G700 Media Gateway - Overview

 

The G700 Media Gateway is designed to be scalable and offer options. It is functional on its own or with other G700 Media Gateways. Fifty G700 Media Gateways can be supported using the S8300 Media Server. A maximum of 250 G700 Media Gateways can be supported using the S8700 Media Server. The G700 is also functional in a stack that is mixed with Avaya P330 devices such as the P333T, P333R, and P334.

To provide power to IP telephones without additional cables, stack the G700 Media Gateways with the Avaya P333T-PWR.

 
The following list describes the basic architecture of the G700 Media Gateway:

· Intel i960 controller that hosts the base switch control and

  management software.
· Supports 15 ports of tone detection
· Fits in a EIA-310-D standard 19 inch data rack
· Can sit on a desk top
· Contains four Media Module slots
· One Avaya P330 expansion module slot
· One slot for the Avaya P330 Octaplane stacking fabric
· Contains an internal Motherboard described in detail later in this

  section
· Standard based 10/100 Ethernet Interface connection types
· Internal global AC power supply that provides low voltage DC

  power to the fans, Motherboard and Media Modules
· Four internal fans that provide cooling for the internal

  components
· A LED board that indicates system level status
· A serial port for command line access
· A VoIP engine that supports up to 64 G.711 single channel calls
· Eight port layer 2 switch
 

The G700 Media Gateway has a physical design that is similar to the Avaya stackable switching products. The following figure shows the G700 Media Gateway with two Avaya P330 switches. The G700 is shown at the top of the stack.
