Configuration overview

Configuration using CLI

The following example assigns to the USB interface an IP address of 10.3.3.2 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0:
G350-???(super)# interface USB
G350-???(super-if:USB)# ip address 10.3.3.2 255.255.255.0
Done!
You must also make sure the G350 is properly configured for whichever methods you intend to use for
accessing the G350. For information on accessing the G350, see
Gateway on page 25.
Your next step should be to define the other interfaces required by your system specifications. See
Defining an interface
Once you have defined your interfaces, you can define a Primary Management IP address (PMI). The
PMI is the IP address which the G350 uses to identify itself when communicating with other devices,
particularly the Media Gateway Controller (MGC). Management data intended for the G350 is routed to
the interface defined as the PMI. You can use any interface as the PMI. For instructions on how to define
the PMI, see Configuring the Primary Management Interface (PMI)
Once you have defined a PMI, you must register the G350 with an MGC. The MGC is a media server that
controls telephone services on the G350. The MGC can be internal or external. See
Controller (MGC)
Once you have performed these steps, the G350 is ready for use. Other configuration tasks may also have
to be performed, but these steps depend on the individual specifications of your G350 and your network.
Most G350 configuration tasks are performed using the Avaya G350 Media Gateway Command Line
Interface (CLI). However, Avaya provides two GUI interfaces that are designed to perform the basic
configuration tasks described in this section. These are the Avaya Installation Wizard (Avaya IW) and the
Avaya Gateway Installation Wizard (GIW). You can use the Avaya IW or the GIW to set a PMI, enable
the console or USB port for modem use, upgrade firmware, and register the G350 with an MGC. You can
then use the CLI to perform ongoing administration.
Configuration using CLI
You can use the Avaya G350 Media Gateway Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage the G350. The
CLI is a command prompt interface that enables you to type commands and view responses. For
instructions on how to access the G350 CLI, see
This guide contains information and examples about how to use CLI commands to configure the Avaya
G350 Media Gateway. For more information about the G350 CLI and a complete description of each CLI
command, see the Avaya™ G350 Media Gateway CLI Reference, 555-245-202.

Configuration using GUI applications

Several Avaya GUI applications enable you to perform some configuration tasks on the Avaya G350
Media Gateway.
