Adding a WAN line
You must order, connect, configure and test the WAN line before adding the line to the Avaya
G350 Media Gateway.
Ordering the WAN line
If you need to order the WAN line, make sure that the service provider installs the line near the
physical location of the G350 and verifies that the line is working before you configure the WAN
on the G350.
Connecting the WAN line
To connect a WAN line, see
Configuring the WAN line on the G350
Configuration may be performed on site by connecting a laptop computer to the Console port of
the G350, or remotely via a modem connected to the G350 or S8300.
For information about preparing a modem, see

Testing the WAN link
After installation of the WAN line is complete, test the link by verifying that the SIG LED for the
port to which the link connects is lit. It is also recommended that you ping the IP address of a
device using the WAN line and perform a trace route test in order to test connectivity with the
network and outside the network.
