Maintenance overview
This chapter introduces the Avaya G350 Media Gateway system architecture, and presents an overview
of the maintenance strategy for the media gateway and its components.
The G350 with a Media Server system
The G350 with an S8300, S8500, or S8700 Media Server is a family of components that seamlessly
delivers a business’s voice, fax, and messaging capabilities over an IP network. The value of the G350
system is that it provides a standards-based, IP communications infrastructure that enables Avaya to
lower customers’ total cost of ownership. The G350 system provides applications to the edge of the
network, high reliability for critical applications, and multi-service networking with feature transparency.
The G350 with a Media Server infrastructure is comprised of three modular elements: Media Gateways,
Media Servers, and Software.
Integration with your network system
The G350 with a Media Server incorporates the following features that help it fit easily into your system:
•
It is built around open IP standards (H.248 and H.323).
•
It integrates traditional circuit-switched interfaces (analog stations, analog trunks, FAX,
multifunction digital stations, T1/E1 trunking, ISDN-BRI and PRI, etc.) and IP-switched
interfaces (IP telephones, IP trunking). This integration allows the user to evolve easily from the
current circuit-switched telephony infrastructures to next generation IP infrastructures.
•
It integrates standard LAN switching capabilities, including Power over Ethernet, and IP routing
capabilities with support for WAN technologies like E1/T1 leased lines, PPP, frame relay, USP,
and VPN over DSL (using external appliances).
