I am interested in building a home lab to learn Communication Manager and Voicemail. I am a hobbyist that would like to learn to configure the switch, and few digital phones, analog phones, voip phones, PRI, copper trunks, voicemail, auto attendant, coverage groups, ARS, and more I can't think of right now. I bought a G700 on ebay but it didn't come with an S8300. Does anyone have any tips on my options to build a home lab, with or without this G700?

If you get a s8300d put system platform and cm sp4 on the s8300d both available on the support / plds sites , once your cm is on 6.2 it will run for 30 days will all licences open , configure it take a back up and then after 30 days reset it if you need to administer further , or reload platform and cm and put your back up in .....hey presto a fully licenced kit for not much $$$$$

A normal PC with 4 port NIC (recommend something like and plenty of RAM 16GB.
Gateway there is no way around it other than to get a G430, but that's only if you want trunks (or the phones to register as H323 I need they need the gateway - if its sip they can register direct to the CM).
You can then install VSP 6.2 on this and the embedded, mid-ent templates on there - works great for demos and proof of concepts.

Well that almost worked. You are correct it runs in 30 day grace period, but won't allow administration. I found this note in a Doc and I am guessing that is my problem. So I guess I am back to square one.

What was blocked straight away?
I use this method all the time when prepping customers sites before shipment , with no licence or auth file.
Is it a s8300d with sys platform 6.2.1.0.9 and cm 6.2.823???

I am trying to use the new VMware ova of 6.2 running inside VMware player, so no system platform involved. It seems to boot and services all start. Web mgmt works. I can log into Linux shell. I get an ACCESS DENIED when trying to log into SAT. I can get into the web admin of CM. I read somewhere else too that other people were unable to log into SAT until an auth file was loaded.

Yes I have a default integrated file , is the sat access allowed in the smi "server access " page ?

Hi vortex06,
have you fixed this issue somehow? I have the same problem. I have CM 6.2 running on wmware esxi 5.1 (what's your version?) . You can download authentication file from avaya's site, import it to web SMI. Then you will be able to access SAT, but not with regular craft username/password, you have to use ASG authentication. If you create another user account (eg. cust1) with admin privileges you will be able to access SAT but only in read-only mode (eg. change command is not available).
