Components and Capacities

Avaya G700 Media Gateways are designed to permit exceptional network flexibility and scalability. With the Avaya S8300 Media Server, a G700 can run Avaya MultiVantage^TM and function as server for the network. When server functions are located elsewhere, a G700 may serve in a "survivable configuration," and take over call processing and control functions when connection to the primary server is lost.

Four media module slots allow customers to mix and match any of five media modules that allow for traditional interfacing of service provider network access solutions such as T1/E1, Loop Start/Ground Start Trunks, as well as connections to TDM based endpoints such as DCP digital phones, analog phones and tip/ring devices. This chapter provides brief descriptions of the G700 communications servers and modules followed by sections detailing G700 system capacities, network interface capacities, media module capacities, and general messaging capacities.
