Step 2-1 Configuring the OVOC Server (OVOC Server Manager) on AWS

This section describes the required configuration actions on the OVOC server deployed in the AWS Cloud.

Restart the OVOC server where specified in the referenced procedures for changes to take effect.

➢ To configure the OVOC server:
1. Login to the OVOC Server Manager (see Connecting to the OVOC Server Manager).
2. Change the following default passwords:
● acems OS user (see OS Users Passwords)
● root OS user (see OS Users Passwords)

Unless you have made special configurations, the AWS instance is in the public cloud and therefore is accessible over the Internet. Consequently, it is highly recommended to change theses default passwords to minimize exposure to password hacking.

3. Load OVOC license (see License‎).
4. Configure the OVOC server with AWS Public IP address to enable devices deployed behind a NAT to connect to OVOC server (see Configure OVOC Server with NAT IP Address per Interface ). See the setup of the virtual machine Launching Public Image on AWS to find the AWS Public IP.
5. Configure the AWS Public IP address/Domain Name (where OVOC is installed) as the external NTP clock source (see NTP).

The same clock source should be configured on the managed devices (see Step 2-2-2 Configuring Mediant CE Communication Settings Using Web Interface).
