Avaya S8700 Media Server

The voice bearer network is available in two configurations:

• Voice bearer over IP (IP-Connect): An all-IP configuration.

• Voice bearer over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or Center Stage Switch (CSS) (Multi- Connect): In this configuration the bearer paths and control paths are separate. The control information for port networks travels over either a dedicated, through the Ethernet, switch (private LAN) or non-dedicated (over customer LAN) control network and terminates on the S8700 Media Server at one end and an IP Server Interface (IPSI) circuit pack on the other.

Avaya G650 Media Gateway

The Avaya G650 Media Gateway is a fourteen slot, rack mounted carrier configured for TN format circuit packs. This gateway provides customers with a single rack mounted design (8U high, 14 inches) that can be installed in industry standard EIA-310D 19”, 24” or 600 mm ETSI open or closed racks. The G650 will provide a uniform equipment footprint, simplified installation and size commonality with much of today’s existing data networking equipment. The new door on the front of the gateway provides safety protection for service personnel, EMC containment, good internal thermal management and a common look and feel with other new Avaya products. From a hardware standpoint all of the 14 card slots will be universal in nature and could support any of Avaya’s TN circuit packs, however slots 1 and 2 will generally be used to hold the processor cards. The software in some cases may require that specific cards (like the IPSI and Tone Generation boards) be located in specific card slots – just as in many of today’s products. The G650 will offer dual redundant, hot swappable power supplies that significantly increase both the availability and reliability of the gateway over previous systems. The G650 uses one or two 655A power supplies, operating on either AC and DC input power. Either power supply can provide all the power needed by the G650. When two power supplies exist, they share the power load. One power supply can operate on AC power and the other on DC power. The system will always use AC power if available. All new Avaya S8700 and S8500 Media Server sales ship with G650 media gateways.

Software

The G650 requires Avaya Communication Manager Release 2.0 or later and is NOT backward compatible.
