B5800 Branch Gateway overview

System components

The B5800 Branch Gateway system is comprised of the following hardware components.

• B5800 Branch Gateway control unit — B5800 Branch Gateway is supported on the

IP500v2 platform or on the B5800 Branch Gateway hardware platform which is based on

IP500v2. The B5800 Branch Gateway control unit stores the system configuration and performs the routing and switching for telephone calls and data traffic. It includes 4 slots for optional base cards to support trunk and phone extension ports. The slots are numbered 1 to 4 from left to right. They can be used in any order; however, if the capacity for a particular type of card is exceeded, the card in the right-most slot will be disabled.

• B5800 Branch Gateway System SD card — The B5800 Branch Gateway System SD card is a specific Avaya SD card that is required. It determines the system operation as

B5800 Branch Gateway. It is uniquely numbered and has a serial number that must be used as the Host ID in the PLDS license file if the B5800 Branch Gateway is operating with an individual license file and not with WebLM licensing. The B5800 Branch Gateway

System SD card also provides Embedded Voicemail support and storage for system software files. The card fits into a slot in the rear of the control unit.

• Base cards — The control unit has slots for up to 4 base cards. The base cards are used to add analog extension ports, digital extension ports, and voice compression channels.

Each base card includes an integral front panel with ports for cable connections. The following base cards are supported:

- Digital station base card — This card provides 8 digital station (DS) ports for the connection of Avaya digital phones other than IP phones. The card can be fitted with a trunk daughter card which uses the base card ports for trunk connection. A maximum of 3 digital station base cards are allowed per control unit.

- Analog phone base card — This card is available in two variants, supporting either

2 or 8 analog phone ports. The card can be fitted with a trunk daughter card which uses the base card ports for trunk connection. A maximum of 4 analog phone base cards are allowed per control unit. The analog phone ports do not include a ringing capacitor. Where this is a requirement, connection should be via a Master socket containing ringing capacitors. If fitted with an analog trunk daughter card, during power failure phone port 8 is connected to analog trunk port 12.

- VCM base card — This card is available in variants supporting either 32 or 64 Voice

Compression Channels (VCM) for use with VoIP calls. A maximum of 2 VCM base cards are allowed per control unit. The card can be fitted with a trunk daughter card which uses the base card ports for trunk connection.

- 4–port expansion base card — This card adds an additional 4 expansion ports for external expansion modules. The card is supplied with four 2m yellow interconnect cables. This card does not accept any trunk daughter cards. A maximum of 1 4–port

expansion base card is allowed per control unit (right-hand slot 4 only). See External

modules.

- BRI combination card — This card provides 6 digital station ports (1-6), 2 analog extension ports (7-8) and 2 BRI trunk ports (9-10, 4 channels). The card also includes

10 VCM channels. This card has a pre-installed BRI trunk daughter card. A maximum of 2 BRI combination cards of any type are allowed per control unit.

- ATM combination card — This card provides 6 digital station ports (1-6), 2 analog extension ports (7-8) and 4 analog trunk ports (9-12). The card also includes 10 VCM channels. This card has a pre-installed analog trunk daughter card. A maximum of

2 ATM combination cards of any type are allowed per control unit. The analog phone ports do not include a ringing capacitor. Where this is a requirement, connection should be via a Master socket containing ringing capacitors. If fitted with an analog trunk daughter card, during power failure phone port 8 is connected to analog trunk port 12.

- TCM 8 card — This card provides 8 digital station ports (1-8).

• Trunk daughter cards — Most base cards can be fitted with a trunk daughter card to support the connection of trunks to the base card. The following trunk daughter cards are supported:

- Analog trunk card — This card allows the base card to support 4 analog loop-start trunks. The analog phone ports do not include a ringing capacitor. Where this is a requirement, connection should be via a Master socket containing ringing capacitors.

If fitted with an analog trunk daughter card, during power failure phone port 8 is connected to analog trunk port 12. A maximum of 4 analog trunk cards are allowed per control unit.

- BRI trunk card — This card allows the base card to support up to 4 BRI trunk connections, each trunk providing 2B+D digital channels. The card is available in 2 port (4 channels) and 4 port (8 channels) variants. A maximum of 4 BRI trunk cards are allowed per control unit. For S-Bus connection, the card can be switched from

To trunk mode to So mode. This mode requires additional terminating resistors and an ISDN crossover cable connection.

- PRI trunk card — This card allows the base card to support up to 2 PRI trunk connections. The card is available in single and dual port variants. The card can be configured for E1 PRI, T1 robbed bit, T1 PRI or E1R2 PRI trunks. A maximum of 4

PRI trunk cards are allowed per control unit. The B5800 Branch Gateway system supports 8 unlicensed B-channels on each IP500 PRI-U port fitted. Additional Bchannels, up to the capacity of ports installed and PRI mode selected require

Universal PRI (Additional Channels) licenses added to the configuration. These additional channels consume the licenses based on which additional channels are configured as in-service from port 9 of slot 1 upwards. D-channels are not affected by licensing.

• Combination cards — Combination cards are pre-paired base and trunk daughter cards.

They provide 6 digital station ports, 2 analog phone ports, 10 VCM channels and either

4 analog trunk ports or 4 BRI channels (2 ports). The trunk daughter card cannot be removed or replaced with another type of trunk daughter card.

• External expansion modules — External expansion modules are used to add additional analog and digital ports. If the control unit is fitted with a 4–port expansion base card, then up to 12 external expansion modules are supported. The following external expansion modules are supported:

- Analog trunk module — This module rovides an additional 16 analog ports for connection of analog trunks. It supports both loop-start and ground-start trunks.

- BRI So8 module — This module provides 8 ETSI BRI-So ports for the connection of ISDN devices. This module is not intended to support BRI trunks.

- Digital station module — This module provides, depending on variant, an additional 16 or 30 DS ports for supported Avaya digital phones.

- Phone module — This module provides, depending on variant, an additional 16 or

30 phone ports for analog phones.

• Power supplies — The control unit has an internal power supply unit. Each external expansion module is supplied with an external power supply unit. Additional power supply units may also be required for IP phones and some phone add-ons.

• Power cords — Depending on the locale, different power cords need to be ordered for each control unit, external expansion module, and any phones or devices using external power supply units.

• Mounting kits — The control unit can be used free-standing, with external expansion modules stacked above it. With optional rack mounting kits, the control unit and external expansion modules can also be rack mounted. Alternatively, with an optional wall mounting kit the control unit can be wall mounted. However, the control unit cannot support any external expansion modules when wall mounted.

• Surge protectors and barrier boxes — Where the installation includes extensions in other buildings, additional protective equipment is required. This equipment may also be required in areas where the lightning risk is high.

• Phones — B5800 Branch Gateway systems support a variety of Avaya digital and IP phones plus analog phones.

• Application DVDs — The B5800 Branch Gateway applications can be ordered on a number of DVDs. In addition they can be downloaded from the B5800 Branch Gateway section of the Avaya support web site (http://support.avaya.com).
