Introduction

The Avaya G350 Media Gateway is a converged networking device that provides the following voice and
data networking services:
•
Voice over IP Media Gateway
•
WAN (data) connectivity and routing
•
LAN Switching
The G350 is designed to meet the needs of a small branch office of a large enterprise, providing all
network infrastructure needs in one box. The G350 is optimized for use in a 16-24 user environment.
The G350's internal router enables you to connect directly to an outside WAN, without additional routing
equipment.
The G350 provides telephone services through a media gateway controller, or call controller, called a
media server. The media server controls the routing of voice traffic through the G350. The media server
can be either internal (a media module) or external (a device elsewhere on the network). The media server
is managed by the Avaya Communication Manager.
Plugable media modules provide interfaces for many types of telephones and trunks. This allows you to
incorporate legacy end point devices such as analog and digital telephones.
The G350 can be managed through the Avaya G350 Command Line Interface (CLI), the G350 Device
Manager graphic user interface, or the centralized Avaya Integrated Management application. Some
installation and upgrade configuration tasks can be performed through the Avaya Installation Wizard
(Avaya IW) or the Gateway Installation Wizard (GIW), as well as the CLI.
