Connecting the telephone
This section explains how to connect a telephone to the Avaya G350 Media Gateway. There are some
differences in how to connect a telephone, depending on the type of telephone you are connecting. This
section provides separate instructions for connecting various types of telephones, as follows:
•
Connecting an IP telephone
•
Connecting a DCP telephone
•
Connecting an analog telephone or fax machine
Connecting an IP telephone
This section explains how to connect an IP telephone. The main difference between an IP and non-IP
telephone is that IP telephones store their extension numbers in the telephone itself, similar to a computer.
Thus, you can plug an IP telephone into any data port with no change to the telephone’s extension.
To connect an IP telephone:
1
Wire a telephone port to a LAN port on the G350. If the IP telephone will be powered through the
G350, make sure you use a 10/100 Ethernet port on an MM314 Media Module installed in slot V6
of the G350. In this case, you do not need to plug the IP telephone into a power supply.
2
Plug the telephone into the telephone jack or the station wire.
3
If the IP telephone will be powered independently, plug the IP telephone into a power supply.
4
Check that the IP phone is powered up.
