Install the Media Gateways
Floor plans and equipment layouts for typical S8700 Multi-Connect configuration installations
are provided in Designing the Avaya S8700 Media Server for Multi-Connect Configuration.
Media gateways are typically installed in the same equipment room as the Avaya S8700 Media
Server rack hardware; however, the media gateways can be installed in another location,
including another state or country. A media gateway may contain from 1 to 5 port networks
(PNs).
NOTE:
Before you begin the media gateway installation, check the location of the AC/DC power
receptacles. The receptacles must be on separately fused circuits not controlled by wall
switches. They must be located within 10 feet (3 meters) of the gateway and outside the
Main Distribution Frame (MDF) area.
