G700 Media Gateway Chassis and Processors
The G700 Media Gateway chassis is a 19-inch, 2u rack-mountable unit modeled after the Avaya
TM
P330 stackable switching products. A partial list of technical specifications of the G700 appears in
Appendix A
.
The G700 has three internal processors:
• P330 stack processor (also known as Layer 2 switching processor)
• Media gateway processor (MGP)
• Voice over IP (VoIP) processor
Media Modules
Media modules are optional, plug-in circuit assemblies. They provide traditional interfacing of
service provider network access solutions (such as T1/E1) and connections to TDM-based endpoints
(such as DCP digital phones and analog phones). The available media modules are (as shown in
Figure 2):
1. Media module slot #1 (V1)
2. S8300 services port (used with cross-over ethernet
cable)
3. S8300 USB-series modem connection
4. Expansion module slot
5. 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports (ext1, ext2)
6. media module slot #2 (V2)
7. Media module slot #3 (V3)
8. Media module slot #4 (V4)
