This document contains the Avaya Aura® Communication Manger Release 7.0 system software-defined capacities information for all appliances and
equivalent software only offers of the Avaya Aura® Communication Manager. This document also includes capacity information for ASAI, Messaging, and
Call Center. This document does not contain capacities for Communication Manager Branch Edition, Communication Manager Essential Edition, and
Session Manager.
Both software-defined limits and offer limits are provided in the capacities table of the Avaya Aura® Communication Manger Release 7.0. The offer limits
are highlighted in tan for easy identification. They may be enforced by license files, or they may be enforced by Avaya support policy.
The capacities table in this document is the basis for the offer-based system capacities table posted on the Avaya web site which is frequently accessed
by the Avaya sales people, offer managers, and customers. When the offer limits are less than the corresponding software limits, the web document
shows only the offer limits.
Because the information compiled here is obtained from various sources, the authors appreciate a review of the document by a wider audience. This helps
to reduce errors or inconsistencies and to refine the information contained in these tables. MRs must be written against this document for any changes
related to capacities.

1
Tone Detectors: G700 and G350 have a limit of 15 Tone Detectors, which is sufficient for most call center applications considering the smaller overall capacity; but if many
calls have long tone detector holding time it may not support all the trunk capacity. Configurations have to be traffic engineered. This has always been the case but it is
even more critical with H.248 gateways because resources tend to be dedicated on a per-gateway basis, compared to the multi-connect configuration with port networks
where the resources are pooled across the configuration.
2
ASAI Switch Classified calls (for Predictive Dialing and Communication Manager applications) function for trunks on H.248 gateways starting with Release 2.2.
The limits in the following table are defined by capacities on CMS R18.0 and not by CM structures. For

Endnotes
The capacities table for Communication Manager Release 7.0 contains Communication Manager offer limits.
These endnotes explain some of the contents in the Capacities Table and some of the major offer limits. Special
Applications-based capacity differences are highlighted in green.
For information regarding end-of-sale of platforms such as G3R and G3si, see the introduction and the notes in
the beginning of the capacities table.
* The software-defined capacity may not be reachable due to hardware and/or processor capacity limits
for the platform.
1 Documentation disclaimer: The capacities specified in this table pertain to general business
configurations and may not be valid or recommended for Contact Center (CC) solutions.
Simultaneously achieving the upper bounds for multiple capacities may not be possible for real-world
CC systems. Call rates and other operational aspects of these CC systems may preclude realizing the
maximum limits. Contact the Sales Factory Design Center for assistance with specifying Contact
Center solutions and capacities.
2 System Management sessions are used for system administration and maintenance purposes, and
some of the platforms allow multiple simultaneous sessions. The Simultaneous System Management
Sessions states row the number of simultaneous sessions each offer supports. However, besides
human administrators, the following types of sessions may also be using some of this capacity.
EPN maintenance ports: 1
Dial in or dial out requests: 1 for each direction
Management Information Systems: 1
CLAN ports: 1
The system also limits the number of simultaneous administration commands such as add and
change, as long as they are not accessing the same data. The Simultaneous Admin Commands row
gives the number of these allowed. For example, two administrators cannot change the same station
simultaneously. Commands such as test, busyout, release, and status are maintenance commands.
The Simultaneous Maintenance Commands row gives the number of simultaneous maintenance
commands that can be issued in addition to the administration commands, as long as they are not
accessing the same data and the command is not designated as a single user command.
3 In previous releases this feature was supported only on Fiber-Connected Port Networks (ATM or
Direct-Connect or the center stage switch (CSS)), but CM 6.0 support for fiber connections is only
using CSS, and then only for federal government use.
4 SA9050 provides 32 routing plans and time of day charts on the Main / Survivable Core Duplex, Main
/ Survivable Core Simplex, Survivable Remote Simplex 140, and Survivable Remote Embedded 140
offer. SA9050 provides 8 routing plans and time of day charts on the Main Embedded offer.
4.1 The TN799 (C-LAN) circuit pack has one Ethernet connection and 16 PPP connections. The sum of
links via PPP and Ethernet ports has to be less than the maximum number of communication-interface
links per switch. IP Routes refers to the size of the IP routing table accessed by the change ip-route
command.
CLAN boards need to be in a port network. Port networks cannot be used with S8300D. PPP links are
not supported via the processor Ethernet interface.
4.3 The system supports 10 QSIG hunt groups, but the number of messaging adjuncts depends on the PRI
signaling groups in the system.
4.4 This shows the number of agent-split combinations supported. Agent-split pairs is the total combination
used by ACD agents, Auto-Available Splits (AAS) ports (for example, VRUs), non-ACD hunt groups
(groups with or without queues, Message Center Service, INTUITY AUDIX®, Remote AUDIX®, etc.).
Each non-ACD hunt group member, AAS split member, and split assigned to an ACD agent is counted
when administered. CMS R18 is required for the increase to 360,000.
4.5 The number of CMS adjuncts using TN799 circuit packs (C-LAN) for connectivity to the switch counts
toward the maximum capacity of C-LANs. The servers also provide LAN connectivity through their
native NICs and do not use C-LAN boards.
4.6 Administer the links over the TN799 circuit pack (C-LAN) or over the Processor Ethernet (procr).
5 An agent can be assigned more splits during administration but only this number can be simultaneously
logged into.
6 The maximum Members per Group limits limit the number of agents that can log into the same
split/skill. Maximum agent limits are reduced by the number of non-ACD members and AAS ports
administered, and with non-EAS, the additional splits assigned to agents that are not logged into.
7 Queue slots are shared across non-ACD, ACD (splits/skills) and AAS hunt groups.
NOTE: The capacity limits for System and Per Group Queue Slots are not applicable with platforms
that run Communication Manager Release 2.1 or later due to the Dynamic Hunt Group Queue Slot
Allocation feature. Hunt group queue slots are allocated on an as-needed basis allowing all calls that
are possible to be in queue as the default. The previous hunt group Queue Length field became a
Queue Limit field with specified limits carried forward in an upgrade. The common pool of queue slots
is 5,000 for the Main Embedded and Survivable Remote Embedded 140 offer and 15,000 for the
Main/Survivable Core Duplex, Main/Survivable Core Simplex and Survivable Remote Simplex 140
offers.
10.2 Crisis Alert Stations: Crisis Alert buttons can be administered on attendant consoles and 10 additional
digital stations. Prior to 6.2, special application, SA8608, increases this capacity to 250 Crisis Alert
digital stations. With 6.2, special application SA8608 increases the capacity of Crisis Alert digital
stations to 750.
