Software provides the Avaya Call Processing (telephony) features. It
resides on the S8300 Media Server, or on a remote S8700 Media Server if the G700 media gateway
does not contain an S8300 media module.
Each of these components must be correctly configured in order to bring a new system into service. The
different components also need ongoing administration and maintenance in order to upgrade or expand the
system, or diagnose problems The methods and tools used to access each of these components are covered
in Administration Tool and Access Summary.
