Connecting the G250/G350 to the customer LAN

If you are providing maintenance for a G250/G350 that does not have an internal S8300, you
may need to connect the G250/G350 to the customer's LAN. There are various ways that the
G250/G350 is connected to the customer's LAN, depending on the G250/G350's configuration.
If you have a G250/G350 by itself, or a G250/G350 with an external router, the G250/G350
●
connects to the LAN via the ETH LAN port (on the G350) or one of the ETH LAN PoE
ports (on the G250).
If you have a G350 with a switch, the MM314 media module, installed in the G350,
●
connects to the LAN via the ETH LAN port or one of the MM314 Ethernet ports.
If you have a stand-alone configuration, the G250/G350 is the LAN switch and the WAN
●
router.

Connecting a laptop to the S8300 Services port

Connecting a laptop directly to the S8300 Services port requires you to configure the laptop with
a special network configuration.
Note:
Avaya Service technicians can use the NetSwitcher program to configure
Note:
alternate network profiles so they can easily connect to a number of different
systems. NetSwitcher configures a profile for each type of system for easy future
access without requiring you to reset TCP/IP properties or browser settings
manually. NetSwitcher is available from an Avaya Services CTSA.

Configuring the laptop network settings

A laptop connected directly to the Services Ethernet interface on the S8300 Media Server
requires a specific configuration as described in this section.
The network settings must be configured as follows:
TCP/IP properties – set the laptop's TCP/IP properties as follows:
●
- IP address: 192.11.13.5
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.252
Browser settings – configure the browser for a direct connection to the Internet. Do not use
