The G350 is a modular device with multiple configuration possibilities to meet specific individual needs.
Six slots in the G350 chassis can house a customized selection of media modules, which connect to
different types of circuit switched phones, trunks, and data devices. One of the slots can house an internal
media server. A major configuration choice is which type of media server to deploy. The media server
may be a media module or a standalone device.
The G350 can be deployed in one of two basic working modes:
•
Distributed Avaya Enterprise Connect. In this mode, the G350 is controlled by an external
media server. This may be a standalone media server, such as the S8500 or the S8700, or a
separate media gateway in a standalone configuration. The G350 may also house an S8300 Media
Server module to function as a Local Survivable Processor (LSP), which can take over control of
the G350 if the external media server stops serving the G350.
•
Standalone. In this mode, the G350 is controlled by an internally housed S8300 Media Server
module (ICC).
Multiple G350s may be deployed in many remote branches of a large organization. Large branches or
main offices may deploy an Avaya G700 Media Gateway, which provides similar functionality to the
G350 for a larger number of users. Up to 250 G350 and G700 Media Gateways may be controlled by a
single external S8700 Media Server.
