Which link configuration is used to connect an Avaya Aura Media Server (AAMS) with Avaya Aura Communication Manager (CM)?

Question

Options

• AAn H.248 Link
• BA Trunk Group
• CA Signaling Group
• DA SIP Entity link

• A
  89% (16)
• B
  6% (1)
• C
  6% (1)

Explanation

H.248 (also called MEGACO) is a media gateway control protocol, and AAMS functions as a media gateway that CM controls to handle audio/media processing - making an H.248 link the correct and specific connection type for this pairing.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Trunk Group): Trunk groups define bundles of circuits/channels for call routing; they're not used to register or control a media server.
• C (Signaling Group): Signaling Groups in CM facilitate SIP or ISDN signaling for trunks - they handle call signaling paths, not media server registration.
• D (SIP Entity link): SIP Entity links are an Avaya Session Manager (ASM) concept for connecting SIP-capable devices to the Session Manager, not for AAMS-to-CM connectivity.

Memory tip: Think H.248 = "H controls the Media" - H.248 is the protocol a controller (CM) uses to command a media gateway (AAMS), so whenever you see AAMS + CM, reach for H.248.
