Avaya Application Solutions platforms

USB modem - Each S8700-series Server supports a Universal Serial Bus (USB) modem. For customers with an Avaya service contract, the modem is used to send alarms to the Avaya Services organization, and to facilitate maintenance by Avaya Services personnel.

Internal hardware elements

The server has the following specifications:

●512 MB (S8710) or 1 GB (S8720) or 4 GB (S8730) of main memory

●SCSI hard disk for booting Linux and Communication Manager

●Combo DVD/CD-ROM drive for software installations and upgrades

●2 (S8710) or 3 (S8720, S8730) USB ports

●USB Compact Flash card support

Other components

The S8700 in a fiber-PNC solution also includes the following components:

●L2/L3 data network switch or Ethernet switch with duplication option

●One or more IP Server Interface (IPSI) circuit packs (TN2312BP)

●A Center Stage Switch (CSS) or an ATM Switch for bearer connectivity

●One or more MCC1 or SCC1 Media Gateways, also known as port networks (PNs)
