Earthing Requirements

Connect the equipment enclosure via the provided stud to Protective earth
using No. 6 AWG copper grounding conductor from an approved earthing
electrode.
Metallic parts of network equipment installed in the outside plant shall be
grounded in accordance with Rule 99 of the most recent edition of the
National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), ANSI/IEEE C2.[36]
Safety Earth
Intrinsically, the Avaya G860 Media Gateway chassis must be safety-earthed using an
equipment-earthing conductor. Do not depend on locknut-bushings and double-
locknuts for bonding purposes. Use the earthing hardware provided with the chassis.
Earthing Electrode
The gateway must be earthed to a stable local earth earth reference. The gateway's
earth terminal should be connected thought a separate earth wire (6 recommended) to
the rack's earthing. The earth connection's resistance must not be greater than 0.1
ohm. Verify that the rack's earthing is properly performed.
