contained in
Article 250 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), National Fire Protection Agency
(NFPA) 70, or the applicable electric code in the country of installation. For more
information, see the job aid titled Approved Grounds

DANGER:

The latch on the power supply does not remove power from the G650 Media
Gateway. To remove the AC power from the 655A, pull the AC power cord from the
back of the G650 Media Gateway. If there are redundant power supplies, you need to
pull both AC power cords from the back of the G650 Media Gateway. To remove DC
power, first locate and switch the DC circuit breaker to the "off" position and then
disconnect the DC power feed at the back of the G650 Media Gateway.

WARNING:

With an G650 Media Gateway if other equipment is installed in the same rack, make sure that the
media gateway does not generate an overcurrent or overload condition. Verify that the customer’s
branch circuit and/or power distribution strip are ad equate with respect to over load and ov ercurrent
protection.
