● Distributed Avaya Enterprise Connect.
In this mode, the G250/G350 is controlled by an external MGC. This may be a standalone
server, such as the S8500, S8700-series, or a separate media gateway in a standalone
configuration. In systems with Enhanced Local Survivability (ELS), the G250/G350 also
houses an S8300 Server module to function as a Local Survivable Processor (LSP), which
can take over control of the G250/G350 if the external MGC stops serving the G250/G350.
● Standalone.
In this mode, the G250/G350 is controlled by an internally housed S8300 Server module.
Multiple G250s and G350s may be deployed in many remote branches of a large organization.
Large branches or main offices may deploy an Avaya G700 Media Gateway, which provides
similar functionality to the G350 for a larger number of users. Up to 250 G250, G350, and G700
Media Gateways may be controlled by a single external S8700-series Server.
G350 Configurations
The G350 is a modular device with multiple configuration possibilities to meet specific individual
needs. Six slots in the G350 chassis house various media modules, providing connections for
different telephones, telephone trunks, data devices, and data lines.
Server configuration options for the G350 include:
● Standalone. In this configuration, one media module slot houses the S8300 internal
Server, which runs the call control applications for the G350. The remaining slots house a
customized selection of media modules, which connect to circuit-switched phones, trunks,
and data devices. This configuration is capable of supporting up to 40 stations (maximum
of 26 legacy Analog/DCP stations) and 35 trunks, including both circuit-switched and
packet-switched (IP) endpoints.
● Media Gateway. In this configuration, there is no internal server. The G350 is dependent
on a separate controller. This may be an external standalone server such as the S8500,
S8700-series, or the S8300 Server housed in a separate media gateway. All six media
module slots are available to house a customized selection of media modules.
● Survivable. In this configuration, an external server provides primary controlling service to
the G350. The S8300 populates one of the module slots as a backup controller and
functions in Local Survivable Processor (LSP) mode. If the external server stops serving
the G350, the S8300 takes over the service. As for standalone configuration, the
remaining slots house a customized selection of media modules.
Each G350 should deploy as a single unit at a remote location. Multiple G350s may be
deployed in many remote branches of a large organization. Large branches or main offices
requiring more capacity than a single G350 should deploy one or more Avaya G700 Media
Gateways. In addition to media gateway functions similar to those of G700, the G350 can
optionally provide integrated power-over-Ethernet and WAN routing functions through media
modules.
The G350 now supports up to 10 concurrent call center agents. Customers requiring more call
center agents in a small branch office should consider the G700 media gateway.
