A DEFINITY Server-Controlled Maintenance

DEFINITY Server-Controlled Maintenance

DEFINITY Equivalent Elements

Many of the Avaya Media Modules and G700 subsystems are based on existing DEFINITY circuit packs or systems as indicated by the following table. DEFINITY server-experienced users will find that components function and are maintained equivalently to their DEFINITY counterparts as outlined in Table 199.

Note: This information is included for environments where the G700 Media Gateway with an S8300 Media Server is integrated into larger architectures running Avaya Communication Manager.

Table 199. DEFINITY Equivalent Elements
G700 Component	DEFINITY Equivalent
T1/E1 Media Module	Partially the TN464GP DS
Analog Line/Trunk Media Module	TN797 Combination Port Board
DCP Media Module	TN2224 2-Wire Digital Line Board
BRI Trunk Media Module	TN2185 BRI Board
Voice Announcement	TN2501 Announcement Board
S8300	S8700 or other DEFINITY ECS
Messaging	CWY1 Board (DEFINITY One)
Tone Generator	TN2182 Tone Generator/Clock
Tone Detectors (DSP Emulated)	TN2182 ETR Ports
VoIP DSPs	TN2302AP DSP Farm (TN3201 AP Prowler Board DSP Farm)

The actual implementation of circuits does differ markedly from their DEFINITY counterparts which, along with the G700, changes how many operations are conducted. The intent of G700 development is to move towards the data networking paradigm and to lessen the G700's and its components' dependency on Media Servers. Presumably, administration would eventually come from system management rather than a Media Server. Another goal is to create "smarter" Media Modules which, when combined with enhancements of the G700's maintenance software, will allow all Media Module testing to occur on the G700 platform. Test results would be sent to system management.
