Processor Ethernet

Networking option of S8700-series Server pair for duplicated and single control networks

For an S8700-series Server pair with direct/CSS/ATM PNC and duplicated control networks, control network A and control network B interfaces are administered as dedicated control networks and connected to duplicated IPSI circuit packs in the fiber-connected PNs. If a remote IP-PNC PN is introduced into the configuration, the S8700-series Server and IP-PNC PN may be administered for a single non-dedicated control network over the customer’s LAN. In this case, a third control network C may be administered on the S8700-series Server. The

S8700-series Server automatically uses its own customer LAN interface port for Control network C.

Although this configuration allows the mixing of dedicated and non-dedicated control networks, it is discouraged. It is recommended that same control network to be configured across a combined IP-PNC and fiber-PNC system.

ESS support for combined IP-PNC and fiber-PNC configurations

Any Enterprise Survivable Server (ESS) can also support a combined IP-PNC and fiber-PNC configuration in the event of failover to the ESS. Both an S8500 and an S87XX-series ESS can support single control and duplicated control networks for both the IP-PNC and fiber-PNC portions of the configuration. However, the ESS can support only those CSS-connected PNs that individually have an IPSI circuit pack and either a TN2302AP IP Media Processor or TN2602AP IP Media Resource 320 circuit pack. This limitation exists because the ESS provides only IP-PNC control and bearer service to PNs.

Processor Ethernet

Processor Ethernet allows IP devices to register to an Avaya server without a need for TN799DP C-LAN boards. Prior to Communication Manager release 3.1, Processor Ethernet was permitted only when using S8300 or Shared Servers (e.g. Hosted IP Telephony). As of release 3.1, Processor Ethernet can also be used with the S8400 and S8500 Servers. Furthermore, as of release 3.1, S8500 can be used as an LSP (Local Survivable Processor).
