Optional software
In addition to the basic or advanced Communication Manager offerings, various
optional packages can enhance the capabilities of the system. Some of the

Capacities
System capacities have been expanded for these products:
■ S8700 Media Servers with G700 Media Gateways in standard or Local
Survivable Processor (LSP) configuration
■ S8300 Media Server with G700 Media Gateways in standard or Local
Survivable Processor (LSP) configuration
■ Number of supported users and trunks on G700
NOTE:
In the event the link between the remote media gateway and the main server
(S8700 or S8300) is broken, the LSP activates and takes over for those
endpoints and media gateways that are connected to the main processing
server. A software license for each LSP is required to activate the LSP
feature.
Please see the Avaya MultiVantage™ Solutions System Capacities Table,