11 The number of release link trunk groups counts towards the total number of trunk groups in the system.
12 This does not include MLPP. With MLPP the limit is 17 for all platforms.
12.1 The BCMS monitor split command shows the status for the first 100 agents logged into the split,
regardless of how many additional agents log into the split.
12.2 BCMS monitoring is a maintenance process and is limited by the active maintenance commands limit,
as shown in row "Simultaneous Maintenance Commands". This should be reduced by 3 to reserve
command slots for INADS and SAT logins.
13 EPNs:
The entries reflect the PNs, and in brackets, the number of stacked cabinets per PN.
In a Mixed PNC environment, scalability increases for Center Stage Switch (CSS) by expanding the
number of total port networks to 64. The CSS is limited to a maximum of 44 PNs, but another 20 (or
more depending on how many PNs are part of the CSS) can be IP Bearer connected, for a maximum of
64. CM 6.0 support for fiber connections is only using the center stage switch, and then only for
government use.
14 The total number of trunks in trunk groups that are assigned as measured externally or “both” for CMS
and/or IQ tracking and reporting is limited to 12,000 trunks. Also trunk groups with a signaling group
defined as “IMS” (IP Multimedia Subsystem) for SIP links with Session Manager (SM) cannot be
assigned as measured by BCMS or external reporting adjuncts. The expanded virtual trunk port
number range to T24000 will be supported by the reporting adjuncts.
15 There can be up to 16 Bridged Call Appearances for a primary phone’s extension (not call appearance
button) if ASAI is used. Otherwise, 1250 principal stations can each have up to 63 other stations with
bridged appearances of the principal station. After that, the 1251st principal station through the
principal station that hits the system-wide maximum number of bridged appearances are limited to
having only 25 other stations with bridged appearances of the principal station.
Special Application SA9018 increases the number of Bridged Call Appearances for a primary’s call
appearance to 255.
16 The number of call appearances is the sum of primary and bridged appearances. The Max Call
Appearances per Ext row gives the maximum that can be primary.
A maximum of 54 administrable buttons is supported on the 7434 terminal without display.
A maximum 52 call appearances is supported on the 8434 terminal with display and expansion module.
A maximum 96 administrable buttons is supported on the 9630, 9640, and 9650 IP telephones with 3
button modules.
17 This maximum varies depending on the number of parties already on the call, on the calling and called
parties’ sides. The 7-parties maximum number of parties on a call is the guiding principle.
18 To administer announcements greater than 256, specifically refer to an announcement number greater
than 256. For example, use change announcement 300. The administrator then has access to
another 16 pages and so on.
For hunt group announcements greater than 256, the Call Center Release must be Release 8.1 or
later.
19 Shared extensions must be shared among all attendant groups in the system including Tenant
Partitions.
20 Special Application SA8661 provides 2050 automatic wakeup requests in a 15-min. interval.
20.1 VDNs are counted as part of the miscellaneous extensions capacity which includes VDNs, hunt groups,
announcements, LDNs, TEGs, PCOL groups, access endpoints, administered TSCs, and Code Calling
IDs extensions and common shared extensions.
The total of stations (station extensions including ACD agent physical set extensions, Logical Agent IDs
and AWOH) assigned cannot exceed the platform Station Extensions limit.
The total of all extensions assigned for any purpose cannot exceed the platform Maximum Extensions
limit (See the Dial Plan section for details).
20.5 BSR (Best Service Routing) application numbers are limited to 511, and location numbers are limited to
255.
21 Simultaneous 3-way Conference Calls. For non-IP endpoints on systems using port networks, the limit
equals the number of time slots for voice per port network (484) divided by 3, then rounded down, then
multiplied by the number of Port Networks. See Maximum Port Networks row
For non-IP endpoints on systems using H.248 media gateways, the limit equals the number of time
slots for voice per media gateway divided by 3, then rounded down, then multiplied by the number of
media gateways. See endnote 61 and the System-wide Maximum H.248 media gateways row."
If IP endpoints are involved, a VoIP resource is used up. The available number of VOIP resources
limits the number of such calls with IP endpoints.
For the Main Embedded and Survivable Remote Embedded 140 offers, the number of simultaneous 3-
way conference calls depends on the gateway the S8300D is embedded in. The following numbers do
not include subtending media gateways.
S8300D embedded in a G430 or G350 or G250: 157
S8300D embedded in a G450 or G700: 137
22 Simultaneous 6-way Conference Calls. For non-IP endpoints on systems using port networks, the limit
equals the number of time slots for voice per port network (484) divided by 6, then rounded down, then
multiplied by the number of Port Networks. See Maximum Port Networks row.
For non-IP endpoints on systems using H.248 media gateways, the limit equals the number of time
slots for voice per media gateway divided by 6, then rounded down, then multiplied by the number of
media gateways. See endnote 61 and the System-wide Maximum H.248 media gateways row.
If IP endpoints are involved, a VoIP resource is used up. The available number of VOIP resources
limits the number of such calls with IP endpoints.
For the Main Embedded, Survivable Remote Embedded 140 offers, the number of simultaneous 6-way
conference calls depends on the gateway the S8300D is embedded in. The following numbers do not
include subtending media gateways.
S8300D embedded in a G430 or G350 or G250: 78
S8300D embedded in a G450 or G700: 68
23 In practice, customers with RLT trunks also have DCS trunks, which limit them to 63 RLT nodes and 63
RLT trunk groups at the main server.
24 The Maximum Extensions limit is the total number of defined extensions for any use. Included in this
count are station extensions, miscellaneous extensions, data extensions, PRI endpoint extensions and
terminating extension groups.
24.1 Station extensions consist of attendant extensions, station set assignments (including ACD agent
physical sets), AWOH (administration without hardware) and administered Logical Agent IDs
extensions.
25 Miscellaneous extensions consist of VDNs, hunt groups, announcements, LDNs, PCOL groups,
common shared extensions, access endpoints, administered TSCs, Code Calling IDs, TEGs, Paging
zones, and Phantom ACAs. Access Endpoints are tied to the number of trunks, not the number of trunk
groups.
26 Special Application SA8993 increases Music on Hold Sources to 250 for all offers.
28 Number of Names = number of stations + attendant consoles + trunk groups + digital data endpoints +
miscellaneous extensions.
28.1 Total of the administered Login ID skill-pair members (for agents and AAS ports).
28.3 Number of agent-skill combinations supported. Agent-skill pairs is the total combination used by ACD
agents, Auto-Available Skills (AAS) ports (for example, VRUs), non-ACD hunt groups (groups with or
without queues, Message Center Service, INTUITY AUDIX®, Remote AUDIX®, etc.). Each non-ACD
hunt group member and AAS skill member is counted when administered. Each skill assigned to an
EAS agent is counted as an ACD member when the EAS agent logs in, not when administered. CMS
R18 is required for the increase to 360,000.
28.4 This limit may not be reachable depending on how many skills are assigned per Login ID due to the
ACD Members Administered (Login ID-skill pair) limits. Login ID limits for different numbers of skills per
Login ID are:
Maximum Login IDs with Main/Survivable Core Main Embedded and
Duplex, Main/Survivable Survivable Remote
Core Simplex and Survivable Embedded 140 templates
Remote Simplex 140 Offer
1 Skill Each 30,000 1,500
20 Skills Each 30,000 300
60 Skills Each 16,666 N.A.
120 Skills Each 8,333 N.A.
Max Administered ACD Members (login ID / Agent-Skill pairs) shows the Login ID-Skill pair limit for
each server.
28.5 Hunt group members include non-ACD (hunting, Message Center Service, INTUITY AUDIX®, Remote
AUDIX®, etc.) and ACD uses (splits or skills including Auto-Available Splits/Skills). Each ACD agent-
split/skill assignment counts as a hunt group member.
28.6 This capacity is supported only with ucd-mia and ead-mia hunt group types and optionally with ucd-
loa and ead-loa using the bucket occupancy algorithm. Otherwise the capacity is 1,500 agents in a
skill. The bucket algorithm changes the occupancy selection to a more granular/coarse approach.
When the option is active and more than 3K agents have assigned to the same skill, the algorithm for
agent selection based on LOA switches over to a bucket algorithm (with 5% increment buckets). Note
that PAD and SLM types are still limited to 1,500.
28.7 SIP Contact Center (SIP EAS agent) is a new functionality introduced in 6.3. The limit of 5,000 SIP
agents is within the system limit of agents (row 1655). SIP agent is treated as a normal agent and is
subjected to existing capacity limitations of the system.
29 Last Number Dialed Entries = stations + digital data endpoints + attendant consoles.
33 Special Application SA8927 increases the number of speakerphone paging groups to 999 on the
Main/Survivable Core Duplex, Main/Survivable Core Simplex and Survivable Remote Simplex 140, and
Survivable Remote Embedded 140 offer, and to 256 on the Main Embedded offer.
34 Only port slots are included in this count. For example, there are 100 slots per MCC EPN cabinet with
99 port slots and one slot dedicated for the Tone Clock circuit pack. There may be other service circuits
required that would further reduce the number of port slots available.
35 Special Application SA9096 increases the members per speakerphone paging group to 127 for all
offers.
36 “Simultaneous calls in CM” is equal to the number of call record data structures allocated for the server
platform. This was traditionally determined using 242 Simultaneous Circuit Switched Calls per port
network. Multimedia calls tend to be multi-party calls.
Calls involving circuit switched endpoints will also be limited by the Total Time Slots in CM row. For
example, the maximum number of calls between two circuit switched endpoints on a Main Embedded
or Survivable Remote Embedded 140 offer running embedded in a G450 would be 512/2 = 256. Calls
involving only IP endpoints would not have this limitation if CM is configured to use IP-IP direct media.
See Communication Manager Hardware and Traffic Guidelines for further details.
38 484 time slots for voice and data per port network.
39 The system uses the port network TN744 Call Classifier/Detector for basic TTR use as well as call
prompting/call classification/MFC. With H.248 IP gateways (for example, G450) the embedded
processor circuit pack provides local tone detectors.
The number of TN744 circuit packs is limited by the number of available slots.
There is a single limit on the total number of tone receiver (classifier) ports for the system.
TN744 has 8 ports for call prompting/call classification/MFC/TTR/GPTD use.
The IPSIs (TN2312BP IP server interface) have 8 TTR resources embedded within them.
The G250 TTR limits are in endnote 124 Current Gateway Capacities
The G350 TTR limits are in endnote 124 Current Gateway Capacities
The G700 TTR limits are in endnote 124 Current Gateway Capacities
The G430 TTR limits are in endnote 124 Current Gateway Capacities
The G450 TTR limits are in endnote 124 Current Gateway Capacities
The TTR capacity of the G700 affects the Busy Hour Call Capacity, especially the Call Center call mix.
In an IP-Connected configuration, TTRs can only be used to serve calls local to the gateway. They
cannot be shared across media gateways /PNGs.
41 Call Associated Temporary Signaling Connections (CA-TSCs) are associated with DCS and older
AUDIX® integration methods. They are not used by QSIG or SIP. QSIG uses Non Call Associated
TSCs.
42 The TN2185 BRI Trunk circuit pack, the MM720 and MM721 provide 8 ports. The TN556B and TN2198
provide 12 ports. Each port (2B + D) provides 2 BRI trunks.
42.2 More information regarding BRI trunks (including TN2185, TN556 (suffix C and later), MM722, MM721,
and MM720 that are administered with the add bri trunk command). CM supports the number of BRI
trunk circuit packs shown in the BRI Trunk Circuit Packs row. This includes TN2185, TN556 (suffix C
and later), MM722, MM 721, and MM720 that are administered with the add bri trunk command. The
TN720 can be either NT or TE mode, but as long as it is administered as a trunk circuit pack it counts
towards that maximum.
CM limits media gateways to the numbers shown in the System-wide Maximum H.248 media gateways
row. This can be any combination of G700, G450, G430, G350, and G250. BRI board limits are also
based on the types of media gateway and how many Media Modules (MM) they can support.
G450 supports a maximum of 8 MMs per gateway.
G430 supports a maximum of 3 MMs per gateway.
G700 supports a maximum of 4 MMs per gateway.
G350 supports a maximum of 6 MMs per gateway
G250-BRI supports no MMs, but has 2 native BRI interfaces (4B + 2D) per gateway.
CM will likely run into the BRI trunk circuit pack limits before running into the maximum BRI
trunks limits. With a MM720, if you use all 16 ports on each MM you get up to 250 x 16 = 4000
trunks on the Main/Survivable Core Duplex, Main/Survivable Core Simplex, Survivable
Remote Simplex and Survivable Remote Embedded 140 offer, and 50 x 16 = 800 trunks on the
Main Embedded offer. These are less than the limits on the Administered BRI Trunks in CM
row.
42.3 The 6,000 maximum is based on the following. Each TN556 BRI circuit pack supports 12 ports; each
port supports 2 B-Channels per port. 250 x 24 = 6,000.
If BRI trunks are used to connect to the PSTN, TN2185, MM720 or MM721 is more commonly used,
which support 8 ports (16 B-Channel), giving a total of 4000 (250 x 16) trunks.
If MM722 or the MM721 (2-port BRI circuit pack) is used, the capacity is further reduced.
43 The following items use extensions, and so can reduce the total number of available extensions on a
switch:
Analog Music-On-Hold
Attendants
Modem Pool Conversion Resources
TAAS Port
Stations (Digital, display, BRI, etc.)
Analog Announcements
Analog External Alarm Port
EAS Agent Login Ids
ACD Agents
MM720 and MM721 support 8 ports (on G450 gateway), and multipoint configuration with 2 B-channels
per port. Thus the MM720 and MM721 can support 16 BRI stations. The multipoint configuration
requires an external data module.

To avoid changing the Channel Block Management (large blocks vs small blocks) strategy, this will be left as 3
slots.
45.1 The Logged-In IP Softphone Agents field on the System-Parameters Customer-Options form, which
counts the ACD agents (either non-EAS or EAS) logging in with IP softphones for display purposes, is

Maximum Concurrently Registered IP Stations field.
46 Including extensions administered without associated hardware. See the Dial Plan section of the
Capacities Table for more details.
47 An H.323 Softphone operating in shared control with a H.323 telephone with the same extension will

50 Due to a downlink buffer overflow problem, Group Page with Speakerphone does not work with
TN754A or TN754B. Minimum vintage of TN754C is required. Earlier vintage circuit packs may cause
lost messages, pages not terminating, phantom ringing, invalid displays, etc.
51 There are 2 Polycom SpectraLink® in-building wireless offers: the 900 MHz system and the 24GHz
system called the IP Wireless Telephone System. The 900 MHz phone (3410) is administered on CM
as 8410; the 2.4GHZ phone (3606) is administered as 4606. The Polycom SpectraLink® wireless user
maximum is based on the station user maximum.
52 A SIP station-to-station call counts as one call towards the Simultaneous Calls in CM row. However,
the SIP half-call model means that each SIP station on the call is using two SIP trunks. This limits
simultaneous SIP call capacity. The limits shown already have taken this into account. A SIP to H.323
call would use only half as much SIP resources.
53 Endnote removed.
54 There are two ways to collect CDR records: Legacy CDR and Survivable CDR.
In the Legacy method, the CM switch outputs the CDR data records in a near real time stream via an IP
link to an external CDR collection devices such as a third party CDR adjunct device or a terminal
server. When outputting to the third party adjunct, the data can be transmitted using standard TCP/IP
or via the Avaya propriety Reliable Session Protocol (RSP).
In the Survivable CDR method, the CDR data records are stored in data files on the CM server's hard
drive and then collected by a third party CDR adjunct using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). The
Survivable CDR method provides encrypted transfers of the CDR data records from the server to the
adjunct.
54.1 CM servers can buffer the number of records shown on the Max Number of CDR Records That Can Be
Buffered in the Switch row. The second number, 1,900 is a watermark number. Assume both primary
and secondary CDR devices are up, then if the buffered records (there is one buffer only) reaches 1900
or higher, the secondary CDR is dropped down for 2 minutes. The primary CDR continues to be up
and sending records. This indicates that secondary CDR device should not be used for sending
records, but for debug, etc. In most cases, only the primary CDR device is used.
55 The Survivable CDR feature allows CDR records to be stored on the hard disk of the server (main,
survivable remote (formerly LSP), or survivable core (formerly ESS) rather than being transmitted to the
CDR adjunct through an IP link. Once the CDR data is stored on the local hard drive the CDR adjunct
must login to the server and retrieve the CDR data files that are saved there.
Each server is capable of saving up to 20 CDR data files, each with up to 20 megabytes per file. When
the twenty-first file is created, the oldest CDR data file is automatically deleted thereby maintaining the
twenty file maximum.
Individual CDR record length may vary from 59 characters per record in the LSU formats up to 155
characters per record in the maximum size customized format. Customers select the format that best
meets their needs. The most popular CDR format is the unformatted format which contains 107
characters. A single CDR data file can hold anywhere from a little over 76.5K records per file up to
355.4 records per file depending on the selected format.
56 Special Application SA8993 increases the number of music sources to 250 for all platforms.
57 H.235.5 (Annex H) Stations are limited by offer. They are not limited by CM software nor by CM license
software, other than the Maximum Concurrently Registered H.323 Stations and the Offer Limit:
Maximum Concurrently Registered H.323 Stations row. If you administer more H.235.5 (Annex H)
stations than the H.235.5 (Annex H) offer limit, recovery re-registration delays after an outage can be
significant.

60 The signaling connections are shared by ISDN, H.323, and SIP signaling groups.
61 For the Main Embedded and Survivable Remote Embedded 140 offer, the number of time slots depends
on the gateway the S8300D is embedded in. The following numbers do not include subtending media
gateways.
62 If the 12,000 trunk administration limit is ever exceeded for fault tolerance, the configuration
must prevent more than 12,000 trunks from ever being active on calls simultaneously.
For IP (H.323 or SIP) trunks to continue to work when the far end of the IP trunk switches to a
survivable server, the near end CM server needs to have twice as many IP trunks configured as will be
in service at any one time. Half of those IP trunks go to the far end main server, and the other half of
those IP trunks go to the far end survivable server. This effectively reduces the maximum number of
administered IP trunks on the near end CM server by a factor of two. Here is an example.
4000 total trunks, normal operation 4000 total trunks, far end in survivable mode
2000 trunks to far end main in use 2000 idle trunks to far end main
2000 idle trunks to far end survivable 2000 trunks to far end survivable in use
In order to provide for SIP-only trunk configurations that can provide fault tolerant service, an exception
to the Administered trunk Limit for the CM-ES is allowed for configurations such as the following.
Customer requires N+1 redundancy for all critical components including: PSTN Access, Session
Border Controller (SBC), CM (Main and Survivable). Trunking typically is to one or the other data center
but each data center and subtending components must be able to handle the full load. For a CM-ES
that includes one or more Survivable Servers with co-located Session Managers, the number of
administered SIP trunks is allowed to exceed the nominal 12,000 trunk limit up to the maximum of
24,000 to accommodate the Session Managers at multiple sites.
No more than 12,000 trunks can be active on calls at one time. In the following example each Session
Manager must be able to handle the full load which means that CM must have full load trunking to each
SM. To enforce this limit, call traffic from the SIP Provider cannot exceed 12K active trunks. The
assumption is that the SIP trunks are distributed across the Session Managers in each Data Center in
this configuration. This restriction on traffic must be enforced outside of the SM/CM configuration. For
example, this can be enforced by a Session Border Controller (SBC) feeding traffic into normally active
the Session Managers in Data Center 1 or Data Center 2.
This relaxation of the trunk administration capacity limit for a CM-ES is driven by customers with
multiple data centers with N+1 requirements to provide for the geographic separation of the Main CM
and its Survivable Servers that have co-located Session Managers.
The Following diagram shows a case where there are no more than 6K active trunks but requires 24K
CM trunks to support the N+1 requirement

63 The overall system limit is not restricted by the type of underlying transport that is used. For example,
either a single Processor Ethernet connection or 10 CLANs will be able to reach 2000 messages per
second on the Main/Survivable Core Duplex, Main/Survivable Core Simplex and Survivable Remote
Simplex 140 offers.

65 This is for tracking features like send all calls, call forwarding, and station busy status. The limit is 64 if
the buttons doing the tracking are on J24 (SUSHI) DCP sets, and as shown in the Buttons per Tracked
Resource row if the buttons doing the tracking are on other set types. CM can administer more than
these, but call processing won't use more than these.
66 Logged-in Agent capacity is limited by the offer through the Logged-In Agent customer option. See the
respective Product Definitions for details.

69 This amount allows users to have 20,000 Enhanced AD entries (implemented as 2 lists), 10,000
personal lists with 20 entries each rather than 100, a System list of 100, and 100 Group lists with 100
entries each. This creates a maximum of 230,100 entries instead of 250,000.
70 Enhanced Abbreviated Dialing consists of 2 lists of 10,000 entries each, rather than one Enhanced AD
list of 20,000 entries. This allows 4-digit dialing via FAC to remain as before. A 20,000 entry list would
have required users to enter 5 digits when dialing via FAC.
71.0 Communication Manager software-based limits may not apply to features because their maximums are
scaled by their associated capacities, set by the License File, or based on the hardware/platform
limitations (boot-time configurations). Some capacities available on the main server may be different
from capacities on a survivable server.
Call Capacities (such as simultaneous 2-way, 3-way or 6-way calls) in the table are for non-IP
endpoints. If IP endpoints are involved, a VoIP resource is used. The available number of VOIP
resources limits the number of such calls with IP endpoints. See endnotes 21 and 22.
The Main Embedded and Survivable Remote Embedded 140 offers don't use the TN-pack based IP
Media Resources TN2302AP and TN2602AP. This is because TN packs need port networks, but
S8300D does not support port networks. The Main Embedded and Survivable Remote Embedded 140
offers IP Media Resources depend on the gateways that the S8300D is embedded in. The sub-sections
below contain gateway-specific information.

71.1 G700
The VOIP engine on the G700 support 64 channels for G.711, and 32 channels for G.729 or G.723.
The MM760 media module also supports 64 channels for G.711 and 32 channels for G.729 or G.723.
VOIP Capacity of a Single G700 Media Gateway (MG) with and without Internal Call
Controller
Note A: Calls between IP Phones depend on the ability of IP Phones to shuffle and the performance of
the LAN.
Note B: The maximum cannot be reached simultaneously with all types of calls that require a VOIP
Port.
On each G700 media gateway, 512 Time-Slots are available, out of which 40 time-slots are used for
Call Progress Tones. Each G700 media gateway can support a maximum of 236 simultaneous non-IP
connections (472 total time-slots divided by 2 time-slots per call). Each G700 media gateway supplies
15 Call Classifiers.
71.4 G350 is targeted at small branch offices of large distributed systems. In a standalone configuration, an
S8300 server on a G350 Media Gateway provides WAN, LAN and PSTN connectivity. Call Center
applications are supported. Embedded AUDIX® (IA770) is supported. G350 has 6 physical slots for
Media Modules.
The following are configuration guidelines, not software-defined capacity limits. See Communication
Manager Hardware and Traffic Guidelines for more details.
o Recommend using 4 slots for voice, 2 for WAN connectivity: 1 slot for High-Density Media
Module (HDMM), 1 slot for Call Controller (S8300), and 4 slots for other media modules. No
G860 R2 increases capacity to 6000 channels and 40,000 BHCC of medium call center traffic
terminating on IP endpoints per CM server with the latest GA version of TN2602AP. When many
G860s are added, the level of availability and scalability is increased, the capacity increases with
multiple Communication Manager servers to provide a solution with G860 to offer more than the 40K
BHC. New solution configurations include a many-to-many mapping of Communication Manager
servers to G860. This multiple mapping is implemented by assigning each T3 circuit pack (TP6310) to
a different Communication Manager server. As many as three active TP6310s may be used in a single
G860 in a 9+3 configuration along with one standby redundant TP6310 (N+1 configuration). Achieve
load balancing by distributing incoming calls based on ANI/DNIS information.
A 9 + 3 configuration refers to nine active T3 interfaces supported by three hot standby TP6310 circuit
packs in which each TP6310 circuit pack supports three x T3 interfaces. The G860 has total of 10 slots.
Four slots are used by primary and redundant shelf controller circuit packs, and Ethernet circuit packs.
Slot 10 is reserved for a redundant standby TP circuit pack, leaving 5 slots for active TP circuit packs.
G860 R2 supports high bandwidth optical interfaces including OC3 (Optical Carrier at 155.52 Mbps)
and STM (Synchronous Transfer Mode) in a 3+1 configuration. This configuration is three T3/OC-
3/STM-1 PSTN interfaces supported by one active TP6310. TP-6310 supports either a single OC-3
interface or 3xDS-3 interfaces. A 3+3 configuration requires one active and one redundant TP-6310
modules. A standby TP6310 may be used in slot 10. This configuration allows G860 R2 to support data
connections in addition to TDM voice calls.
The TGM550 can support 10, 20, or 80 concurrent VoIP calls, depending on which DSP option is
installed. It provides 32 ports of touch tone detection and call classification, 16 announcement ports, 20
minutes of announcements or music, and 256 announcement files. Each gateway provides 120
timeslots.
72 Using multiple subtending gateways allows CM embedded on S8300D to reach the system-wide
capacities. Use the traffic configurator to determine the number of gateways needed per system and
to build a system with the proper configuration.
73 QSIG integrated nodes are not limited by a fixed node capacity. However, the size of a QSIG network
is limited by physical connectivity and the inter-switch dial plan limitations based upon the customer
configuration. With AAR dialing, it is possible to address another user within a QSIG network with up to
a 20-digit number, so it is possible to have large QSIG networks.
74 Endnote removed.
75 The TN799 C-LAN circuit pack supports 300 sockets. This value is configured as default by ASD.
76 Applies to hybrid QSIG/DCS networks. The QSIG portion of the network is unrestricted with respect to
the number of nodes (see note 73). The DCS portion is restricted to the DCS node limitations that
already exist. A switch that acts as a gateway (both DCS and QSIG links) deducts from the overall DCS
node limit.
77 Video calls utilize an internal CM video system resource. Video-enabled stations and trunks whose
signaling groups support video that participate in a video call, each consume units of this internal CM
video system resource for the life of the call. The particular video resource consumption for a call,
depends on the call-flow and is a function of the number of H.323 stations and the number of
H.323/SIP trunks used.
As an example, a video call between two video-capable H.323 stations that use the same CM-ES,
consumes two units of the Video Call Resource, because there are two H.323 stations in use on the
call. The resulting system limit for such calls is described in the row “Number of Simultaneous Video
Calls on a CM-ES”.
As another example, a video call between two video-capable SIP stations that use the same CM-FS,
consumes fours units of the Video Call Resource, because there are four SIP trunks in use on the call.
The resulting system limit for such calls is described in the row “Number of Simultaneous Video Calls
on a CM-FS.”
78 System maximum for all simultaneous in-use IP ports, including stations and trunks. These can be
H.323, SIP, or any combination of H.323 and SIP that does not exceed these limits nor the separate
limits for H.323 and SIP, and the separate limits for stations and trunks.
A system configured to support the maximum numbers of IP ports requires that the signaling groups for
the H.323 trunks be administered to use shared signaling. SIP trunks always use shared signaling.
See Communication Manager Hardware and Traffic Guidelines for further details.

80 If the capacity of CMS exceeds the capacity of the DEFINITY® server or Communication Manager
server for a single ACD configuration, the server capacity takes precedence. Additional capacity is
provided to support the optional Multi-ACD CMS configuration. The capacities shown for CMS
represent the total capacity across all ACDs (total of 8) supported in a Multi-ACD configuration. ACD
Member/Agent Login capacities reflect the maximum number of CMS measured agent-split/skill pairs,
including AAS ports that can be logged-in across 8 ACDs. Capacities for R3V11 or later CMS assume
a limit of 100K agent-skill pairs. Increased agent-skill pair capacity on CMS increase CMS platform
requirements.
81 Endnote removed.
82 The CM 6.0 servers and H.248 media gateways do not support the TN750C announcement circuit
pack. Customers must upgrade to the VAL (Voice Announcement on LAN) circuit pack, and/or use the
Embedded VAL announcement sources on the media gateways.
83 AAS ports are included in the ACD Members, Logged-In Agents and Logged-In IDs Staffed counts on
the Communication Manager Server system. Only measured logged-in ACD agent-split/skill pairs
(including AAS ports) are counted towards the CMS limits.
84 CMS requires allocation of trunk data structures called unmeasured trunks for tracking of agent-to-
agent, bridging, conference, and transfer call sequences that use capacity from the total. The maximum
values for measured trunks and unmeasured trunk facilities are specified for each ACD in the CMS
Data Storage Allocation window on CMS.
Prior to CMS Release 14, the unmeasured trunks were counted along with the measured trunks toward
the system and ACD allocated trunk limit of a total of 40,000 across all ACDs. The recommended
assignment per ACD for unmeasured trunks was 25% of the measured trunks.
With CMS Release 14 and later the measured trunks and unmeasured trunks are treated separately.
Unmeasured trunks are not subtracted from the maximum measured trunks. Data Storage Allocation
recommends that unmeasured trunks be set at 50% of the measured trunks allocated. The
unmeasured system limit is 20,000 (50% of the measured trunk system limit over all ACDs which is
40,000) and the unmeasured limit for an ACD is 6,000 (50% of the measured trunk CM limit for a single
ACD).
All trunks supported on the Communication Manager platform can be assigned as externally measured
by CMS.
85 Maximum call work codes is the number that can be stored in the call work code tables on CMS. This is
not the maximum number that can be collected in call records.
86 Each Supervisor client session may include CMS ASCII terminals, Supervisor, Visual Vectors and
Network Reporting clients.
87 With Communication Manager Release 4.0 and later, a second pair of MIS TCP/IP links is provided for
connecting Avaya IQ, a reporting adjunct. The first pair of links connects CMS, and the second pair
connects Avaya IQ. You can connect a Communication Manager system to both CMS and Avaya IQ,
with both running the same SPI language. High Availability (HA) is supported on both pairs of MIS links.
HA operation on the first pair runs on 2 CMS systems and HA operation on the second pair runs on 2
Avaya IQ systems. HA between CMS and Avaya IQ is not supported. All reporting adjunct systems
connected to the same Communication Manager system must be running the same SPI language. CC
6.0 provides SA9090 that will allow assigning up to 4 of the MIS links for use as CMS links instead of
IQ links.

90 The TN2501AP VAL circuit packs and vVAL media gateway sources do not use compression to store
announcements. All announcement files are recorded as wave files (64 Kbps PCM wave files *.wav,
CCITT u-law/a-law, 8 KHz sampling, 8-bit mono). Announcement file storage requires 8 Kbytes per
second of recording time plus approximately 30 bytes for the header.
91 To save the announcement files to a PC, use LAN connectivity and FTP to backup and restore all
active TN2501 VAL circuit packs and Media Gateway embedded vVAL sources. Transfer the
announcements per file to and from the source and a client PC.
93 The system requires a fixed length account code between 1 and 15 unless SA7991 Variable Length
Account Codes is enabled.

length specified in the Maximum Extension Size row. The prefixed extension length refers to the
number of dialed digits, not the true extension length. For prefixed extensions of length 2-6, the
corresponding administered true extension lengths range from 1-5.
100 In the code base, this number is known as MAXDAC, the maximum number of dial access codes that
are commonly referred to as Feature Access Codes.
101 This is also limited by license, but that limit is also 41,000.
102 This is the total number of trunks permitted in the system. IP trunks are part of this overall maximum.
However, the maximum number of circuit switched trunks, H.323 trunks, and SIP trunks differ. See
rows Administered ISDN+IP Trunks (pool of ISDN, IP, and SIP trunk Ports)", “Maximum administered
H.323 trunks" and “Administered SIP Trunks" for details.
104 Extension to Cellular maximums are based on the limits for the station maximums for the specific
software offers
The number of station records can run out before the limit is reached if EC500 users are configured in a
bridging arrangement that requires 3 station records per EC500 user (1 Principal desk set, and 2
XMOBILE stations as bridges of the 2 Call Appearances of the Principal).
112 In CM 6.0, the Increased Adjunct Route Capacity RTU is automatically enabled in licensing for every
switch that has ASAI enabled. While this RTU is OFF in the fixed feature masks for survivable servers
(formerly LSP/ESS), if the feature is ON for the main server, it will be turned ON for any survivable
server subtending the main server.
114 The Remote Office Feature group, introduced in Communication Manager Release 9.2, provides
connectivity over the WAN.
The maximum Remote Office Gateways is separate and independent from the H.248 Media Gateway
maximum. A system can be configured with all of the following.
PNs as stated on Maximum Port Networks.
H.248 media gateways (mix of G430, G450, etc.) as stated on System-wide Maximum H.248
media gateways.
Remote Offices (MultiTech gateways) as stated on Remote Office Gateways.
The MultiTech gateway is an H.323 managed gateway. From an engineering calculation point-of-view,
one can start with the capacity limits regarding the number of gateways per platform. There is some
interplay to consider. Check Communication Manager server resources for the allowed limits of H.323
endpoints and H.323 trunks.
The MultiTech gateway's stations are managed as H.323 stations that count as IP stations.
The MultiTech gateway's trunks are managed as H.323 trunks.
Communication Manager does not perceive the MultiTech gateway to be a gateway for building tables
and associating stations and trunks together for maintenance, administration, and call processing.
Signaling Groups are supported on the Communication Manager platform. The signaling group
limitation is often encountered as the first hard limit. Customers who add gateways to systems that are
heavily loaded with existing stations and trunks sometimes run into limitations on IP station or trunks.
Each customer is different and Avaya account teams must work with customer engineers on system
configuration.
116 The VSX Video station usually registers to 3 separate extensions as if it were 3 separate stations.
117 Auto/Remote Message Waiting. A Special Application, SA8558, allows a capacity increased to 11,000.
118 VUSTATS: A Special Application, SA8558, allows a maximum of up to 5,000 VUSTATS buttons on the
large servers and increases the number of simultaneously updating displays limit from 500 to 2,000.
119 Intra-Switch CDR: individually administer the endpoints for intra-switch CDR on the intra-switch CDR
form.
SA8202 (Intra-switch CDR by COS) extends the limit to include all the stations supported on a platform.
All phones with the same COS are included in intra-switch CDR reporting.
120 SIP Enablement Services is no longer supported in CM 6.0. Instead, CM 6.0 works with Session
Manager. The Session Manager capacities document, to be written, contains Session Manager
capacities.
122 The administered announcement files limit is a count of all the sources assigned to defined
announcement extensions that contain an announcement file. With all single-sourced announcements,
the total equals the total extensions defined. (This is the same as without Locally Sourced Music and
Announcements (LSMA)). With group sourced announcements, each source included in the group
defined for the extension is counted towards the limit (i.e., each source a file is in is counted). In a
system with a combination of single sourced and group sourced extensions, each of the single sourced
extensions and the individual sources in the assigned groups are counted towards the limit. For
example, a configuration with 5 single sourced announcement extensions and 2 audio group sourced
extensions with each group listing 10 sources uses 7 announcement extensions and 25 administered
announcement files. The display capacity screen shows both the announcement extensions and
administered files system limits along with the current Used and Available quantities.
123 For Call Center applications, an increase of extension length beyond 8 digits requires an R16 or later
CMS and CM 5.2.1 or later, or use of Avaya IQ.
125 When the Allow Two Observers in Same Call field on the Feature-Related System-Parameter form
is set to y, two service observers can be in a merged conference call, where the service observers may
be monitoring an EAS LoginID, station extension, or VDN (1 observing the VDN and 1 another type).
Multiple service observers will be counted as conferees in a conference call, but they will not be
included in the actual number of conferenced parties that is shown for the Conference <n> station
display.
This capability allows automated Agent Quality Recording via switch-adjunct products (for example,
Witness or NICE) that use the Service Observing feature to continue recording EAS agents or stations
after two service-observed agents are merged by a call conference (previously the one doing the
recording was stopped) or to be able to have an observer monitor EAS agents or stations for quality
If more than 2 service observers are about to be merged for a call-conference operation and a call-
conference occurs with more than two service observers in both call legs, this feature allows the
conference to take place, but only 2 observers will be left in the merged call with an observer in each
call leg.
In this instance, the highest preference is given to keeping the service observer with a Class of
Restriction (COR) with the Service Observing by Recording Device field set to y.
This feature applies to activation using any of the SO FACs (Listen-Only, Listen/Talk and No-Talk) or
SO buttons towards stations/agents. It can not be applied towards VDNs for VDN service observing so
no more than one VDN observer can be on the same call in vector processing. When the call is
connected to an agent, both the VDN observer and the agent observer (or conferenced agent observer)
can be connected.
126 If the number of parties will exceed 6, an observer or additional observer will not be added and/or the
agents are denied adding another conference party.
127 There is no process limit to the number of Service Observing associations that can be active in the
system. What will limit service observing is the number of bridged connections involved with an
observed call, the number of observers of the same call (limited to one observer except when the
Allow Two Observers In The Same Call system option is active) and system resources that include
timeslots, inter-gateway connections/links and VoIP resources.
128 Special Application SA8993 allows a maximum of 250 Multiple Listed Directory Numbers.
131 Special Application SA9035 allows a maximum of 1024 Intercom Groups on the Main/Survivable Core
Duplex, Main/Survivable Core Simplex, Survivable Remote Simplex 140, and Survivable Remote
Embedded 140 offers. Special Application SA9035 allows a maximum of 128 Intercom Groups on the
Main Embedded offer.
132 There is no limit on the maximum number of auto dial buttons, other than the system limit on button
capacity. See row 'Station Button Capacity' for system button limitations.
133 The CM offer limit on SIP trunks simultaneously in use on the CM_Duplex and CM_Simplex templates
is 12,000 for CM Evolution Server (ES) configurations and is up to 24,000 for CM Feature Server (FS)
configurations.
