Overview of the Avaya R300 Remote 
Office Communicator
DEFINITY and the Avaya R300
The Avaya R300 provides an integral solution to support the complete communication 
needs of a small office (24 clients or less) for LAN data clients and digital/analog voice 
terminals. The Avaya R300 supports IP routing through its integrated WAN interfaces (T1, 
E1, BRI, and serial) to the R9 or newer DEFINITY.
From a control perspective, all call processing, call routing, and billing are managed in the 
DEFINITY control cabinet. The Avaya R300 operates similarly to a DEFINITY EPN. The 
Avaya R300 Remote Office Communicator provides local access trunks (digital and 
analog), and the DEFINITY manages these as IP signaling groups.
This remote application, based on Lucent-Ascend’s MAX 3000, provides you with an 
effective way to maintain remote DCP and analog phones and trunks from a DEFINITY 
Enterprise Communication Server (ECS). The Avaya R300 provides full DEFINITY 
functionality and features to the remote site either through a WAN or LAN using the IP 
protocol.
Since the Avaya R300 Remote Office Communicator is based on Lucent-Ascend’s MAX 
3000, you may see references to Lucent-Ascend’s MAX documentation. That 
documentation can be found on the DEFINITY documentation CD shipped with the 
Avaya R300.
