About modem connections

Note:

You cannot connect USB modems to rotary lines. A touch tone line is required.

Note:

The TN8400AP Server circuit pack supports a USB modem. The modem communicates directly

to the maintenance processor or tunnels through to the Communication Manager processor

application. The modem provides Avaya Services with remote alarming and dial-in and dial-out

access.

Connect the USB modem to the port that is labeled USB on the server cable adapter. The

adapter is mounted on the rear of the TN8400AP Server circuit pack.

You set the modem options when you configure the server. You do not set options on the

modems themselves.

In a new installation, the S8400 Server is installed only in the Avaya G650 Media Gateway.

In a migration, the server is installed only in the following Avaya Media Gateways:

G600

CMC1

The servers also work with Avaya G150, G250, G350, G450 and G700 Media Gateways. These

gateways register with the server either through the Processor Ethernet interface or through a

TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack.

Like a C-LAN circuit pack, 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. No additional hardware is needed to implement PE.

Starting with Release 3.1 of Communication Manager, the PE interface is enabled on the S8400

Server to allow enhanced flexibility to connect to gateways, endpoints, and adjuncts.
