Media Modules

Media Modules are optional, plug-in circuit assemblies. They provide traditional interfacing of service provider network access solutions (such as T1/E1) and connections to TDM-based endpoints (such as DCP digital phones and analog phones). The Media Modules available are (as shown in Figure 2):

1. Avaya^TM MM710 T1/E1 Media Module
2. Avaya^TM MM760 VoIP Media Module for additional VoIP resources
3. Avaya^TM MM711 Analog Media Module for connection to 8 analog stations or CO trunks
4. Avaya^TM MM712 DCP Media Module for connection to 8 DCP stations
5. Avaya^TM MM720 BRI Media Module for connection to 8 ports for international BRI trunks

For detailed descriptions of the Media Modules see "Avaya MultiVantage Solutions Hardware Guide, 555-233-200".

The Media Modules enable the S8300 Media Server with G700 Media Gateways to host a variety of functions, ranging from IP phones to traditional analog telephony ports. The Media Modules contain trunk or line interfaces and their associated circuitry. Each of the four Media Module slots has access to the 512-time-slot TDM bus, a 10/100 base T port, power (+5V, -48 V phantom) and ground. Each Media Module can be accessed and reset from the G700 Media Gateway Processor (MGP) or from the S8300 Media Server, and its status is indicated by an LED display.
