40 Hardware Description and Reference for Avaya Communication Manager
Avaya S8400 Media Server
The S8400 Media Server is a Linux-based server that provides Communication Manager
processing functionality in stand alone, single port network (PN), telephony systems requiring
up to 900 stations. The S8400 Media Server is composed of the:
● TN8400AP Media Server circuit pack
● TN8412AP S8400 IP Interface (SIPI) circuit pack
Detailed description
For new installations, the PN uses the G650 Media Gateway. In current installations, the S8400
Media Server is used as an upgrade path for a current PN based on G650 and G600 Media
Gateways and CMC carriers. A G650 Media Gateway cannot be added to an S8400 system
that carries forward a CMC1 or G600 Media Gateway as a result of a migration.
The S8400 Media Server provides a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) based integrated
messaging capability for up to 450 light duty users. This option requires 8 ports of VoIP
resources be provisioned with the S8400 Media Server. The hard disk drive (HDD) stores the
messages and a TN2302BP IP Media Processor circuit pack usually provides the VoIP
resources.
An external messaging system is required when an S8400 Media Server based system is
configured for more than 450 light duty users that require messaging.
The S8400 Media Server supports a single PN composed of G650, G600, or CMC carriers and
all the functions provided by those carriers or PNs. The system also supports up to five media
gateways including but not limited to:
● G700
● G350
● G250
● Multi-Tech
The system supports up to 80 G150 media gateways.
