G700 Media Gateway physical design
(For S8300 or S8700 Series Media Servers) The G700 Media Gateway is a19-inch, rack-mount
design similar to other Avaya P330 hardware. The media gateway can be a member of a P330
stack of Layer 2 or 3 devices, reside in a stack of other media gateways, or operate as a
standalone unit.
