Chapter 4: Connecting devices
Connecting devices
External endpoint devices can be connected to the ports on the front panels of the installed media
modules and to the fixed front panel ports. Before you connect endpoint devices, the Branch
Gateway should be mounted and all media modules should be inserted.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cords when
installing telephones or adjuncts, or connecting to any media module telecommunication
ports.
Connecting order for devices
Connect these devices in the following order using the appropriate procedure described in this
section:
1. Data and voice devices
2. Circuit protection
3. Wide Area Network (WAN)
4. Coupled Bonding Conductor (CBC)
5. Avaya Partner Contact Closure Adjunct
Data and voice device connections
There are various possible ways of connecting different devices. See your planning
documentation for any topology requirements to connect specific devices to specific ports. As you
connect devices, keep a record of the slots and ports into which specific devices are connected.
You will need this information when configuring the Branch Gateway.
Switch or network data port connections
You can connect one or more LAN switches to either of the ETH LAN ports on the front panel.
