Avaya G860 Media Gateway Setup
Why the Avaya G860 Media Gateway
The Avaya G860 Media Gateway allows call center customers to consolidate facilities and
reduce communications costs. The media gateway concentrates incoming PSTN traffic over
several DS3 lines while supporting VoIP telephony in the call center itself.
The use of voice over IP (VoIP) and conversion from DS1 to DS3 lines eliminate the large
number of DS1 interfaces required to support the same amount of call traffic. The Avaya G860
Media Gateway supports up to 6000 channels of session IP (SIP) VoIP telephony. It uses N+1
redundancy of media gateway, Ethernet switch, shelf controller, and power supply modules to
achieve high availability in mission critical applications.
In the sample call center configuration shown here, a simulated PSTN delivers customer calls
using a DS3 interface to the Avaya G860 Media Gateway. The media gateway establishes calls
with the Avaya S8720 Media Server via SIP signaling and routes all Real-time Transport
Protocol (RTP) traffic to the appropriate media resources within the Avaya G650 Media
Gateway or Avaya endpoints. Avaya Communication Manager delivers the calls to an agent
phone.
