■ (For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) The other media module slots are
filled as needed to meet the call-processing needs at your site. Media
modules can be mixed and matched. Table 8 lists the administrative name
and port capacities for the media modules that may be installed in a G700
Media Gateway.
Local Survivable Processor configuration
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) An S8300 Media Server can be configured
either as the primary call-processing controller, or as a Local Survivable Processor
(LSP). An LSP can take over call processing if the primary call-processing system
(such as another S8300 Media Server or an S8700 Media Server) is unavailable
for any reason (such as a network failure or server problem). The S8300 Media
Servers can be either the primary or LSP media servers; they are set up to operate
as a primary or standby LSP server during the configuration process using the
S8300 Media Server Web Interface.
(For S8300 and S8700 Media Servers) If the S8300 Media Server loses contact
with its G700 Media Gateway, it will take the media gateway out of service after a
time-out period. However, if the G700 loses contact with the S8300 Media Server,
the media gateway first tries to reestablish contact. If it fails after a time-out
period, then the G700 tries to connect with another media server in its controller
list. When a functional media server is located, the G700 reboots.
