About Media Gateways

In a new installation, the Avaya S8500 Media Server works with only the Avaya G650 Media
Gateway.
In a migration the media server works with the following Avaya Media Gateways:
MCC1
●
SCC1
●
G600
●
CMC1
●
In addition, the media servers work with Avaya G150, G250, G350, and G700 Media Gateways.
These gateways register with the S8400 either through the S8400 Processor Ethernet interface
or through a TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack.
If an S8500 Media Server, these media gateways can be endpoints using a Processor Ethernet
interface.
Media gateways usually are installed in the same equipment room as the media server rack
hardware (control network). However, the media gateways can be installed in another location,
including another state or country.

About Processor Ethernet

Like a C-LAN board, Processor Ethernet provides connectivity to IP endpoints, gateways, and
adjuncts. The PE interface is a logical connection in the Communication Manager software that
uses a port on the NIC in the server. There is no additional hardware needed to implement PE.
Starting with release 3.1 of Communication Manager, the PE interface is enabled on the S8500
Media Server allowing enhanced flexibility for connectivity to gateways, endpoints, and
adjuncts.
