Chapter 1: Introduction

Modem options

You set the modem options when you configure the media server. You do not set options on the modems themselves.

About media gateways

In a new installation, the Avaya S8500 Media Server works with only the Avaya G650 Media Gateway.

In a migration, the media server works with the following Avaya media gateways:

SCC1

G600

CMC1

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

With an S8500 Media Server, these media gateways can be endpoints that use a Processor Ethernet interface.

Media gateways usually are installed in the same equipment room as the media server rack hardware or control network. However, you can install the media gateways in another location, including another state or country.

About Processor Ethernet

Like a C-LAN circuit pack, Processor Ethernet provides connectivity to IP endpoints, gateways, and adjuncts. The PE interface is a logical connection in the Communication Manager software that uses a port on the NIC in the server. No additional hardware is needed to implement PE.

Starting with Release 3.1 of Communication Manager, the PE interface is enabled on the S8500 Media Server to allow enhanced flexibility to connect to gateways, endpoints, and adjuncts.
