About Modem connections

Note:

USB modems cannot connect to rotary lines. A Touch Tone line is required.

The TN8400AP Media Server circuit pack supports a USB modem. The modem communicates directly to the maintenance processor or tunnels through to the Communication Manager processor application. The modem provides Avaya Services with remote alarming and dial-in and dial-out access.

Connect the USB modem to port labeled USB on the media server cable adapter. The adapter is mounted on the rear of the TN8400AP Media Server circuit pack.

Modem options are set when you configure the media server. No options are set on the modems themselves.

About Media Gateways

In a new installation, the S8400 Media Server is installed only in the Avaya G650 Media Gateway.

In a migration the media server is installed only in the following Avaya Media Gateways:

●G600

●CMC1

In addition, the media servers work with Avaya G150, G250, G350, and G700 Media Gateways. These gateways register with the S8400 either through the S8400 Processor Ethernet interface or through a TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack.
