Setting Up The Controller List For The G700 - Avaya G700 Installing Manual

Manual installation of a new G700 without an S8300
To run the ping command
1. At the MG-???-n(config)# prompt, type ping mgp <IP_address>
where <IP_address> is the address of an S8300, S8500, or S8700 Media Server, the VoIP
engine, or any other functioning endpoint accessible on the customer's LAN. It is
recommended to ping endpoints on both the same subnet and a different subnet.
Ping results appear on the screen, similar to the following example.
Ping MGP results
MG-???-1(configure)# ping mgp 135.122.49.55

3. Type ping voip v0 <IP_address>
<IP_address> is the address of the G700, or any other functioning endpoint on the
customer's LAN.

Setting up the controller list for the G700

To complete the configuration of the G700 media gateway, you need to administer a list of
primary and alternate controllers. This list begins with the IP address of the primary controller. In
the event that the G700 media gateway loses contact with its primary controller, it will seek to
re-register with the primary controller first, then with the other controllers on this list. The other
controllers are S8500 or S8700/S8710 media servers that can act as the primary controller, or
S8300 media servers configured as Local Survivable Processors (LSPs).
