Connecting an E1/T1 WAN link to the MM340 media module

To connect the WAN link, plug the WAN line into the E1/T1 port on the MM340 media module.
This port is marked E1/T1. Use an unshielded twisted pair cable, straight or crossover,
depending on the WAN equipment.

Connecting an Ethernet WAN link

You must connect the Ethernet WAN line (DSL, firewall, etc.) to the Ethernet WAN port on the
front panel of the Avaya G450 Media Gateway chassis. This port is marked ETH WAN. See
Figure 6. Use a CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect the WAN line to the port.

Connecting an external router to the G450

You can connect a router to any of the following ports on the G450:
The ETH WAN ports on the G450 front panel
●
The ETH LAN ports on the G450 front panel
●

Step 4: Installing the Coupled Bonding Conductor

The Coupled Bonding Conductor (CBC) provides mutual inductance coupling between the CBC
and the telephone cables that are exposed to lightning. The conductor can be a 10 AWG
2
(4 mm ) wire tie wrapped to the exposed cables, a metal cable shield around the exposed
cables, or six spare pairs from the exposed cable. In a high-rise building, connect the CBC to an
approved building ground on each floor.
