2 Installing Hardware for the G700 Media Gateway and S8300 Media Server: Getting Started

Getting Started

This section describes the components of a G700 Media Gateway and an S8300 Media Server.

G700 Media Gateway

The Media Gateway elements are: (1) the Avaya
Media Modules, and (3) the Avaya

G700 Media Gateway Chassis and Processors

The G700 Media Gateway chassis is a 19-inch, 2u rack-mountable unit modeled after the Avaya
P330 stackable switching products. A partial list of technical specifications of the G700 appears in
Appendix A.
The G700 has three internal processors:
• P330 stack processor (also known as Layer 2 switching processor)
• Media gateway processor (MGP)
• Voice over IP (VoIP) processor

Media Modules

Media modules are optional, plug-in circuit assemblies. They provide traditional interfacing of
service provider network access solutions (such as T1/E1) and connections to TDM-based endpoints
(such as DCP digital phones and analog phones). The available media modules are (as shown in
Figure 2):
