TGM550 Telephony Gateway Module

The TGM550 Telephony Gateway Module (Figure 41), also known as the TGM550 Gateway Module, has two analog telephone ports, two analog trunk ports, and a serial console port.

The TGM550 enables routers to provide VoIP services to telephones and trunks that do not directly support VoIP by translating voice and signaling data between VoIP and the system used by the telephones and trunks.

The TGM550 provides the following key features:

Table 36 lists the maximum number of media servers, telephones, and so on that are supported by the TGM550 installed on a J4350 or J6350 or J2320 or J2350 Services Router.

Additional Information

TGM550s that can be controlled by an Avaya S8500 or S8700 Media Server

250

This number also applies if a combination of Avaya G700 Media Gateways, G250 Media Gateways, and G350 Media Gateways are controlled by the same media server.

TGM550s that can be controlled by an Avaya S8400 Media Server

5

This number also applies if a combination of Avaya G700 Media Gateways, G250 Media Gateways, and G350 Media Gateways are controlled by the same media server.

TGM550s that can be controlled by an Avaya S8300 Media Server

49

This capacity is 50 if a combination of Avaya G700 Media Gateways, G250 Media Gateways, and G350 Media Gateways are controlled by the same media server.

The S8300 must reside in a G700 or G350 media gateway. Therefore, the maximum of 50 H.248 gateways supported by the S8300 means that only 49 of the 50 can be TGM550s.

Media servers that can be registered as Media Gateway Controllers (MGCs) on a TGM550

4

If an MGC becomes unavailable, the TGM550 uses the next MGC on the list. The built-in SLS module can be considered as a fifth MGC, although its functionality is limited than that of a full-scale media server.

Fixed analog line ports

2

Fixed analog trunk ports

2

Digital signal processors (DSPs)

1 (up to 80 channels)

For calls using voice codec sets with 20-millisecond-or-higher packet sizes, the DSP supports:

  • 80 channels
  • 20 channels
  • 10 channels

For calls with 10-millisecond-or-lower packet sizes, the 80–channel DSP supports 40 channels.

For TTY, fax, or modem over IP calls, the 80–channel DSP supports 40 channels.

Busy Hour Call Completion Rate (BHCC)

800

Total of IP and analog telephones that can be connected to a TGM550 and TIMs

70 (J4350)

100 (J6350)

Maximum includes a combination of analog and IP telephones

Touch-tone recognition (TTR)

32

Receivers

Tone generation

As much as necessary for all TDM calls.

Announcements (VAL)

16 playback channels for playing announcements, one of which can be used for recording

20 minutes for G711-quality stored announcements and music-on-hold.

256 maximum announcements stored

Caution: Some capacities may change. For the most recent list, see the Avaya manual System Capacities Table for Avaya Communication Manager on Avaya Media Servers.
