Installing the Avaya™ S8700 Media Server with Avaya™ G600 Media Gateway
May 2003
Install 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.
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.
‘‘Typical RMC patch panel installation’’ on page 98
while performing this procedure.
1
Using the supplied mounting screws, mount the patch panels on the rack below media
gateway A or above the topmost media gateway.

Attach B25A cables to the patch panels and the circuit pack amphenol connectors.
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 8 port BRI trunk circuit pack (TN2185B) is present,
connect it to the third bank on the 8 port patch panel.

Panels

Cross-connect the port circuit packs to the Avaya G600 patch panels (or other standard
