Hi all.

What is the diffrence between S8700 media server & G700 Gateways,

For all the installation we need S8700 media server aswell as G700 Media gateways .

Pls give me brief to understand the diffrence , we are looking for procuring the Avaya voice solutions.

Thanks in advance

The S8700 and S8710 Media SERVER is one of the Communication Manager processing elements. It is the core of the platform ... and it is just that, a SERVER.

The G700 is one of many Media Gateways. A Media Gateway is a shelf that holds Media Modules (i.e. circuit packs ... Analog Line, Digital Line, DS1, etc.). However, the G700 is generally associated with the S8300. The G650 Media Gateway is more typically used with the S8700/S8710 platform.

For a better understanding of the Communication Manager platform I recommend that you goto http://www.avaya-learning.com and take the course AVA00170: Avaya Media Servers and Gateways.

regs,

Media servers = brains
Gateways = port networks

The S8300 is the 'processor' module that is used in a G700 media gateway which has a limited number of non-standard circuit pack slots.
S8700/S8710 are standalone brains that have no slots for circuit packs
G650s are port networks only, or for typical circuit packs like Mr. .al. says.


In a system you might have a G700 w/ S8300 and an expansion module for more digital stations and a DS1. Complete phone system in 2u.

For a larger system you will have an S8700/S8710 which is actually two servers one the active PBX 'Brain' the other is an active passive server. These would be connected via IP to a G650 which will house all your trunk and port cards.
