Floor plans and equipment layouts for typical media gateway installations are provided in the
Overview section of the "Avaya S8700 Media Server with MCC1 or SCC1 Media Gateway" or
"Avaya S8700 Media Server with G600 Media Gateway" on the Avaya™ S8300 and Avaya™
S8700 Media Server Library CD.
Media gateways are typically installed in the same equipment room as the Avaya S8700 Media
Server rack hardware (control network); however, they can be installed in another location,
including another state or country.
An MCC1 media gateway may contain from 1 to 5 port networks (PNs).
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.
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.
