Maintenance of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway
June 2004
The removal of Media Modules is detected by the media gateway. Listings of the G350 circuit packs
show the relevant slot location as having ‘no board.’ The determination of T1/E1 modes of operation for
the DS1 Media Modules is downloadable, since the DS1 Media Module can function as either a T1 or E1
interface.
Upon Media Module replacement, modules are registered with the Avaya G350 Media Gateway, where
board type, suffix, and vintage are verified. The G350 then sends appropriate H.248 messages to the
controller, creating Communication Manager objects.
You can hot-swap voice modules. This means you can add a voice module to the Avaya G350 Media
Gateway while the system is running, without any disruption to your network. Configuration of the G350
is not necessary when you add a voice module. Some configuration of the communication manager is
necessary when you install an MM710, MM720, and MM722 Media Module.
You can hot-insert data modules. This means you can add a data module to the Avaya G350 Media
Gateway while the system is running, but the G350 resets when you add the module. However, hot
insertion is not recommended for data modules in most cases. Because hot insertion resets the G350, any
translation and other data that is in the running configuration but has not been saved to the startup
configuration will be lost.
Combination Limitations
The following combinations of media modules are not supported by the G350:
•
More than three of the following voice media modules: MM711, MM712, MM714, MM717,
MM720, and MM722.
•
More than one MM710 media module.
•
More than one MM712 or MM717 media module.
•
More than two MM711 and/or MM714 media modules.
•
More than two MM720 or MM722 media modules.
•
More than two MM340 and/or MM342 media modules.

Manager, 555-233-200.

WARNING:
The G350 must not be operated with any slots open. Empty slots should be covered with the
supplied blank plates.
CAUTION:
The connector pins can be bent or damaged if the module is handled roughly or if
misaligned and then forced into position.
CAUTION:
Separate ESD paths to the chassis ground connect to the Media Modules at the spring-
loaded captive screws. Ensure the captive screws are securely tightened to prevent damage
to the equipment.
