The G450 can support up to 450 users when deployed as a branch gateway in a mid to large branch office of a large enterprise or a call center, and can serve up to 2400 users when deployed as a campus gateway.
Introduction The G450 is a modular device, adaptable to support different combinations of endpoint devices. While fixed front panel ports support the connection of external LAN switches, network data ports, Ethernet WAN lines and external routers, eight slots are provided for plugging in optional media modules.

Chapter 2: Optional components The Avaya G450 Media Gateway is a versatile device with powerful capabilities. To implement the various services that are supported, a variety of swappable internal components called media modules are available. Supported media modules in the G450...
The S8300 server is a Pentium-based processor that runs a Linux operating system. The G450 supports the S8300 from version S8300B onwards. The S8300 runs Avaya Communication Manager (CM) to provide call control services to the G450. The G450 is compatible with Avaya CM from version 5.0.
● Figure 2: The S8300 server Telephony media modules The G450 supports the MM711, MM714, and MM716 analog media modules, the MM712 and MM717 DCP media modules, the MM710 E1/T1 media module, and the MM720 and MM722 BRI media modules.

MM720 BRI media module The MM720 BRI media module provides eight ports with RJ-45 jacks that can be administered either as BRI trunk connections or BRI endpoint (telephone and data module) connections. 20 Administration for the Avaya G450 Media Gateway...
Supported media modules in the G450 Note: The MM720 BRI media module cannot be administered to support both BRI Note: trunks and BRI endpoints at the same time. Also, the MM720 BRI media module does not support combining both B-channels together to form a 128-kbps channel.
Optional components WAN media modules The G450 supports the MM340 E1/T1 WAN and MM342 Universal Serial Port WAN media modules. MM340 E1/T1 WAN media module The MM340 E1/T1 WAN media module provides a data WAN access port for the connection of an E1 or T1 WAN.
Permitted slots The G450 chassis has eight media module slots, marked V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7, V8 (see G450 physical description on page 13). Each media module is restricted to certain slots.
The G450 chassis is designed to accommodate: Up to eight telephony media modules (MM710, MM711, MM712, MM714, MM716, ● MM717, MM720, MM722) Up to three WAN media modules (MM340, MM342)) ● Up to one S8300 server ● 24 Administration for the Avaya G450 Media Gateway...
The Avaya G450 Media Gateway features up to four VoIP DSPs that provide voice services over IP data networks. The G450 allows you to use many types of telephones and trunks that do not directly support VoIP. The G450 translates voice and signalling data between VoIP and...
Summary of services Physical media — G450 There are various types of telephones and lines supported by the G450 and access ports provided for their connection. Telephones The G450 supports IP telephones, Avaya DCP telephones, analog telephones, and BRI telephones. For information about which Avaya telephones are supported, see Appendix B: Supported Avaya telephones.
MGC for the Avaya G450 Media Gateway. Supported S8XXX servers The MGCs supported by the Avaya G450 Media Gateway include both ECCs and ICCs. The G450 supports the following MGCs: Table 6: MGCs supported by the Avaya G450 Media Gateway...
Page 29
The G450 provides the following configuration options to help you ensure continuous telephone services: You can configure the G450 to use up to four MGCs. If the MGC is an S8710, S8720, or ● S8730, the first server on the list will normally be the primary C-LAN board connected to the S8xxx server.
You can configure the Avaya CM to support the auto fallback feature, which enables a ● G450 being serviced by an LSP to return to its primary MGC automatically when the connection is restored between the G450 and the MGC. When the G450 is being served by its LSP, it automatically attempts to register with its MGC at periodic intervals.
The Emergency Transfer Relay (ETR) feature provides basic telephone services in the event of a power outage or a failed connection to Avaya Communication Manager. The ETR supports the connection of two external 808A ETR panels. Each 808A Emergency Transfer Panel provides emergency trunk bypass or power-fail transfer for up to five incoming trunk loops to five analog phones and maintains connections on return from emergency transfer mode.
Fax, modem, TTY over IP The G450 supports fax, modem, and TTY over IP. LAN services You can use the Avaya G450 Media Gateway as a LAN switch. You can also integrate the G450 into an existing LAN. Physical media The G450 provides LAN services through the fixed LAN ports on the chassis front panel for the connection of external LAN switches or local data devices.
The G450 has an internal router and provides direct access to outside WAN lines. You can use the G450 as the endpoint device for a WAN line. You can also use the G450 as the router for a WAN line with an external endpoint device.

Avaya G450 Command Line Interface (CLI) You can use the Avaya G450 CLI to configure the G450 and its media modules. The CLI is a textual command prompt interface. It is similar to the CLI of many other network devices.
Avaya Integrated Management offers a comprehensive set of web-based network and system management solutions that support Avaya converged voice solutions. You can use Avaya Integrated Management to monitor SNMP traps on the G450. You can also use Avaya Integrated Management to access Avaya G450 Manager.
Front panel LEDs LEDs on the front panel of the G450 and the media modules give a quick overall understanding of the health of the system and subsystems. When alarms or problems occur, LEDs indicate that a technician’s attention is needed.
The G450 features packet sniffing. All packets, including non-Ethernet packets, that pass through the G450, are recorded. The recorded packets are stored in a file that can be uploaded either to the S8xxx server or to a PC and read by Ethereal for troubleshooting purposes.
Chapter 5: Documentation The following documentation is available to help you implement the G450 in your environment: Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G450 Media Gateway, 03-602054. Describes how to ● install and upgrade the G450, prepare the G450 for software configuration, and perform some basic configurations.
