Appendix C: Supported cabling options

Avaya Communication Server 1000E Upgrade
Although Avaya recommends using direct connections from the faceplate
Ethernet connectors of the Gateway Controller and Server cards to a Layer 2
switch, they also support the cabling configurations shown in this appendix.
If your Cabinet or Chassis does not require specific Avaya
supplied cables for Server cards, you must use shielded
twisted pair Ethernet cables for the Server card faceplate
ELAN and TLAN connections.
The Gateway Controller can use the features of the MG 1000E by using two
short cables to connect from the card faceplate Ethernet connectors to the two
front bulkhead Ethernet connectors that are internally wired to the 100BaseT
Ethernet connectors on the rear of the MG 1000E. In addition the Gateway
Controller backplane connector provides both an ELAN and TLAN
connection to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet connectors on the rear of the Media
Gateway. Figure 56 on
Connecting to the 1E and 2T ethernet connectors cause the 10/100BaseT leds
to function on the rear of the MG 1000E.
If the NTDW67 MGC Reference ROHS cable is used the LED on the back of
the MG 1000E will not function. Only the faceplate LEDs will function.
The MGC card CE and CT faceplate ethernet ports can be used as local
ethernet maintenance ports.
