Avaya Communication Manager

Avaya Media Gateways support voice traffic and signaling traffic that is routed between circuit-switched networks and packet-switched networks. The Gateways support all the applications and adjuncts that can be used with the Avaya DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Servers (DEFINITY ECS). These Gateways work with standards-based data networks and easily connect with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

Communication Manager is extensible to IP, digital and analog telephones, and wireless business solutions. Avaya Communication Devices work with the full feature set of Communication Manager to help enterprises be more productive by providing anytime, anywhere access to maximize business continuity.

Avaya Communication Manager

Avaya Communication Manager provides user and system management functionality, intelligent call routing, application integration and extensibility, and enterprise communications networking. Communication Manager operates on Avaya servers, and on the existing family of DEFINITY servers. For more information on the Avaya Application Solutions related features of Communication Manager, see Call processing on page 125.

Avaya servers

An Avaya server provides centralized, enterprise-class call processing. This call processing can be distributed across a multi-protocol network (including IP) to support a highly diversified network architecture that consists of headquarters, branch, remote, small, and home offices.

Linux-based servers

The Avaya S8300, S8400, S8500, S8700-series, and SES-SIP are Linux-based servers. These servers support:

●Distributed IP Networking and centralized call processing across multi-service networks

●Dual server design with hot fail-over (S8700-series Server only)

●Redundant LAN Interfaces and remote survivable call processing

For more information on the architecture and the functionality of the servers, see Hardware Description and Reference for Avaya Communication Manager, 555-245-207.

Avaya DEFINITY Servers

Avaya Communication Manager also runs on the following DEFINITY Servers, which can be IP-enabled:
