Completing A Provisioning Plan - Avaya S8700 Installation Instructions Manual

Completing a provisioning plan

A provisioning plan should be completed before an installation. The plan determines an appropriate
available port circuit on the media gateway for each telephone, trunk, and peripheral connection needed,
and any auxiliary power for Basic Rate Interface (BRI) and certain display sets.
Obtain copies of the Port Assignment Record forms (or equivalent) from the customer or marketing
representative. See
These forms contain the port assignments and identify the extension numbers (terminal number) of the
telephones. Enter the jack assignments at the equipment room.
The Port Assignment Record should have the following information:
•
Station or trunk type or feature/service
•
Building location (floor/room/desk/outlet)
•
Extension number or trunk group and member number
•
Port circuit location on the media gateway for each endpoint (media gateway/slot/circuit)
•
Route from equipment room through site/satellite closets to each endpoint
•
Auxiliary power supply, if required (main distribution frame (MDF), site/satellite closet, or
information outlet)
