3. Configuration

The test configuration was designed to emulate two separate sites with multiple Port Networks at one site, and modular Gateway resources at the other site. Each site was configured with Multi-Tech FaxFinder® IP Fax Server, Avaya Aura® Communication Manager and Avaya Aura® Session Manager. Figure 1 illustrates the configuration used in the tested configuration.

3.1. Configuration Details

In the tested configuration, Communication Manager Servers and Gateways at the two sites were connected via SIP and ISDN-PRI trunks. Faxes were alternately sent between the two sites using these two facilities. Connections to Session Manager were via SIP trunk facilities, and the FaxFinder servers communicated directly with Session Manager via SIP.

Two separate Session Manager Servers were used to connect to the FaxFinder Servers at each site.

Figure 1: Multi-Tech FaxFinder® IP Fax Server sample configuration

Site A had an Avaya S8800 Communication Manager Server with two Avaya G650 Media Gateways. Each Media Gateway was configured in a separate port networks with separate IP network regions. The FaxFinder server at this site communicated with Session Manager via SIP. In turn, Communication Manager used a SIP Trunk which terminated on a CLAN circuit pack in port network 2 to communicate with Session Manager. IP media resources were provided by Media Processor (MedPro) circuit packs. Two versions of the MedPro circuit pack were tested in this configuration: TN2302AP and TN2602AP. Endpoints at this site included an Avaya 9600 Series IP Telephone (with H.323 firmware), and an analog fax machine.
