CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server Overview
The CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server audio conference bridge is a digital signal
processor (DSP)-based system. All system components for the CS700/CS780 are included in a
single, scalable chassis.
● The CS700 can support up to six T1/E1/PRI network interface cards (eight trunks per card)
or up to three T3 network interface cards.
● The CS780 can support up to three T1/E1/PRI network interface cards.
The CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server connects t o the customer control-LAN through a
primary Ethernet 10baseT/100 port. An additional LAN port serves as a backup, and it can be
quickly configured as the primary LAN port in the event of a default primary LAN interface
failure. The LAN interface supports a remote operator interface and access to the system for
management and control.
CS700 CS780
An included Keyboard/Video/Mouse switch (KVM) allows one monitor and keyboard to connect
to the CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server and up to three associated Application
Servers.
● An Embedded Server (eCRS) blade can be used for operator scheduled conferences
(except on some T3 configurations).
● A separate Client Registration server (CRS) is used in T3 configurations and when user
scheduling of conferences using a web interface requires more processing power.
For large systems, an optional RAID system provides storage for additional user and
conference profiles and extended future conference reservations.
10 Installing the CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server
Installation Steps
Installation consists of the following steps:
1. Verify installation of power, thermal management, LAN, and network connections.
2. Verify receipt of necessary hardware and cables.
3. Mount hardware to racks or as specified.
4. Connect power, keyboard/video/mouse, modems, LAN, and network connections.
5. Verify system operation.
6. Notify Support Help Desk that the system is ready to be configured. Note any discrepancies
between installed facilities and the Site Survey.
Call Processing Components
The CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server contains Network Interface Cards with T1/E1/
ISDN or T3 interfaces, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), a host CPU, and associated busses
and transition cards that enable it to process audio conferences.
CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server Overview
The main function of the system hardware is call processing, which occurs as follows:
● A Network Interface Card (NIC): Receives incoming calls from the telephone network
and places the calls on a Time Domain Multiplexed (TDM) bus.
● The Time Domain Multiplexed (TMD) bus: Distributes the calls to available DSPs in the
system.
● The Digital Signal Processors (DSPs): Perform the operations necessary for calls to
participate in a conference, such as analyzing speech and tones and combining speech
samples. The DSPs then return the processing results, which represent the audio in the
conference, back to the TDM bus and then to the NIC card, which tran smits the dat a to the
network.
● A Central Processing Unit (CPU): Controls system operation and manages system
resources. It assigns DSPs to conferences as they are scheduled, handles incoming calls,
and assigns channels on the TDM bus.
● A T3: Can replace one or more network interface cards for higher capacity. The availability
of slots for DSP cards limits the system to a maximum of three T3 cards.
● An embedded or separate Client Registration Server (CRS): Provides operator only
(eCRS) or operator and user conference scheduling by a web-based interface.

off-the-shelf servers from Dell or HP. The following models are certified by Avaya:
● Dell Poweredge 1850 (1U).
● Dell Poweredge 2850 (2U).
● HP Proliant DL380.
Customers may also provide their own server running Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, SP2.
Thermal Management
Please refer to the Site Survey or documentation for the appropriate server for this information.
AC System Power Requirements
Please refer to the Site Survey or documentation for the appropriate server for this information.
DC System Power Requirements
DC power is not available for separate servers.
Maintenance Modem
A direct-dial phone line must be dedicated to each maintenance modem. A regular phone line
should be used. The maintenance modems enable Avaya personnel to dial into the system
directly for remote support such as running diagnostics, troubleshooting, and updating sof tware.
Conference Server Maintenance Modem
The Conference Server uses a Multi-Tech modem. A special cable is supplied to connect the
the mini-DB9 COM2 connector on the rear of the CPU (CPU transition card). The COM1
connector on the front or back of the CPU cannot be used for the maintenance modem.
Server Maintenance Modems
Other servers use a US Robotics (USR) modem with a standard DB9 cable.
Issue 1 July 2006 21
Getting Started
LAN Cabling
The CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server LAN interface connects to an Ethernet network
by up to 100 meters of Category 5 or 5e cable.
The network should be partitioned to keep average network traffic levels to 60% utilization or
less. Additionally, the LAN cabling must comply with all national codes.
Keep cable runs between systems and concentrators short and reasonably clear of electrical
noise sources such as motors and fluorescent lighting. The specifications for the amount of
disturbance that can be introduced into the link between the system and the concentrator are
defined in the 8802.3 standard. The link including all connectors and patch cables must meet
these specifications.
You can measure compliance directly by using cable testers from third parties specifically
designed for qualifying 10/100 Base-T links. These testers verify the physical characteristics of
the cable and connectors and can perform the tests for noise specified in the 8802.3 standard to
verify that the link can provide reliable operation.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: Do not use “Silver Satin” cable for any portion of the link. It does not meet the
requirements for 10BaseT transmission.
See the following technical references if further wiring information is required:
● EIA/TIA 568 (Standard for structured premises wiring in North America.)
● ISO/IEC DIS11801 (Draft international standard for building wiring.)
The Avaya CS700/ 780 Platforms supports redundant failover networks.
Note:
Note: The Avaya CS700/ 780 Platforms uses the same identity on both the primary and
fallback networks, so it cannot be dual homed.
T3 System LAN Cabling
T3 systems include a Netgear 5-port hub used to connect the CS700/CS780 Audio
Conferencing Server to the T3 cards. The customer LAN connects to the Netgear hub instead of
directly to the CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server. (The T3 cards download their
operating system from the CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server. The private hub allows
faster downloads than routing through the customer LAN.)
22 Installing the CS700/CS780 Audio Conferencing Server
Network Cabling
T1/E1/ISDN Network Cabling
T1/E1/ISDN network cabling is shielded twisted pair (one pair transmit, one pair receive). If the
cable is continuous to the CSU, PBX, or channel bank, the shield must be grounded to the
frame ground at that end. If there is a DSX or other break in the cable, the shield must be
connected to the shield of the other cable. The maximum cable length is 655 feet. A CSU may
be used to drive signals greater distances.
A CSU is required for T1 or T1 ISDN connection to public telephone networks.
The local phone company can recommend or rent a CSU to the customer. Many kinds of CSUs
are available. The CSU selected must include:
● Remote loopbacks for testing repeated T1 lines from the telephone office
● Terminating repeater power (up to ±130 Vdc)
Network Cabling
● Alarming
● Provision for an all 1s signal to the T1 lines, if the conference system is serviced (also
called blue signal or keep alive signal)
Customers have additional requirements if they need a system to connect to more than one
telephone network. The system can be configured to synch to the first T1. Since there may be
large accumulated jitter at the end points of two T1 networks, the CSUs in these cases require
large buffers to attenuate the jitter between networks. Without adequate jitter attenuation,
excessive frame slips will occur. Avaya recommends the customer discuss these requirements
with the network provider.
If possible, network connections should be terminated in a main distribution frame located at th e
top of the rack containing the CS700/CS780 Conference Bridge.
T3 Network Cabling
T3 network cabling is coaxial cable (one cable transmit, one cable receive) terminated in BNC
connectors.
If possible, network connections should be terminated in a main distribution frame located at th e
top of the rack containing the CS700/CS780 Conference Bridge.
