94 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
What is a Local Survivable Processor (LSP)
The S8300 Media Server can act as a survivable call-processing server for remote or branch
customer locations. As an LSP, the S8300 Media Server carries a complete set of
Communication Manager features, and its license file allows it to function as a survivable call
processor. If the link between the remote G700 Media Gateways and the primary controller is
broken, those telephones and G700s that are designated to receive backup service from the
LSP will register with the LSP. The LSP will provide control to those registered devices in a
license error mode (see Hardware Description and Reference for Avaya Communication
Manager, 555-245-207).
Primary controller and LSP in the same stack
You can install an LSP in the same stack as that of the S8300 primary controller. In this case,
the primary controller and LSP are in separate G700 Media Gateways. Their respective G700
Media Gateways can share the same Octaplane cabling, such that the LSP can register and
communicate with the primary controller. In addition, the LSP is accessible and can access the
LAN through the Octaplane connection. The LSP does not require a separately-cabled Ethernet
connection. A separate Ethernet connection to the LSP, however, is optional.
What is the S8400 media server
The G700 Media Gateway can be controlled by an external S8400 Media Server. The S8400 is
connected to the G700 over the network through a C-LAN circuit pack in the G600 or G650
Media Gateway. The S8400 can also be connected to the G700 over the network directly to
either of two Ethernet ports on the S8400, depending on which is configured in the software as
the processor Ethernet port.
What is the S8500 media server
The G700 Media Gateway can be controlled by an external S8500 Media Server. The S8500 is
connected to the G700 over the network through a C-LAN circuit pack in the G600, SCC1, or
MCC1. The S8500 can also be connected to the G700 over the network directly to either of two
Ethernet ports on the S8500, depending on which is configured in the software as the processor
Ethernet port.
What is the S8700/S8710/S8720 media server
The G700 Media Gateway can be controlled by an external S8700/S8710/S8720 Media Server
(sometimes referred to as an ECC configuration). The S8700/S8710/S8720 with the G600,
G650, SCC1, and/or the MCC1 Media Gateways can control the G700. The S8700/S8710/
S8720 is connected to the G700 over the network through a C-LAN circuit pack in the G600,
G650, SCC1, or MCC1.
