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 G350 Media Gateway chassis. This port is marked ETH WAN. See
Figure 4. Use a CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect the WAN line to the port.

Connecting an external router to the G350

You can connect a router to any of the following ports on the G350:
The ETH WAN port on the G350 front panel
●
The ETH LAN port on the G350 front panel
●
The copper Gigabit Ethernet port on an MM314 media module
●
The copper Gigabit Ethernet port on an MM316 media module
●
One of the 24 10/100 Ethernet ports on an MM314 media module
●
One of the 40 10/100 Ethernet ports on an MM316 media module
●

Step 4: Install 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.
Before you begin, be sure the telephone lines are cross-connected to the appropriate media
module(s).
