Cable Multiple Units - Avaya G700 Installation And Upgrades

2 Installing Hardware for the G700 Media Gateway and S8300 Media Server: Installation and Cabling
!
CAUTION:
The Stacking Sub-Module is not hot-swappable. That is, the G700 must be powered off
before you insert or remove a Stacking Module. If there is an active S8300 present, the
S8300 should be shut down by pressing the Shutdown button. Hold the button in 2–3
seconds until the OK to Remove LED starts flashing. When the LED turns on steady, power
can be safely turned off.

3. Press the Avaya X330STK Stacking Module in firmly until the connector at the back of the
module is completely inserted into the internal connector on the G700.
4. Tighten the screws on either side of the module.
At this point, the required modules and cabling units have been inserted into the G700 Media Gateway. The
next step will be to install cabling.

Cable Multiple Units

Avaya G700 Media Gateways can be mounted in equipment stacks with routers, switches, or other Media
TM
Gateways. These elements are all compatible and are installed similarly. Consult Avaya™ P333T User
Guide for installation and cabling information. To link multiple units, each G700 Media Gateway must be
equipped with an Avaya X330STK Stacking Module on the rear panel. Then, each unit in the stack is linked
to the one above it. Finally, the bottom unit is linked to the top unit. Stacks should always be built from the
bottom, and new units should be added at the top. Up to 10 units can be stacked in this way. When deciding
where to position the unit, ensure that:
• It is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise such as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers,
power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
