The IP Connect control network is comprised of the customer LAN, and the IP
Server interface connectivity via an IP Switch Interface (IPSI) board. The IPSI
(TN2312) provides control network connectivity and Tone Clock/Global Call
Classifier functionality.
For more information about the high-level capabilities of S8700 IP Connect, refer
to the Avaya MultiVantage™ Solutions Hardware Guide. Also please see the
capacities table for the entire list of updated capacities. The most up-to-date
system capacity information is not listed in Communication Manager
documentation. Instead, this information is available online at

S8700 Media Server with MCC1 or SCC1 Media
Gateway
The Avaya S8700 Media Server with MCC1 or SCC1 Media Gateway (called
“Multi-Connect”) configurations uses a standard microprocessor engine with an
Intel processor on a commercial server. It provides the building block for a
flexible, highly reliable configuration that meets a variety of customer telephony
needs.
The S8700 Multi-Connect converges voice, data, and video and routes it using
high-speed connections between analog and digital trunks, data lines connected to
host computers, data-entry terminals, personal computers (PCs), and internet
addresses. The servers are duplicated in a S8700 Multi-Connect configuration.
The S8700 Multi-Connect uses a Linux platform on an Intel server. It is derived
from the current Avaya DEFINITY
® processor, has fewer physical components,
and provides most of the same features and functionality with increased capacity.
The S8700 Multi-Connect separates call control from the bearer network and uses
a dedicated local area network (LAN) for transport of the control data.
NOTE:
The call control network MUST be on a dedicated network.
For more information about the high-level capabilities of S8700 Multi-Connect,
refer to the Avaya MultiVantage™ Solutions Hardware Guide.
S8700 Media Server with G700 Media Gateway
The S8700 Media Server also may be configured to control a remote Avaya G700
Media Gateway. This configuration also typically features an Avaya S8300 Media
Server in the G700 Media Gateway, with the S8300 serving as Local Survivable
Processor (LSP), rather than primary call controller.
