Media Servers Supporting The G700 Media Gateway; What Is The S8300 Media Server - Avaya G700 Installation Manual

Media servers supporting the G700 media gateway

Each G700 is associated with a primary call controller. The primary controller may be an S8300,
S8500, or S8700/S8710 Media Server. The S8300 is on a circuit pack that is always installed in
slot V1 of a G700. The S8500 or S8700/S8710 is housed in a separate box that connects to the
G700 over a network through a C-LAN circuit pack. Both media servers can support multiple
G700s.
The S8300 Media Servers can be configured as either a primary server or a Local Survivable
Processors (LSP). The G700 with a media server supports the entire range of adjuncts and
peripheral equipment supported by Communication Manager.
