Chapter 1: Before you Start
Before you install your Avaya G350 Media Gateway, prepare all the information, resources, and
tools that you need during the installation process. Good preparation ensures a smooth
installation with the least amount of interruption.
Gathering Information

combinations.
Using the Pre-Installation Worksheet
The Electronic Pre-installation Worksheet (EPW) is a customized Excel spreadsheet that you
can use to collect configuration information. The EPW verifies that you have a complete set of
installation information. Once filled out by the customer and project manager, the EPW can be
loaded directly into the Avaya Installation Wizard (IW) Gateway Installation Wizard (GIW) for
configuration. The EPW should be completed before the installation.
