Installing The Media Gateways - Avaya S8500 Manual

Installing the media gateways

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.
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
•
Connecting AC power and ground
•
Installing the G650 Media Gateway
•
Cabling the G650 Media Gateways
•
Installing an MCC1 Media Gateway
•
Cabling the MCC1 Media Gateways—center stage switch
•
Installing the G350 Media Gateway
•
Installing the G700 Media Gateway
•
Installing patch panels
The Avaya S8500 Media Server works with either a G650, MCC1, SCC1, G600, or CMC1 Media
Gateway. In addition a G700 Media Gateway may be used if one of the other media gateways with a
TN799DP Control-LAN (C-LAN) circuit pack is installed.
This section provides procedures for:
•
Installing the G650 Media Gateway
•
Installing an MCC1 Media Gateway

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 meters) of the media 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.

NOTE:
New installations are provided with only the G650 Media Gateway.
NOTE:
MCC1 Media Gateways are only provided when a center stage switch (CSS) carrier is
required. The MCC1 Media Gateway will contain one port network in the A, B, C, and D
positions and the CSS carrier in the E position. For critical reliability systems, the D
position also may be used for the duplicated (B-PNC) CSS carrier.
