3. If you are using a PC, start your terminal emulation software. Multi-Tech MT5634ZBA-USB-V92 Avaya recommends using a Multi-Tech USB modem, model MT5634ZBA-USB-V92, with an S8300/700, S8500, or S8700-series configuration. This modem is used for sending alarms, as well as for remote dial up to the server for maintenance and administration.
Avaya recommends using a Multi-Tech serial modem, model MT5634ZBA-V92-GLOBAL, with a G450 media gateway. The Multi-Tech serial modem connects the G450 media gateway to an external trunk. This connection enables remote dial in capability for administration and troubleshooting. Administering Multi-Tech modems The Multi-Tech modems do not require administration if used in the United States.
The customer-provided busy tone disconnect adjunct detects busy tone disconnects of incoming calls on loop-start, 2-wire, analog trunks. In some non-U.S. countries where a G450 Media Gateway is used, the PSTN sends busy tone as the disconnect signal. Therefore, the S8300 Server, G450 Media Gateway requires a busy tone disconnect adjunct.
