Preparing for configuration

The configuration of the G350 will be performed by one or more supporting technicians either remotely
or on-site. This chapter explains what preparations to make so that the supporting technicians can
configure the G350.
NOTE:
If you received the G350 with the media modules pre-installed, the G350 is already
configured, and you should skip this chapter.
When you have mounted the G350 and inserted the media modules, you are ready to connect endpoint
devices to the front panel ports. Before you connect devices, make the preparations described in this
chapter to enable the supporting technician to access the G350 for configuration. The supporting
technician can start to configure the G350 while you connect devices.
NOTE:
If you are staging the G350 before taking it to the customer site, do not connect endpoint
devices unless the supporting technician requests you to do so to assist the configuration.
The supporting technician will need to connect some devices to test endpoints.
When you have completed the preparations described in this chapter, contact the supporting technician to
help establish configuration access. Be prepared to assist the supporting technician throughout the
configuration. For information about how you might need to assist in the configuration, see

If the configuration will be done either remotely, or partly remotely and partly on-site, you need to
prepare certain equipment for use in the configuration process.
NOTE:
If a supporting technician who will be performing part of the configuration is coming to
do so on-site, that technician might do these preparations.
The preparations are different depending on whether or not you installed an S8300 in the G350. See one
