22 Installing and Configuring the Avaya S8500 Media Server February 2007
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.
