G700 Media Gateway Overview
G700 is a family of components which can deliver data, voice, fax, and
messaging capabilities over an IP network.
The heart of the G700 system is the Media Gateway. The Media Gateway
is a VoIP system that acts as an IP PBX and messaging server and a VoIP
gateway. In addition, it performs the function of a gatekeeper and an IP
media management resource for tone detection and generation,
conferencing, and call classification.
The Media Gateway components are controlled through the Media
Gateway Processor (MGP). The MGP detects when a media module is
inserted or removed and transfers information from the VoIP engine to
the other components.
G700 converges the power of Avaya Call Processing (ACP) software with
the power of distributed switching from the Avaya C360 Device. It
provides IP PBX functionality using open standards and an open
operating system. The G700 device connects to ACP using either an
internal or external call controller. The ACP serves as the G700’s
gatekeeper.
