port, use a straight network cable with an RJ-45 connector.
Connection to any switch
You can connect the computer to any switch that is connected to the Avaya G350 Media Gateway. Ask
the project manager where the switch is located.
Connection to an IP telephone
Your network may include IP telephones. If so, you may be asked to connect the computer to the data port
in the IP telephone.
Connecting a server
There are several possible ways to connect a server to the Avaya G350 Media Gateway. You can connect
a server directly to the Avaya G350 Media Gateway or to a switch connected to the Avaya G350 Media
Gateway. The connection is determined by your network topology. Follow instructions from the project
manager, who determines where you should connect the server.
The following are the most typical options for connecting a server to the Avaya G350 Media Gateway.
Direct Connection to a port on the MM314
media module
If your Avaya G350 Media Gateway includes an MM314 media module, you might be asked to connect
the server to one of several data ports in this module. These are:
•
24 Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Ethernet access ports with inline Power over Ethernet (PoE)
•
the Gigabit port, labelled 6/51
You can also connect the computer to the following ports on the front panel of the Avaya G350 Media
Gateway chassis:
•
the LAN port, labelled 10/3
•
the Fast Ethernet port, labelled 10/2
To connect the server to any of these ports except the WAN port, you can use a straight network cable
with an RJ-45 connector, or a crossover cable with an RJ-45 connector. To connect the server to the WAN
port, use a straight network cable with an RJ-45 connector.
Connection to any switch
You can connect the computer to any switch that is connected to the Avaya G350 Media Gateway. Ask
