Modem options

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

modems themselves.

In a new installation, the S8700-series media servers work with only the Avaya G650 Media

Gateway.

In a migration, the S8700-series media servers work with Avaya MCC1 and SCC1 Media

Gateways in a fiber-PNC configuration and G600 or CMC1 Media Gateways in an IP-PNC

configuration.

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

These gateways register with the media server either through the Processor Ethernet interface

or through a TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack.

Media gateways usually are installed in the same equipment room as the media server rack

hardware or control network. However, you can install the media gateways in another location,

including another state or country.

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

S8700-Series Media Server to allow enhanced flexibility to connect to gateways, endpoints, and

adjuncts.

The PE interface is always enabled on an S8700-series media server pair for registration by an

ESS or an LSP. However, the PE interface is not supported on duplex servers for registration by

an H.248 gateway, H.323 endpoints, or adjuncts.
