UPS or power backup - The S8700 series Media Servers always require power backup to
avoid power problems, and to ensure graceful shutdown of the system processes if the power
fails. The AS1 700-VA UPS provides approximately 30 minutes of power backup. Combinations
of battery extension modules and a 1500-VA UPS provide up to 8 hours of power backup.
The AS1 UPS units use SNMP traps to send an alarm when power fails. This action initiates a
graceful shutdown process of the Linux server, including the call processing software.
USB modem - Each S8700 series Media Server supports a Universal Serial Bus (USB)
modem. For customers with an Avaya service contract, the modem is used to send alarms to
the Avaya Services organization, and to facilitate maintenance by Avaya Services personnel.
