G700 Media module description
(For S8300 Media Servers) The four slots on the G700 Media Gateway are populated with media
modules according to the needs at your site. Up to four slots may be filled as follows:
•
The S8300 Media Server is a special type of media module that hosts the call-processing
(telephony) software. If present, the S8300 is installed in slot one (V1); only one can be installed
per media gateway. The S8300 can act as a primary call controller for the system, or one or more
S8300s can be configured to provide standby service for a primary call controller if needed. See
Local Survivable Processor configuration
•
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) The other media module slots are filled as needed to meet
the call-processing needs at your site. Media modules can be mixed and matched.

Local Survivable Processor configuration
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) An S8300 Media Server can be configured either as the primary
call-processing controller, or as a Local Survivable Processor (LSP). An LSP can take over call
processing if the primary call-processing system (such as another S8300 Media Server or an S8700
Media Server) is unavailable for any reason (such as a network failure or server problem). The S8300
Media Servers can be either the primary or LSP media servers; they are set up to operate as a primary or
standby LSP server during the configuration process using the S8300 Media Server Web Interface. The
license file determines the mode that the S8300 Media Server runs in and the Configure Server web page
provides supplementary instruction.
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) If the S8300 Media Server loses contact with its G700 Media
Gateway, it will take the media gateway out of service after a time-out period. However, if the G700 loses
contact with the S8300 Media Server, the media gateway first tries to reestablish contact. If it fails after a
time-out period, then the G700 tries to connect with another media server in its controller list. When a
functional media server is located, the G700 reboots.
