I have one small office that currently has a partner. My voice network contains serveral G3's running CM2.X. I was thinking of replacing that partner with a G350 and just looking for any thoughts on the G350, good or bad. I was planning on running the G350 in its stand alone mode but connecting it back to a remote Intuity Audix.

I don't know if a G350 can be licensed in "Stand Alone" mode ... but I can tell you for a fact that LSP licensing is MUCH cheaper than "stand alone" ... and obviously an LSP will use the main Intuity.

With LSP, is the processor local or remote to the G350?

Do I need an S8XX0 server in the network? Because I only have G3's with "in skin" precessors.

LSP = Local Survivable Processor and yes, it does require an S8xx0 processor at the main site. Time to upgrade that old technology, lv. I have one customer who upgraded to the S8700 and is placing S8300 LSP's world-wide at all of their branch offices to make one large virtual PBX with local survivability.

Thanks for the info Al but,

Would a G350 with S8300 work by itself without an S8700 at the main sight? and still be able to connect to a remote Intuity?

ahays

How many total stations will this G350 be supporting and how many will need VMail?

I'd still like to have the user count, but the answer is "yes" with the following caveats:

1) DCS must be turned on and configured between the two sites: either DCS via CLAN or DCS+
2) DCS must be turned on and configured in the Audix

Thanks.

The user coust is 6 at the remote sight with VM. There may be a few Auto Attendants though. Total phones including fax, polycom, open cubes is less that 15. I will have IP trunking between the main sight and remote and DCS is turned on in the Intuity.

Thanks for your help Al. This sight is so great!!!!

That is just fantastic! We are getting there. CM 3.0 upgrade is scheduled for late August. We have 4 main sites with local processors (two with s8700) and DCS+. We'll pare that down to a couple with LSPs in the legacy sites. IP trunking will support the bearer traffic (BSR, extension dialing, etc). Can't wait because I get all those juicy RTUs in one single PBX network that I can utilize as I see fit. Hopefully, within 6 or so months, we'll have one single PBX network across the eastern seaboard (with some caribbean presence too). Avaya has really gotten their act together on this.

Their are a couple options you can use a G350 bye its self or you can use another si carrier from another site you would just need a ipsi card for it and connect it via IP. I am assuming you have s8700 allready. You could also use ip office it all depends on how many users you have if you are considuring a g350 i think the max is 45 but thats with IP sets. Just call avaya and they could set you up with a design specialist and they will write you up a quote.

The g350 will operate in stand alone mode, or can operate as an LSP, if LSP then all you need is the controller CLan IP address, (at the main site), provided the main controller is already running Communication Manager.
Stand alone is very to implement, and the gateway can accomidate up to 400 IP end points, 43 analog end points, and 120 digital end points.
We implement them all the time, (being an AVAYA bussiness partner and integrater), and find them to be very reliable unit. It can be integrated with remote Audix's via DCS or Q-sig, and can be part of a multi-site solution.

Careful of the faxing and modem over your WAN link - I'm going through an implementation right now where I'm not having much luck with it. Faxing works some of the time, but I can't get modems to work at all... Maybe some others can elaborate a little on their succes for liquid's sake?
