Installing the media gateways
In a new installation, the Avaya S8700 or S8710 Media Servers work with only the Avaya G650 Media
Gateway. However, an Avaya MCC1 Media Gateway is provided in a multiconnect configuration when a
switch node carrier (SNC) for Center Stage Switch (CSS) is required. The MCC1 Media Gateway may
contain one port network in the A, B, C, and D positions and the SNC in the E position. For duplicated
bearer networks, the D position also may be used for the duplicated (B-PNC) SNC.
In a migration the media servers work with Avaya MCC1 and SCC1 Media Gateways in a multiconnect
configuration, and G600 or CMC1 Media Gateways in an IP configuration.
In addition, the media servers work with Avaya G350 and G700 Media Gateways, but only if the G650
Media Gateway has a TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack installed. These gateways are treated as endpoints
off the TN799DP.
Media gateways typically are installed in the same equipment room as the media server rack hardware
(control network); however, they can be installed in another location, including another state or country.
