Why the Avaya G860 Media Gateway
The Avaya G860 Media Gateway allows call center customers to consolidate facilities and
reduce communications costs. The media gateway concentrates incoming PSTN traffic over
several DS3 lines while supporting VoIP telephony in the call center itself.
The use of voice over IP (VoIP) and conversion from DS1 to DS3 lines eliminate the large
number of DS1 interfaces required to support the same amount of call traffic. The Avaya G860
Media Gateway supports up to 6000 channels of session IP (SIP) VoIP telephony. It uses N+1
redundancy of media gateway, Ethernet switch, shelf controller, and power supply modules to
achieve high availability in mission critical applications.
In the sample call center configuration shown here, a simulated PSTN delivers customer calls
using a DS3 interface to the Avaya G860 Media Gateway. The media gateway establishes calls
with the Avaya S8720 Media Server via SIP signaling and routes all Real-time Transport
Protocol (RTP) traffic to the appropriate media resources within the Avaya G650 Media
Gateway or Avaya endpoints. Avaya Communication Manager delivers the calls to an agent
phone.

Avaya G860 Media Gateway configuration
The following sections describe how to configure the SIP and PSTN trunks and call routing for
the Avaya G860 Media Gateway. You configure the media gateway using the GUI-based
Element Management System (EMS). If configuring in a staging area, the EMS client software
is installed on the staging laptop. If configuring at the customer’s site, the EMS client software is
installed on the customer’s client computer.
The first part covers configuring the network support parameters. The second part covers
configuring the Trunk Processing Module (TPM [TP6310]) board, which controls the call
signaling for and routing between the SIP and DS3 interfaces to which it is connected.

Call routing configuration
Similar to Avaya Communication Manager, the Avaya G860 Media Gateway must be configured
with SIP and DS3 trunks and with rules to route inbound (DS3 > SIP) and outbound (SIP > DS3)
calls based on information in the incoming call request. You may want to load balance the
incoming traffic from the Avaya G860 Media Gateway across multiple TN799DP C-LAN circuit
packs in the Avaya G650 Media Gateway. All outbound calls should be routed from the
TN799DP C-LAN circuit packs to the Avaya G860 Media Gateway, which routes them to the
DS3 interface on the PSTN side. The routing rules are summarized below.
The routing list also has the property that if a call cannot be successfully routed to the
destination specified by a matched rule, then the next rule that matches is used to attempt to
route the call. This can be used implement a failover strategy if one of the TN799DP C-LAN
circuit packs is not responding or not available. For this feature to work most effectively, we
recommend that during maintenance operations, the Ethernet interface be disabled on a
TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack as well as busying it out.
Call Type Routing
(G860 to/from C-LANs) Condition
Inbound DS3 > SIP > C-LAN1 Last digit of calling
number = 0-4
Inbound DS3 > SIP > C-LAN2 Last digit of calling
number = 5-9
Inbound DS3 > SIP > All All
Outbound C-LANs > SIP > DS3 All

For more information about determining the best routing and alternate routing configurations,
contact an Avaya software specialist.
Configuring inbound call routing on the TPM
The Trunk Processing Module (TPM) must be locked before starting these steps. See Locking
the TPM on page 9.
Note:
Note: The two rules set up in these steps implement a form of load sharing that is based
on the calling numbers of the inbound traffic.
1. Double-click the locked TPM shown in black.
2. Select the SIP tab.
3. Select the Routing tab to display the SIP Tel to IP Routing List.
4. Click the + icon to add a routing rule.
Routing rules are applied to inbound calls (DS3 > SIP).
5. In the Name field, type an appropriate name.
6. In the Source Phone Prefix field, type a match specification, where x matches any digit
in the calling number and [x-y] specifies that the digit in hat position should match any
digit in the range x to y.
7. In the Dest Address field, type the IP address of the TN799DP C-LAN circuit pack to
which the incoming PSTN call is sent.
For example, if the last digit of the calling number ends in 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, then a SIP
INVITE is sent to C-LAN1. See the table in Call Routing Configuration.
8. Click Apply and then Close.

Avaya G860 Media Gateway configuration
Avaya G860 Media Gateway Setup 03-601863, Issue 1, November 2007 19
9. Repeat steps 8 and 9, clicking on the + icon to add each rule.
For example, if the last digit of the calling number ends in 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, then a SIP
INVITE is sent to C-LAN2. See the table in Call Routing Configuration.
10. Select the Routing Setting tab.
11. In the Enable Alternative Routing field, select y.
12. Use the default settings for the other fields.
