Get/Set Toolbar

The Get/Set Toolbar provides buttons for getting and setting configuration parameters for selected ports. When a port is selected, its configuration is reflected on the Get/Set Toolbar. Each group of buttons represents the various possible states of a configuration parameter. For example, the first group of buttons represents the possible speed of a port - 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. If the center button is depressed, the port is currently configured to operate at 100 Mbps.
Tools > Administer Station/Gateway

Selected ports can be configured using the Get/Set Toolbar. To change the configuration of a port, click the button that represents the value of the parameter you want to apply to the port. Click apply to update the device with the changes. Click cancel to discard the changes. Options not applicable to the selected port are greyed out.
Multiple ports can be simultaneously configured using the Get/Set Toolbar. When multiple ports with non-identical configurations are selected, only the parameters whose settings are identical on the selected ports are reflected in the Get/ Set Toolbar. For example, if a port operating at full duplex and a port operating at half duplex are selected, neither of the duplex mode buttons on the Get/Set Toolbar are depressed.

a certain standard (Repeater, Transceiver, 10BaseT, etc.), this standard is displayed. If the port does not conform to any standard, Private is displayed.
Administrative Status
The administrative state of the selected port:
Enabled - the port is enabled and can transmit and receive
packets.
Disabled - the port is disabled and cannot transmit or receive
packets.
Tagging Mode The port’s operational mode regarding VLANs. The possible modes
are:
Transmits each outgoing packet in untagged format if it
belongs to the port’s VLAN. Otherwise, it discards the packet.
VLAN tagging, per IEEE 802.1Q VLAN standard. The port will
transmit frames with a VLAN ID of 1 - 3071 for Avaya G250/ G350 Devices and 1 - 4090 for Avaya G450 Devices.
VLAN ID The VLAN number of the port. Port Priority Level The priority level of packets exiting the port or ports on the module.
For effective transmission, multimedia packets must be received at regular intervals. To ensure this, you can assign priorities to packets coming out of a port.
Whenever traffic load is extreme and a port cannot accept all incoming packets, packets sent from a port with the highest priority will pass through first. However, a fairness mechanism will allow low priority packets to eventually enter the bus.
Possible values are: User Priority 0...User Priority 7
Auto Negotiation Mode
The configured state of the Auto-Negotiation protocol between two stations. When enabled, Auto-Negotiation detects the highest common denominator for communication between endstations, and sets both to the same highest common setting. It also delivers remote link status.
For 10BaseT and 100BaseT ports, Auto-Negotiation determines the speed and Duplex Mode of communication between the endstations. For Gigabit ports, Auto-Negotiation determines the Flow Control setting of the ports.
For more information, refer to Auto-Negotiation in The Reference
Guide.

Port Configuration - 802.1X Tab

802.1x port security requires a user connected to a port on the network to be authenticated by an authentication server.
When a user connects to a port configured with 802.1x port security, the port forwards an authentication packet to a Radius authentication server. The authentication server checks if the user is authorized to use the port, and either allows or blocks the user’s access to the port.
The port can be configured to automatically reauthenticate the user . If the reauthentication fails, the user is denied further access to the port. For more information, refer to “Port Configurat ion -
General Tab” on page 49.

PoE provides power to IP telephones over an Ethernet line. The power is transmitted via the device’s ports to the IP telephones over the same cable carrying IP packets.
The Avaya G250/G350 Device automatically discovers the connection and removal of IP telephones from the in-line powered ports and provides power accordingly.
The Avaya G250/G350 Device provides power using an internal power supply over a 48 volt feed.

Avaya G250/G350/G450 Devices.

Media Gateway Overview

The Media Gateway is a family of components, which can deliver data, voice, fax, and messaging capabilities over an IP network. It is a VoIP system that acts as an IP PBX and messaging server and a VoIP gateway. In addition, it performs the function of a gatekeeper and an IP media management resource for tone detection and generation, conferencing, and call classification.
The Media Gateway components are controlled through the Media Gateway Processor (MGP). The MGP detects when a media module is inserted or removed and transfers information from the VoIP engine to the other components.
The Avaya G250/G350/G450’s Media Gateway converges the power of Avaya Call Processing (ACP) software with the power of distributed switching from the Avaya G250/G350/G450 Device. It provides IP PBX functionality using open standards and an open operating system. The device connects to ACP using either an internal or extern al call controlle r. The ACP serves as the Avaya G250/G350/G450 Device’s gatekeeper.

VoIP Engine Configuration
RTCP Monitoring
RTCP is an IP protocol that is used to monitor the quality of RTP packets. Quality is measured in terms of delay, jitter, and packet loss. If RTCP monitoring is enabled, the VoIP engines send RTCP packets to the RTCP monitor. You must configure an IP address for the RTCP monitor, and determine intervals at which the RTCP data is checked.
The following table lists the RTCP monitoring fields and their descriptions.
Table 27: VoIP resources - RTCP monitoring Parameters
Field Description Monitoring enabled The status of RTCP monitoring.
IP address The IP address of the RTCP monitor. Port The port monitored by RTCP. Report Period The interval for RTCP reports.
Checked - RTCP monitoring is enabled.
Unchecked - RTCP monitoring is disabled.
RSVP
RSVP is a protocol that signals the router to reserve bandwidth. If RSVP is enabled, the Media Gateway tries to reserve a specific amount of bandwidth per call session. If this fails, the Media Gateway tries to reallocate the bandwidth during the call session.
The following table lists the RSVP fields and their description.
Table 28: VoIP resources - RSVP Parameters
Field Description RSVP Enabled The Status of RSVP usage.
Checked - The Media Gateway will try to reserve bandwidth per
call. If it fails, the Media Gateway will try again during the call.
Unchecked - RSVP is not enabled.
Retry on failure The action the VoIP engine takes after an RSVP request fails.
Checked - The VoIP engine resends a RSVP request if the first
attempt failed.
Unchecked - The VoIP Engine drops the RSVP request, and the
Retry Delay field is ignored.
Retry Delay The interval the VoIP Engine waits after a failed RSVP request before
sending the new request. The interval ranges between 0.5 - 60 seconds.
Service profile The type of service being provided.

Ethernet LAN Port Configuration

This section provides information on viewing and configuring parameters for the built-in Ethernet LAN port of the Avaya G250/G350 Device (the Avaya G450 Device has two LAN ports). The Ethernet LAN port can be used to connect to the campus switched backbone network or to an end-user device.

attached and port connector type.
Port Functionality The physical media type of the selected port. If the port conforms to a
certain standard (Repeater, Transceiver, 10BaseT, etc.), this standard is displayed. If the port does not conform to any standard, Private is displayed.
Administrative Status
The administrative state of the selected port:
Enable - The port is enabled and can transmit and receive
packets.
Disable - The port is disabled and cannot transmit or receive
packets.
Tagging Mode The port’s operational mode regarding VLANs. The possible modes
are:
Clear - Transmits each outgoing packet in untagged format if it
belongs to the port’s VLAN. Otherwise, it discards the packet.
IEEE-802.1Q - VLAN tagging, per IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
standard. The port will transmit frames with a VLAN ID of 1 - 3071 for Avaya G250/G350 Devices and 1 - 4090 for Avaya G450 Devices.
VLAN ID The VLAN number of the port. Port Priority Level The priority level of packets exiting the port or ports on the module. Fo r
effective transmission, multimedia packet s must be received at regular intervals. To ensure this, you can assign priorities to packets coming out of a port.
Whenever traffic load is extreme and a port cannot accept all incoming packets, packets sent from a port with the highest priority will pass through first. However, a fairness mechanism will allow low priority packets to eventually enter the bus.
Possible values are: User Priority 0, User Priority 7.
