The adoption of Avaya Aura(g) Media Server by Communications Manager (AAMS-CM) provides many of the resource capabilities of the H.323 Media Gateways (MG); but it is not always a direct replacement. With Avaya Aura and Communications Manager (CM) 8.1, both AAMS-CM and MGs are sold as media resource options, since AAMS-CM can support more channels per instance than either H.323 media gateway.
When would AAMS-CM be deployed, instead of a media gateway?

A customer with an Avaya Aura Platform requires survivable remote capabilities at their new branch location. The new branch location must also support five analog telephones and two Tl trunks.
What will address these requirements?

Yourare designing an addition to a customer's existing Avaya Aura system. The addition will include 575 IP sets, of which 200 will also use Avaya Equinox for the Desktop, 175 will use Desktop P2P Video, and 25 of them will also need Extension to Cellular (EC500). There are 75 other new users who will use Avaya Equinox for iOS as their only UC Client or endpoint.

How many Core Suite licenses are needed for the addition?

You are adding 1400 users to an existing Avaya Aura communication core- The customer wants the same services for alt users, but with this expansion there Is not enough bandwidth for audio and video calls for all.
If the bandwidth parameter Is set lower than the minimum video requirement, what will happen to users Initiating audio and video calls?

You are planning a branch location that requires Tl/El Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) trunks.
There will be a peak hour usage of 1 PSTN trunk for every 20 of the 500 users.
How many PSTN trunks and DSP resources will be needed to support calls between IP telephones and the PSTN in the branch?
