Figure 4: Avaya S8300 Media Server
S8300 Media Server
The S8300 Media Server is an Intel processor complex that mounts in the first media module slot (V1) of
the G700 Media Gateway. The S8300 Media Server has:
• Avaya™ Communication Manager (For a full description see: http://www.avaya.com/support)
• Administration and maintenance provisioning software
• 20 G hard drive (40 G available January 2004)
• 256 MB RAM (512 MB available January 2004)
• Web server
• Linux OS (Redhat)
• Support of H.248 and H.323 Protocols
• TFTP server and other IP services
A new version of the S8300 is expected to be available January 2004. The S8300B will be backward
compatible with current version and will have a 40 G hard drive and 512 MB RAM (in two 256 MB
DIMM strips).
Local Survivable Processor (LSP)
The S8300 Media Server can act as a survivable call-processing server for remote or branch customer
locations. As an LSP, the S8300 Media Server carries a complete set of Communication Manager
features, and its license file allows it to function as a survivable call processor. If the link between the
remote G700 Media Gateways and the primary controller is broken, those telephones and G700s that are
designated to receive backup service from the LSP will register with the LSP. The LSP will provide
control to those registered devices in a license error mode (see Hardware Guide for Avaya™
Communication Manager).
S8500 Media Server
The G700 Media Gateway can be controlled by an external S8500 Media Server. The S8500 is connected
to the G700 over the network through a C-LAN circuit pack in the G600, SCC1, or MCC1.
