G700 hardware architecture
The design of the Media Gateway motherboard hardware brings together a multitude of
hardware functions into a single 2U 19-inch rack-mountable enclosure. Integrated on the
motherboard are:
A gateway function that bridges the IP and telephony domains
An Ethernet switching function and associated management features through an
integrated Layer 2 switch architecture
Processing elements that are necessary to support traditional telephony interfaces, such
as trunks and analog/DCP lines
These processing elements are controlled by Communication Manager, thus offering the
complete set of Communication Manager call features to both IP users and traditional telephony
users.
From a hardware perspective, the G700 Media Gateway is an enclosure with an internal power
supply and a motherboard. This design that provides the hardware resources for the Gateway
functions, and electrical connectivity for four media modules, one Cascade module, and one
Expansion module. Designed to resemble the P330, the enclosure houses the power supply
and the motherboard, and provides the physical support to allow the insertion of the various
modules.
