Avaya S8500 Media Server
The Avaya S8500 Media Server is a rack mounted telephony server. The S8500 runs the Linux
operating System, and features Avaya Communication Manager. The S8500 can support
Internet Protocol (IP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and traditional endpoints. This tri-level
support enables new technology and eases migration from legacy Avaya systems. The S8500
Media Server is a perfect solution for mid-sized customers, with growth of up to 3200 ports.

media server and the port networks (PNs). At least one PN in a fiber-connected
configuration must contain a TN2312BP circuit pack. In an IP-connect configuration, each
PN must contain one TN2312BP circuit pack.
● TN2302AP IP media processor on page 256 or TN2602AP IP Media Resource 320 on
page 267, which provides TDM-to-IP conversions of audio signals. At least one of these
circuit packs is required in each IP-connected PN.
● One Ethernet switch for single control reliability. The switch is one of the following types:
- Avaya C360 Ethernet
switches on page 379 (for new installations and migrations)
- Avaya P133 and P134 Ethernet switches
