Avaya 7 manual LAN circuit pack, IP Media Processor

Chapter 2: Configuring the Avaya communication server

The following two circuit packs are used for remote agent connections over TCP/IP with Avaya IP Agent:

●Control LAN Circuit Pack (C-LAN) (TN799B or later)

●IP Media Processor

This section contains the following topics:

C-LAN circuit pack

C-LAN is a packet port circuit pack for Avaya communication servers that provides TCP/IP connectivity to adjuncts for applications. It has one 10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet connection and up to 16 DS0 physical interfaces for PPP connections. Two integrated modems provide remote PPP connectivity over analog facilities. Multiple C-LAN circuit packs can be added to a system to increase TCP/IP capacity.

This circuit pack provides data signaling over TCP/IP for Avaya IP Agent. It is used for configurations where a data connection is made to the Avaya communication server. The voice path does not use this circuit pack.

Note:

Avaya recommends that the TN799C V4 or later C-LAN circuit pack is used for its increased ability to handle maximum capacities. Previous versions could encounter difficulties when the maximum number of active endpoints is reached.

IP Media Processor

The IP Media Processor provides the transmission of voice data over an IP network. This enables support of applications that comply with H.323-v2 protocols. It also reduces per-port costs and improves quality through its dynamic jitter buffers. Additionally, it performs echo cancellation, silence suppression, Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) detection, and conferencing.

This circuit pack provides Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) that is used where a VoIP connection is made to the Avaya communication server.
