Install Patch Panels; Cross-Connect The Media Gateway To The Patch Panels - Avaya S8700 Installing Manual

Installing the Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with Avaya™ G600 Media Gateway

Install Patch Panels

Patch panels are arrays of RJ45 jacks and associated B25A cabling to accommodate 2-wire,
24-port DCP/analog port boards and 8-port analog trunk boards. They are mounted either below
or above the media gateway stack. They cannot be mounted in between media gateways.
NOTE:
The patch panels do not have to be mounted in the same rack as the media gateways. They
can be mounted in phone closets as appropriate.
Refer to ''Typical RMC patch panel installation'' on page 98
1 Using the supplied mounting screws, mount the patch panels on the rack below media
gateway A or above the topmost media gateway.

NOTE:
Connect 24 port DCP/analog circuit packs to the 24 port patch panels.
NOTE:
Connect 8 port analog trunk, "combo," or DID trunk circuit packs to either of the first two
banks on the 8 port patch panel. If an 8 port BRI trunk circuit pack (TN2185B) is present,
connect it to the third bank on the 8 port patch panel.
