Avaya Application Solutions platforms
The G350's internal router enables you to connect directly to an outside WAN, without needing
additional routing equipment.
The G350 provides telephone services through an Avaya media server, such as the S8300. The
media server controls the routing of voice traffic through the G350. The media server can be
either internal (S8300) or external (S8700, S8500, or S8300). The media server runs Avaya
Communication Manager software.
Pluggable media modules provide interfaces for many types of telephones and trunks. This
allows you to incorporate legacy end point devices such as analog and digital telephones.
The G350 can be managed through the Avaya G350 Command Line Interface, the G350
Device Manager graphic user interface, or the centralized Avaya Integrated Management
application.
G350 Configurations
The G350 is a modular device with multiple configuration possibilities to meet specific individual
needs. Six slots in the G350 chassis house various media modules, providing connections for
different telephones, telephone trunks, data devices, and data lines.
Media server configuration options for the G350 include:
Standalone. In this configuration, one media module slot houses the S8300 internal Media
Server, which runs the call control applications for the G350. The remaining slots house a
customized selection of media modules, which connect to circuit-switched phones, trunks,
and data devices. This configuration is capable of supporting up to 40 stations (maximum
of 26 legacy Analog/DCP stations) and 35 trunks, including both circuit-switched and
IP-switched endpoints.
Media Gateway. In this configuration, there is no internal media server. The G350 is
dependent on a separate controller. This may be an external standalone media server
such as the S8500 or S8700 or the S8300 housed in a separate media gateway. All six
media module slots are available to house a customized selection of media modules.
Survivable. In this configuration, an external media server provides primary controlling
service to the G350. The S8300 populates one of the module slots as a backup controller
and functions in Local Survivable Processor (LSP) mode. If the external media server
stops serving the G350, the S8300 takes over the service. As for standalone configuration,
the remaining slots house a customized selection of media modules.
Each G350 should deploy as a single unit at a remote location. Multiple G350s may be
deployed in many remote branches of a large organization. Large branches or main offices
requiring more capacity than a single G350 should deploy one or more Avaya G700 Media
Gateways. In addition to media gateway functions similar to those of G700, the G350 can
optionally provide integrated power-over-Ethernet and WAN routing functions through media
modules.
The G350 now supports up to 10 concurrent call center agents. Customers requiring more call
center agents in a small branch office should consider the G700 media gateway.
