Router port (ETH WAN)

internal router through a 10/100 mbps Ethernet port. The G350 serves as a router for the WAN.

switch through a 10/100 mbps Ethernet port. You can connect an external LAN to ETH LAN.

Console port (CON)

The Console port is a standard RJ-11 network port. Use the Console port to connect a console
device or modem to the G350.

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

RST is the reset button. ASB is the Alternate Software Bank button.
The Avaya G350 Media Gateway has two firmware banks:
Bank A
●
Bank B
●
Each firmware bank contains a version of the G350 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 G350 using the other version. This is particularly important when
uploading new versions.
By default, when you turn on or reset the G350, the G350 loads firmware from Bank B. This
default setting can be changed by the system administrator.
For example, if the G350 is configured to load firmware from Bank B, you can reset the G350 to
load the firmware from Bank A instead.
