  • Page 458: Installation Overview

    Installation Overview About G700 components A P330 stack processor is built into the G700 Media Gateway. (This processor is also known as the Layer 2 switching processor). The G700 also contains an MGP processor, a VoIP processor, and media modules. Updating the firmware for one or more of these processors and/ or media modules is a required part of most S8300 software upgrades.
  • Page 459: System Access

    Before the P330 stack processor is configured with an IP address, the only way to access it is with a direct connection from your laptop to the services port on the G700. With this connection, you can assign the IP addresses to the G700 processors, which can then be accessed over the customer LAN.
