Overview of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway - Avaya Support

Summary of servicesVoice over IP (VoIP)The G350 features a VoIP engine that provides voice services over IP data networks.You can use many types of telephones and trunks that do not directly support VoIP. The G350translates voice and signalling data between VoIP and the system used by the telephones andtrunks, as follows: Avaya media modules convert the voice path of traditional circuits such asanalog trunk, T1/E1, and DCP to a TDM bus inside the G350. The VoIP engine then convertsthe voice path from the TDM bus to a compressed or uncompressed and packetized VoIP on anEthernet connection.The G350 provides VoIP services over the LAN and WAN. The G350 supports the G.711 codecfor up to 32 concurrent calls and the G.729 codec for up to 16 concurrent calls.Physical mediaThis section describes the various types of telephones and lines supported by the G350 and theaccess ports provided for their connection.TelephonesThe G350 supports IP telephones, Avaya DCP telephones, and analog telephones. Forinformation about which Avaya telephones are supported, see Appendix B: Supported Avayaproducts.Telephones must be connected to the correct type of port for the telephone type. Different typesof telephone ports are provided by different media modules and by fixed ports on the G350 frontpanel. The table below lists which ports you can use to connect each type of telephone. SeeChapter 2: Optional components for more information about each type of port and mediamodule.Table 5: Telephones supported and ports providedTelephone typeIP telephonesAvaya DCP digitaltelephonesAnalog telephonesPortsSwitched Ethernet ports on the MM314 PoE media module.DCP ports on the MM312, MM712, and MM717 mediamodules.Analog line ports on the MM711 and MM714 analog mediamodules.Fixed analog telephone ports LINE and LINE (see Physicaldescription on page 16).30 Overview of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway
