Replacing the Avaya G350 Media Gateway
Circumstances may require that the Avaya G350 Media Gateway be replaced, either because of hardware
or firmware failure, or because of newer technology. Depending upon these circumstances, some or all of
the components inserted into the G350 (S8300 Media Server, various Media Modules) may be reused in
the replacement G350.
To replace the G350:
1
If the original G350 is still in operation, power down the system. This should be done at a time
when there will be the minimum interruption in service.
a
Perform a shutdown of the S8300 Media Server, if present, using either the Web interface
or manually, using the shutdown button on the S8300 faceplate.
b
Power down the G350 by removing the power cord from the wall power source.

Remove all modules from the G350, and carefully set them aside (assuming they will be reused).
