How does the S8300 Media Server with G700
Media Gateways fit into Your System?

The S8300 Media Server with G700 Media Gateways incorporates the following features that help it fit easily into your system:

• It is built around open IP standards (H.248 and H.323).
• It seamlessly integrates traditional circuit switched interfaces (analog stations, analog trunks, FAX, multifunction digital stations, E1/T1 trunking, ISDN-BRI and PRI, etc.) and IP switched interfaces (IP telephones, IP trunking). This seamless integration allows the user to evolve easily from the current circuit switched telephony infrastructures to next generation IP infrastructures.
• It is built on Cajun data equipment technology in order to integrate naturally into customer data networks and provide additional value in a Cajun networking environment. It provides the highly reliable Cajun hardware scheme with high-speed octaplane technology. See "Avaya^TM P330 Manager User Guide" for more information on the Cajun hardware.
