Connecting Devices To The Mm717 And Mm716 Media Modules; Connecting The Mm716 Or Mm717 Front Panel Connector To A Punch Down Block - Avaya G450 Installing And Upgrading

Connecting devices to the MM717 and MM716 media modules

The MM716 and MM717 media modules do not support direct connection of telephones or
other endpoint devices. The MM716 and MM717 media modules each have a single 25-pair
amphenol socket on the front panel, intended for use with a punch down block. Connect the
front panel connector to a punch down block. You can terminate up to 24 endpoint devices on
the connected punch down block.
Connecting the MM716 or MM717 front panel connector
to a punch down block
1. Connect one end of a CAT5 cable with a 25-pair amphenol connector at each end to the
25-pair socket on the MM716 or MM717 front panel, so that the cable extends to the right
of the G450. (The cable you use must be such that the connector you plug into the media
module is 90° to the cable.)
2. Tighten the end screw of the amphenol connector to securely fasten the connector to the
left side of the front panel socket.
3. Thread a tie wrap through the small bracket to the right of the front panel socket.
4. Fasten the tie wrap around the cable to secure the cable to the right side of the front panel
socket.

socket
5. Connect the other end of the amphenol cable to a punch down block that converts the
single amphenol connector to 24 RJ-45 or RJ-11 jacks, as needed. You can now connect
endpoint devices to the RJ-45 or RJ-11 jacks. For the pin-out of the 25-pair connector, see
Table 18.
