Hardware Overview
The Avaya Media Processing Server (MPS) 500 system consists of up to two chassis and two
application processors per cabinet. The MPS 500 has a capacity of 8 spans for a maximum of 192
(T1) or 240 (E1/VOIP) lines. Optional second application processors are available for redundancy or
other processing applications.
On the MPS 500, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) spans are specified in any configuration that
best meets application requirements and your preferences. Refer to your System Definition Package
(SDP) for the details of your configuration.
The MPS 500 system is available in a 52-inch 25 Rack Unit (RU) cabinet. The standalone MPS 500
can also be installed in a 43 RU cabinet or a 48 RU cabinet. For information about 43 RU and 48
RU cabinet configurations, see MPS 1000 Hardware Installation and Maintenance (NN44100-301).
