Avaya S8300 Media Server configured as an LSP

The Avaya S8300 Media Server configured as an LSP (Local Survivable Processor) is identical to the S8300 Media Server, with the exception that it is loaded with a slightly different version of the Avaya MultiVantageTM software. This software difference allows a G700 Media Gateway to operate as a "survivable" call-processing server for remote/branch customer locations.

In the LSP configuration, the S8300 serves as an alternate server/gatekeeper for IP entities such as IP telephones and G700s. These IP entities use the LSP when they lose connectivity to their primary server. In the event that the link is broken between the remote G700 and the main processing server or LSP takes over for those telephones and other G700s connected to the remote G700. A large enterprise customer may have a main processing server, such as the Avaya S8700 Media Server, controlling multiple remote G700s configured with LSPs. The LSP will ONLY take over for those telephones connected to its remote G700y.

Like the S8300, the LSP can only be into placed in the leftmost media module slot (V1). An S8300 Media Server and an S8300 Media Server in LSP mode cannot both be installed in the same G700.
