Router Port (Eth Wan); Switched Poe Ports (Eth Poe Lan); Console Port (Con); Usb Port - Avaya G250 Installation And Upgrade Manual

Router port (ETH WAN)

ETH WAN is a standard RJ-45 network port. Use ETH WAN to connect a data device to the
internal router through a 10/100 mbps Ethernet port. The G250 serves as a router for the WAN.

Switched PoE ports (ETH PoE LAN)

There are eight 10/100BASE-T Power over Ethernet ports for connecting powered end devices
or LAN equipment.

Console port (CON)

CON is a standard RJ-11 network port. Use the CONSOLE port to connect a console device or
modem to the G250.

USB port

The USB port is not supported in this release of the G250.

Reset (RST) and Alternate Software Bank (ASB) buttons

RST is the reset button. ASB is the Alternate Software Bank button.
The Avaya G250 Media Gateway has two firmware banks:
Bank A
●
Bank B
●
Each firmware bank contains a version of the G250 firmware. These may be different versions.
The purpose of this feature is to provide software redundancy. If one of the versions becomes
corrupted, you can reset the G250 using the other version. This is particularly important when
uploading new versions.
By default, when you turn on or reset the G250, the G250 loads firmware from Bank B. This
default setting can be changed by the system administrator.
