To insert a media module: Remove the blank plate from the empty bay. Position the media module squarely before the selected bay on the front of the G350 chassis and engage both sides of the module in the interior guides.
Installing the Avaya G350 Media Gateway Step 3: Attach ground conductors Figure 6: Inserting a media module Apply firm pressure to engage the connectors. The media module connector has different length pins. The long pins will engage first to provide grounding.
Service Personnel or Customers who have been instructed about the reasons for the restricted access and any safety precautions that must be taken. In these cases, access to the G350 is gained by the use of a tool (such as a lock and key) or other means of security.
Installing the Avaya G350 Media Gateway Step 3: Attach ground conductors Approved grounds An approved ground is the closest acceptable medium for grounding the building entrance protector, entrance cable shield, or a single-point ground of electronic telephony equipment. If more than one type...
Attach the Supplementary Ground Conductor to an approved ground. Connect the AC power cable to the inlet receptacle on the rear of the chassis. You have now mounted the fully equipped G350 Media Gateway and connected to electrical ground conductors. You are now ready to connect power.
Connect the power cable to the power connector on the G350 back panel. Plug the power cable into a mains socket. The G350 is now powered. The PWR LED on the front panel lights. The CPU LED lights up if the firmware is running. At least one LED on each media module lights up initially and then goes off after about 20 seconds.

Connect the endpoint devices to the G350 while the supporting technicians perform the configurations. As you connect devices to the G350, tell the supporting technicians which devices are connected to which ports. The supporting technicians will need the devices connected in order to test all the endpoints.
Step 2: Assist the configuration Assisting an off-site configuration (staging) The supporting technician will need to connect some devices to test endpoints. Do not connect endpoint devices unless the supporting technician requests you to do so. Installation of the G350 Media Gateway December 2003...

As you connect devices, keep a record of the slots and ports into which specific devices are connected. You will need to provide this information to the technician who configures the G350. If your planning documentation specifies which devices should be connected to which ports, follow those instructions.
To connect an IP telephone: Wire a telephone port to a LAN port on the G350. If the IP telephone will be powered through the G350, make sure you use a 10/100 Ethernet port on an MM314 Media Module installed in slot V6 of the G350.
Plug the analog telephone into the telephone port. NOTE: The leftmost LINE analog telephone port on the G350 front panel forms a mechanical analog relay with the TRUNK port next to it. This relay can be configured to provide emergency transferred telephone service in the case of a power outage or disconnection from an external media server.
Failure to comply with this could cause harm to personnel and equipment. To connect a DCP telephone: Wire a telephone port to a DCP port on the G350. The following media modules provide DCP telephone ports: — MM312 — 24 DCP ports.
— The TRUNK port on the G350 front panel. NOTE: The TRUNK analog telephone port on the G350 front panel forms a mechanical analog relay with the LINE port next to it. This relay can be configured to provide emergency transferred telephone service in the case of a power outage or disconnection from an external media server.

Connecting devices Step 4: Install circuit protection Step 4: Install circuit protection Over-voltage and sneak fuse protection measures are necessary for the safe operation of the G350 Media Gateway system. Over-Voltage and Sneak-Current Protection Out-of-building installations of telephones or other standard (tip/ring) devices/terminals that connect to the Avaya G350 Media Gateway Media Modules require over-voltage and sneak current protection at both building entry points.
Step 5: Connect to the Wide Area Network (WAN) Since the G350 contains an internal router, you can connect the G350 directly to a WAN endpoint device. You can also connect a WAN endpoint device to the G350 via an external router.
Connecting devices Step 6: Install the Coupled Bonding Conductor 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.
Avaya Partner Contact Closure Adjunct box to the CC port on the G350 chassis. The adjunct box provides two contact closures that can be operated in either a “normally closed” or “normally open” state. The contact closures can control auxiliary devices such as devices that automatically lock or unlock doors or voice recording units.
Make outgoing calls from the trunk. Ask the service center technician for instructions how to access the trunk. Make sure you can make both an internal (within the local network) and an external (outside of the local network) call. Make a call to the trunk.
