To connect units within a single stack
1. Connect the light grey connector of the short Avaya X330SC cable (12 in, 30 cm) to the port
marked “to upper unit” in the bottom-most stack element.
2. Connect the dark grey connector of the same short X330SC cable to the port marked “to the
lower unit” in the unit above.
3. Repeat until you reach the top element in the stack.
Up to ten G700s and/or other Cajun devices can be stacked together.
To implement stack redundancy:
4. Use the Redundant Cable to connect the port marked “to lower unit” on the bottom element
to the port marked “to upper unit” on the top element of the stack.
If you have elements of a stack in two racks, you must use the Avaya X330LC cable to connect
them. You may not link more than 10 units to form a stack, but those units can be mounted in
more than one rack.
To link elements in multiple racks
1. Use the long (6ft, 2 m) Avaya X330LC cable to connect elements in two racks.
2. Connect the Avaya X330LC cable (dark grey connector) to the port on first unit of the stack
marked “to the lower unit.”
3. Connect the Avaya X330LC cable (light grey connector) to the port on the last unit in the
stack marked “to the upper unit.”
To implement stack redundancy:
4. Connect the dark grey connector of the black Redundancy Cable (X330RC) to the port
marked “to lower unit” on the bottom unit of the stack.
5. Connect the light grey connector of the black Redundancy Cable to the port marked “to
upper unit” on top unit of the stack.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: Do not cross-connect two stack elements with two Octaplane (light-colored)
cables. If you wish to cross-connect for redundancy, use a black redundancy
cable.
