S8700 Media Server
The G700 Media Gateway can be controlled by an external S8700 Media Server (sometimes referred to
as an ECC configuration). Both the S8700 with the G600 Media Gateway (IP Connect) and the 8700 with
the SCC1 or the MCC1 Media Gateways (MultiConnect) can control the G700. The S8700 is connected
to the G700 over the network through a C-LAN circuit pack in the G600, SCC1, or MCC1.
Information on installing the G700 using the S8500 or S8700 as the primary controller can be found in
Chapters 4 and 6 in this book.
Endpoint and Adjunct Components
Additional components and adjunct systems provide sets of tools that allow the customer to obtain the
best possible performance. Other compon ents and adjunct systems that make up the S8300 Media Server
with a G700 Media Gateway include:
•Analog phones and fax machines
•DCP phones
•IP phones
•IP Softphones
•LAN Ethernet switches
•Avaya Integrated Management
•INTUITY AUDIX LX Messaging System
•IA 770 INTUITY AUDIX Messaging Application
•ASAI Co-Resident DEFINITY LAN Gateway (DLG)
•Call Center
•Uninteruptible Power Supply (UPS)
•Universal Serial Bus (USB) Modems
See "Chapter 8, “Connecting Telephones and Adjunct Systems” or Avaya Communication Manager,
Avaya DEFINITY®Servers, and Avaya S8100 Media Server Library CD, 555-245-801, for more
information on installing adjuncts.
Plan the Installation
In the following sections of this installation guide, you will be guided through the installation of several
configurations. Before the G700 components are physically installed on the customer’s site, several steps
will already have been completed to assure that the actual installation will go smoothly:
•Sales personnel have verified that the product is suited to the customer’s application.
•Planning and implementation personnel have conducted preliminary inspections of the site and of
the other equipment to assure that the S8300/G700 solution will operate at its full po tential.
•A data network readiness assessment has been completed to assure that the solution will function
optimally within the customer’s network.
Each of these processes have been documented before the installation. You should verify that you have all
the necessary information before going to the site (see Appendix B, “Information Checklists”).
