About installation and cabling
The Avaya G700 Media Gateways can be installed in a variety of configurations:
● As a standalone unit with one G700
● With multiple G700 Media Gateways in a stack
● In combinations of Media Gateways and Avaya C360 family devices (see Building a
stack on page 89).
Up to ten G700 Media Gateways and/or Avaya C360 devices can be combined in a single
stack. The G700s can be controlled by an Avaya S8300, S8400, S8500, or S8700/S8710 Media
Server.
In a typical installation, you arrive at the site equipped with all the tools and information needed
to install a G700 and, possibly, an S8300.
In this section, you complete the following procedures:
● Verifying the on-site checklist on page 99

Tip:
Tip: It is recommended that you consult with the customer network manager for IP
and DNS addressing, as well as for testing the installation.
Also, before proceeding with the installation, you should verify that the proper environmental
and safety conditions exist.
