Connecting Devices To The Mm717 And Mm716 Media Modules - Avaya G350 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. The following
procedure connects the front panel connector to a punch-down block. You can terminate up to
24 endpoint devices on the connected punch-down block.
To connect 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 G350. (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
