Connect Duplication Cables

Connect Duplication Cables
How you connect the duplication cables depends on whether the media servers are installed in
the same room or in separate locations. The S8700 Media Servers can be located up to 6 miles
(10 kilometers) apart.

Collocated media servers

Connect the crossover CAT5 cable and fiber optic cable between the 2 media servers. For a
connectivity guide, refer to
Avaya™ G600 Media

Separated media servers

When S8700 media servers are located greater than 100 meters but less than 10 kilometers apart
they are considered to be separated. The connectivity for this arrangement will be custom
engineered. For an overview of separated servers and Center Stage Switch, please see the job
