1 Before you start
Read this chapter carefully before you begin the installation.
This chapter includes:
• Installation workflows
• Gathering information
• Unpacking
• Site requirements
• Required equipment
Installation workflows
You can use this guide to help perform any of the following:
• a full installation — in which the G350 is shipped to the customer site with no media modules
installed and not configured.
• a staging — in which you install media modules and have a supporting technician configure the
G350 before shipping it to the customer site.
• an installation of a staged G350 — in which you receive the G350 after staging. The G350 has the
media modules already installed and is already configured.
Full installation
If you are performing the entire installation at the customer site, work through the guide from beginning
to end. The workflow is as follows:
• Mount the G350, install the required media modules in the G350, install ground conductors, and
connect power to the G350 (Chapter 2, “Installing the Avaya G350 Media Gateway”
).
• Prepare the G350 to be configured by a supporting technician (Chapter 3, “Preparing for
configuration”).
• Connect endpoint devices, such as telephones, LAN and WAN computers, to the G350 and
collaborate with a supporting technician who configures the G350 (Chapter 4, “Connecting
devices”).
• Test the installation and remove the installation equipment (Chapter 5, “After installation”).
