When you first power up the S8300, the red Major Alarm LED lights. During startup, an LED
sequence runs: red ALM, green TST, yellow ACT, green OK-to-Remove, and the three LEDs
under the Services Port, after which all LEDs turn off. At this point, you can connect to the
S8300. When Communication Manager starts, the green TST LED turns on and stays on.
Media servers supporting the G700 media gateway
Each G700 is associated with a primary call controller. The primary controller may be an S8300,
S8500, or S8700/S8710 Media Server. The S8300 is on a circuit pack that is always installed in
slot V1 of a G700. The S8500 or S8700/S8710 is housed in a separate box that connects to the
G700 over a network through a C-LAN circuit pack. Both media servers can support multiple
G700s.
The S8300 Media Servers can be configured as either a primary server or a Local Survivable
Processors (LSP). The G700 with a media server supports the entire range of adjuncts and
peripheral equipment supported by Communication Manager.
