Product Summary
The S8300 Media Server and G700 Media Gateway solution seamlessly delivers a business's voice, fax,
and messaging capabilities over an IP network. This unique solution converges the power of the Avaya
MultiVantage TM Software feature set with the power of distributed switching from the Avaya
Stackable Switching System.
An S8300 Media Server and G700 Media Gateway solution is comprised of several elements:
• A G700 Media Gateway is always required. It can host an S8300 Media Server or various other
media modules depending on the telephony needs at a particular location. Key components include
the Avaya
TM
engine on the MGP board.
• The S8300 Media Server is a special type of media module. If present, it supports the MultiVantage
software that provides call-processing capabilities for the system. The S8300 can be configured as
the primary call controller or as a Local Survivable Processor (LSP) standby server for an S8700
Media Server or for another S8300 Media Server in the configuration.
