S8700 Media Server supports 250 G700 Media Gateways
With Communication Manager, a total of 250 G700 Media Gateway can be
supported by the S8700 Media Servers in an ECC configuration.
NOTE:
This feature allows for an average of 40 users (or stations) for each G700
Media Gateway. Thus a system with 250 G700 Media Gateways can be
engineered to support a total of 6000 users across all the G700 Media
Gateways in an ECC configuration. These 6000 users can be evenly or
unevenly distributed among the G700 Media Gateways.
S8100 Media Server
The Avaya S8100 Media Server is targeted at small single-site, multi-site, and
branch location customers. Within these locations, the S8100 focuses on those
sites that have sophisticated application needs, such as voice mail and networking,
in addition to the extensive functionality that Communication Manager provides.
The system uses a one, two, or three ten-slot CMC1 (wall mount) or G600 (19"
rack mount) Gateway cabinet. The S8100 supports up to 168 ports in the single
cabinet configuration, or 618 ports in a two or three cabinet configuration.
The S8100 Media Server uses a Microsoft Windows 2000 server as its operating
system. The Windows 2000 server provides a level of flexibility that allows
multiple applications to co-reside on a single hardware platform.
The S8100 Media Server provides on-board Ethernet connectivity. This allows
customers to administer the switch as a point on their LAN. Although LAN
connectivity is available, other options, such as dial up connectivity and access
through a local monitor, mouse and keyboard, are still provided to accommodate
customers who do not have data networks that extend to remote locations.
