An S8300 Media Server (version B) is an Intel Celeron-based processor that runs the Linux
operating system. It resides in one of three media gateways: G700, G350, or G250.
Detailed description
The G700 Media Gateway is scalable and offers options. It is functional on its own or with other
G700 Media Gateways. The G700 is also functional in a stack that is mixed with Avaya C360
devices.
A maximum of 50 G700 Media Gateways can be supported using the S8300 Media Server. A
maximum of 250 G700 Media Gateways can be supported using the S8700-series Media
