Media Servers; S8300 Media Server; Local Survivable Processor (Lsp); S8700 Media Server - Avaya G700 Installation And Upgrades

2 Installing Hardware for the G700 Media Gateway and S8300 Media Server: Getting Started

Media Servers

Each G700 is associated with a primary call controller. The primary controller may be either the S8300
Media Server or the S8700 Media Server. The S8300 is on a circuit pack that is always installed in slot V1
of a G700. The S8700 is housed in a separate box that connects to the G700 over a network through a C-
LAN circuit pack. Both media servers can support multiple G700s.
The S8300 Media Servers can be configured as either a primary server or a Local Survivable Processors
(LSP). The G700 with a media server supports the entire range of adjuncts and peripheral equipment
supported by Communication Manager.

S8300 Media Server

The S8300 Media Server is an Intel processor complex that mounts in the first media module slot (V1) of
the G700 Media Gateway. The S8300 Media Server has:
• Avaya™ Communication Manager (For a full description see: http://www.avaya.com/support)
• Administration and maintenance provisioning software
• 20 G hard drive
• 256 MB RAM
• Web server
• Linux OS (Redhat)
• Support of H.248 and H.323 Protocols
• TFTP server and other IP services

Local Survivable Processor (LSP)

The S8300 Media Server can act as a survivable call-processing server for remote or branch customer
locations. As an LSP, the S8300 Media Server carries a complete set of Communication Manager
features, and its license file allows it to function as a survivable call processor. If the link between the
remote G700 Media Gateways and the primary controller is broken, those telephones and G700s that
are designated to receive backup service from the LSP will register with the LSP. The LSP will
provide control to those registered devices in a license error mode (see Hardware Guide for Avaya™
Communication Manager).

S8700 Media Server

The G700 Media Gateway can be controlled by an external S8700 Media Server (sometimes referred
to as an ECC configuration). Both the S8700 with the G600 Media Gateway (IP Connect) and the
