Site B had an Avaya S8300 Communication Manager Server in an Avaya G450 Media Gateway. The FaxFinder server at this site communicated with Session Manager via SIP. On the Avaya G450 Media Gateway, the signaling and media resources supporting a SIP trunk connected to Session Manager were integrated directly on the media gateway processor. Endpoints at this site included Avaya 9600 Series IP Telephones (with H.323 and SIP firmware), and an analog fax machine.

The IP telephones were not involved in the faxing operations, they were present in the configuration to verify that VoIP telephone calls did not interfere with FoIP faxing operations.

Outbound fax calls originating from FaxFinder were sent to Session Manager first, then to Communication Manager, via the configured SIP trunks. Based on the dialed digits, Communication Manager directed the calls to the local fax machine, or the inter-site trunks (ISDN-PRI or SIP) to reach the remote site. Inbound fax calls to FaxFinder were first received by Communication Manager from the local fax machine or from across either ISDN-PRI or SIP trunks connected to the remote Site. Communication Manager then directed the calls to FaxFinder via the configured Session Manager SIP trunks.
