the same room or in separate locations. The S8700 Media Servers can be located up to 6 miles
(10 kilometers) apart.
Collocated media servers
Connect the crossover CAT5 cable and fiber optic cable between the 2 media servers. For a
connectivity guide, refer to Getting Started with the Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with G600

they are considered to be separated. The connectivity for this arrangement will be custom
engineered. For an overview of separated servers please see the job aid