134 With one exception, Communication Manager Messaging for Federal Markets (CMM-FM) has the same
capacities as CMM on the Avaya Aura® Main / Avaya Aura® for Survivable Core (Simplex
configuration) template. That exception is Subscriber Mailboxes. CMM-FM supports 15,000 mailboxes.
135 Survivable remote platforms in CM 6.0 are expected to only support SIP trunking to the SM core.
Service provider PSTN SIP trunks are not yet planned to be supported on survivable remote platforms
in CM 6.0. They are planned to be supported in a future release.
136 The capacities shown in these columns assume a large core survivable server backing up a large main
server. In other words, they assume the following settings on the Server Role page's "Configure
Memory" fields.
The "This Server's Memory Setting" field is set to Large.
If the server role field is set to one of the survivable roles (formerly LSP and ESS) then the
server also has the "Main Server's Memory Setting" field set to Large.
137 The capacities shown in this column assume a small main server. In other words, they assume the
following settings on the Server Role page.
The server's role is set to Main.
The "This Server's Memory Setting" field under "Configure Memory" is set to Small.
138 The capacities shown in this column assume a small survivable server backing up a remote part of a
large core server. In other words, they assume the following settings on the Server Role page.
The "This Server's Memory Setting" field under "Configure Memory" is set to Small.
The server role field is set to one of the survivable roles (formerly LSP or ESS)
The "Main Server's Memory Setting" field under "Configure Memory" is set to Large.
If you want to know what the capacities would be for a small survivable backing up a small main, read
the (CM_onlyEmbed) column immediately to the left. In other words, if "This Server's Memory Setting"
is Small, and "Main Server's Memory Setting" is also Small, the resulting survivable server's capacities
are the same as those of a small main server.
139 For survivable remote server software capacities, this document uses the term 'administered' as seen
from two different points of view.
1. The way people and marketing offers commonly use the term.
2. The way CM software uses the term.
For example, suppose a CM system has a large main server at headquarters and two small survivable
servers, one at each of two distant remote branches. Person A moves from one phone to another
phone, both within branch A.
1. From a marketing offer point of view, person A's station is only used in branch A. From a
marketing offer point of view, the only survivable server that needs to have this station counted
towards the station limits is the survivable server in branch A.
2. However, from CM software's point of view, CM station translations, including A's phone move,
are updated through the headquarters main server. That main server downloads the complete
set of revised station translations to all survivable remote branches. The survivable server in
branch B receives that complete set of translations. From CM server B's point of view, those
translations include person A's extension information. Server B counts that extension towards
server B's administered station capacity limit.
That is why this document's software capacity limits for some items in the survivable remote server
columns are higher than similar limits in the adjacent marketing Offer Limit rows.
141 IP Soft Consoles are included in the Maximum Concurrently Registered IP stations limit.
142 When tenant partitioning is enabled for the system, you can administer up to 100 COS groups, each
with 16 Classes of Service. The command line changes from “change cos x” to “change cos-group n”.
144 SA9115 increases the number of entries in the ip-network-map table from 500 to 4000.
145 CAG capacity has been increased for LARGE systems and members in a CAG has been increased
across the board for all platforms. The SA9123 allows CAGs that are adjacent in a coverage path to
have the same extensions.
146 CM 6.2.5 (6.2 FP1) is now available as a virtual appliance on VMware. This is called CM VE (Virtual
Enablement). During installation of CM-VE, the memory footprint can be configured as LARGE,
MEDIUM or SMALL. The capacities of CM-VE is same as that of CM deployed over System Platform.
147 CM can be deployed using a LARGE, MEDIUM or SMALL footprint. HW requirements and capacity of
the system are dependent on the memory footprint / size. Please note that there are additional factors
that determine the capacity of a CM – including whether it is operating as a Main server or survivable
server.
148 IP Network regions and Locations have been increased from 250 to 2000 to support Large enterprises
that have multiple branch sites. It is available only with LARGE memory footprint.
The existing network regions 1 to 250 are referred to as CORE network regions, the new ones 251 to
2000 are referred to as STUB network regions. The Core network regions can have media resources
and endpoints. The Stubs can only have endpoints and act as far-end of a signaling group. They
cannot have any media resource. Every stub region MUST be connected to a core region for its media
requirements. A stub region can be connected to only 1 core region.
149 Number of switch classified calls is not platform dependent, but to classify a call, call classification
resources are needed. Number of call classification resources in a system is dependent on the
platform. See footnote 39 and 124.
150 Dial Plan Analysis is per location. Every dial plan analysis (DPA) form supports a max of 12 pages x 45
entries per page = 540. The all-location DPA form allows entries with any call type; the per-location
DPA form allows only the udp call type. The max number of DPA entries is limited by capacity form field
AAR/ARS Analysis Entries and is 16000.
151 10 CES servers can be administered if CES servers are directly connected to CM over a SIP signaling
group. However 22 CES servers can be supported if CES servers are connected to SM and then
aggregated over a signaling group to CM.
Note: Max limit of 22 CES is applicable only if H.323 or DCP stations are configured on Communication
Manager. If number of SIP station configured on Communication Manager increases, then the number
of maximum CES server supported will decrease.
152 40K channels is the CM license file limit. This is the number of audio channels that can be established
from CM to the set of configured AMSs. The licensed limit is independent of the codec types used.
Individual media server channel capacity is a function of the server type, cpu-speed, memory
configuration, processor architecture and codec types used
TLS for H.323 IP stations is introduced only for JITC customers.
158 This offer is for migration of Midsize Enterprise template from 6.3.x to Aura 7.
159 Offline call log feature stores call log entries for H.323 users who are not registered. When they register
back to Communication Manager, Communication Manager pushes the call log entries to the endpoint.
The buffer holds up to 10 entries per user subject to the system limit mentioned in the capacity table.
The offline call log entries are stored on FIFO (First In, First Out) basis.
At a user level, if the buffer is full with 10 log entries and another call activity takes place,
Communication Manager removes the oldest entry to make room for the latest entry. At the system
level, if the buffer is full with call log entries and another call activity takes place, Communication
Manager removes the oldest record at the system level to make room for the latest entry. The entry to
be removed may belong to a user who has not yet reached the individual max call log entries limit.
160 The maximum number of simultaneous calls where out-of-band DTMF is received and needs to be
retransmitted to the far end either as in-band DTMF or out-of-band DTMF counts against this limit. The
parties involved in the call can be stations or trunks of any protocol, such as DCP, H.323 or SIP.
