The maintenance strategy for the G700 Media Gateway with S8300 or S8700 Media Servers is intended to provide easy fault isolation procedures and to limit problems to field replaceable components. The maintenance strategy is driven by the desire to move the G700 towards a data networking paradigm. This leads to a dual strategy in which some of the G700's subsystems are maintained and controlled by a Media Server running Avaya Communication Manager, while others will be covered by maintenance software residing on the G700. The latter subsystems will not be monitored directly by a Media Server. It is anticipated that future development will enhance the capability of the G700's maintenance software to maintain all subsystems, which will lessen the G700's dependence on a Media Server.
Table 1 shows the three main maintenance arenas associated with the S8300 Media Server with G700 Media Gateways:
| Arena |
Detail |
|---|---|
| Web Interface |
Web-based access to the S8300/S8700 Media Server. Users can perform administration, maintenance, and status functions through the Web interface. |
| Communication Manager System Access Terminal (SAT) commands |
Very similar to standard Communication Manager SAT commands that readers are familiar with from other Avaya products |
| G700 CLI commands -- see Appendix B, CLI Reference for the Avaya G700 Media Gateway Processor |
Unique to the G700 Media Gateway platform. Used for administration, maintenance, and status functions on the G700. Users can also access the Layer 2 Switching Processor CLI for Layer 2 Switching Processor-related CLI commands) |
