Avaya S8300D Media Server Card

Communication Manager Messaging is a voice mail system that you can use with S8300D Server. Communication Manager Messaging is a software-only version of messaging that uses a QSIG-MWI H.323 virtual trunk for communication between Communication Manager and Communication Manager Messaging. You can use Communication Manager Messaging on the G450 Media Gateway and G430 Branch Gateway configurations. Communication Manager Messaging processes touchtone, signals, converts messages to the G.711 format, and converts text to speech.

The Communication Manager Messaging software does not require any hardware to carry out these functions. You can integrate the Communication Manager Messaging application with other voice mail systems using TCP/IP and Avaya Message Networking.

Communication Manager Messaging uses many resources of S8300D Server including the gateway in which S8300D Server is configured. Communication Manager Messaging uses the following resources of S8300D Server:

• Hardware for data storage and retrieval

• TFTP server for:

  • Downloading and updating the license file for feature activation

  • Backing up and restoring data over a LAN or a WAN, including translation files and messages

  • Updating and upgrading software

• IP address for administration access

• General Alarm Manager for alarm display

• Web interface to start and quit the application

Communication Manager Messaging also shares the same switchtone parameters established for S8300D Server. S8300D Server handles switch tones on behalf of Communication Manager Messaging and passes on the control information to Communication Manager Messaging using QSIG signaling.
