Overview for S8700 Media Server 7
November 2003
Overview
The Avaya S8700 Media Server with the Avaya G650 Media Gateway combines a media server for
control and media gateways for managing the bearer traffic. The control network can be either dedicated
(over a private network) or nondedicated (over the customer’s public network).
The voice bearer networkV is available in two configurations:
• Voice bearer over IP (IP-Connect): An all-IP configuration.
• Voice bearer over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or Center Stage Switch (CSS) (Multi-
Connect): In this configuration the bearer paths and control paths are separate. The control
information for port networks travels over either a dedicated, through the Ethernet, switch
(private LAN) or non-dedicated (over customer LAN) control network and terminates on the
S8700 Media Server at one end and an IPSI circuit pack on the other.
Detailed description
S8700 Media Server
The Avaya S8700 Media Server uses a standard microprocessor engine and a Redhat Linux platform with
an Intel-based processor on a commercial server. The S8700 Media Server uses high-speed connections
to route voice, data, and video between analog and digital trunks, data lines that are connected to host
computers, data-entry terminals, personal computers, and internet addresses.
The S8700 Media Server is derived from the DEFINITY® processor, has fewer physical components,
and provides most of the same features and functionality with increased capacity.
See Figure 1, S8700 Media Server,
on page 7 for an example of the S8700 Media Server.
