Figure 19: S8700 Multi-Connect in a high reliability configuration
Figure notes:
1. The Administration PC is used to access
the S8700 series Media Server over the
corporate data network.
2. Corporate IP network.
3. Corporate IP network interface. The
Ethernet 4 link from the S8700 Media
Server to the data network.
4. Two S8700 Media Servers are always
present. One server is in active mode,
and the other server is on standby.
5. Duplication interface, default Ethernet 2.
The dedicated Ethernet connection
between the S8700 Media Servers.
6. Services interface, default Ethernet 1. The
server's dedicated Ethernet connection
from the S8700 Media Server to a laptop
computer (active only during on-site
administration or on-site maintenance).
1. The Ethernet connection to the corporate network in this figure is a nondedicated network. IP addresses for
the various components of the S8700 Multi-Connect Media Server must be administered to prevent conflicts
with other equipment that shares the network. In the default S8700 Multi-Connect configuration, all other
Ethernet connections operate on their own closed LANs.

7. Network control A interface, default Ethernet 0. The
server's Ethernet connection to one or two
Ethernet switches. This Ethernet link carries the
control signals for the S8700 Multi-Connect PNs.
8. Network control B interface, default Ethernet 3. The
server's Ethernet connection to one or two
1
Ethernet switches. This Ethernet link carries the
control signals for the S8700 Multi-Connect PNs.
9. Ethernet switches. If many PNs are present, two
Ethernet switches can be daisy-chained together to
provide sufficient Ethernet connections to the IPSI
boards in the PNs.
10. Duplicated UPSs. Keeps the S8700 Media Servers
and the Ethernet switches functional during brief
power outages.
11. Port Networks. Provides the telecommunications
functions of the S8700 Multi-Connect Media Server.
12. Duplicated IPSI circuit packs
