Installing Patch Panels; Cross-Connecting The Media Gateway To The Patch Panels - Avaya G650 Installing

Installing patch panels

Patch panels are arrays of RJ45 jacks and associated B25A cabling to accommodate 2-wire, 24-port
DCP/analog port boards and 8-port analog trunk boards. They are mounted either below or above the
media gateway stack. They cannot be mounted in between media gateways.
See Figure 44, Typical RMC patch panel installation,
To install patch panels:
1
Using the supplied mounting screws, mount the patch panels on the rack below media gateway A
or above the topmost media gateway.
2
Attach B25A cables to the patch panels and the circuit pack amphenol connectors.

NOTE:
The patch panels do not have to be mounted in the same rack as the media gateways. They
can be mounted in phone closets as appropriate.
NOTE:
Connect 24-port DCP/analog circuit packs to the 24 port patch panels.
NOTE:
Connect 8 port analog trunk, "combo," or DID trunk circuit packs to either of the first two
banks on the 8 port patch panel. If an TN2185B ISDN-BRI S/T-TE Interface (4-wire, 8
ports) circuit pack is present, connect it to the third bank on the 8 port patch panel.
