Required Avaya communication server circuit packs

This section provides information and documentation resources for the circuit packs
required by your Avaya communication server to support the Telecommuter, IP Telephone,
Avaya Telephone, and Road Warrior configurations with Avaya IP Agent.
The following two circuit packs are used for remote agent connections over TCP/IP with
Avaya IP Agent:

C-LAN circuit pack
C-LAN is a packet port circuit pack for Avaya communication servers that provides TCP/IP
connectivity to adjuncts for applications. It has one 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet
connection and up to 16 DS0 physical interfaces for PPP connections. Two integrated
modems provide remote PPP connectivity over analog facilities. Multiple C-LAN circuit
packs can be added to a system to increase TCP/IP capacity.
This circuit pack provides data signaling over TCP/IP for Avaya IP Agent. It is used for the
Telecommuter, IP Telephone, Avaya Telephone, and Road Warrior configurations where a
data connection is made to the Avaya communication server. The voice path does not use
this circuit pack.

Note:
IP Media Processor
The IP Media Processor provides the transmission of voice data over an IP network. This
enables support of applications that comply with H.323-v2 protocols. It also reduces
per-port costs and improves quality through its dynamic jitter buffers. Additionally, it

Avaya recommends that the TN799C V4 or later C-LAN circuit pack is used
for its increased ability to handle maximum capacities. Previous versions
could encounter difficulties when the maximum number of active endpoints
is reached.
