2 Installing Hardware for the G700 Media Gateway and S8300 Media Server: Installation and Cabling

Installation and Cabling

The Avaya TM G700 Media Gateways can be installed in a variety of configurations:
• as a standalone unit with one G700
• with multiple G700 Media Gateways in a stack
• in combinations of Media Gateways and Avaya P330 family devices.
Up to ten G700 Media Gateways and/or Avaya P330s devices can be combined in a single stack.
The G700s can be controlled by an Avaya™ S8300 Media Server or an Avaya™ S8700 Media Server.
In a typical installation, you will arrive at the site equipped with all the tools and information needed to
install a G700 and, possibly, an S8300. You will complete the following procedures:
