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.

Selects a VLAN. Ports that are not on the selected VLAN appear dark gray in the Chassis View.

VLAN ID

Port Priority Level

The VLAN number of the port.

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.

Power Over Ethernet

This chapter provides information about Power over Ethernet (PoE) and includes the following sections:

• PoE Overview

• Viewing PoE Information

PoE Overview

PoE provides power to IP telephones over an Ethernet line using an Avaya G350 device. The power is transmitted via the device’s ports to the IP telephones over the same cable carrying IP packets.

The Avaya G350 device automatically discovers the connection and removal of IP telephones from the in-line powered ports and provides power accordingly.

The Avaya G350 provides the power using an internal 225 watt power supply over a 48 volt feed. It is possible to attach an external power supply either for additional power, or as an alternative power supply should the internal power supply fail.

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.

- An overview of Media Gateway

- Information about viewing

- Information about Avaya’s

The Avaya G350’s Media Gateway converges the power of Avaya Call Processing (ACP) software with the power of distributed switching from the Avaya G350 Device. It provides IP PBX functionality using open standards and an open operating system. The device connects to ACP using either an internal or external call controller. The ACP serves as the G350’s gatekeeper.
