Chapter 1: Before you Start
Before you install your Avaya G450 Media Gateway, prepare all the information, resources, and tools that
you need during the installation process.
Preparing the Pre-Installation Worksheet
The Electronic Pre-installation Worksheet (EPW) is a customized Excel spreadsheet that you can use to
collect configuration information. The EPW verifies that you have a complete set of installation information.
Once filled out by the customer and project manager, the EPW can be loaded directly into the Avaya
Installation Wizard (IW) or Gateway Installation Wizard (GIW) for configuration. The EPW should be
completed before the installation. Download the latest version of the EPW spreadsheet from the Avaya Web
site at http://support.avaya.com/avayaiw.
Preparing Contacts you might need
Ensure that you have the names and phone numbers of any people you might need to contact at the
installation site. This list might include the people responsible for network architecture, system
administration, site security, site deliveries, etc.
Preparing Installation Files
Ensure that you load the latest versions of all firmware files for the G450, S8300, and Media Modules onto
your laptop before configuration. If you install a G450 without an S8300 Server, the configuration process
prompts you for the filenames of all firmware files needed. You can download the firmware files needed for
your installation from the Avaya Support Web site, at http://support.avaya.com.
Preparing the G450 Serial Number
In order to create the license file, you need the serial number of the G450. The serial number is printed on a
sticker on the back of the G450 chassis.
Obtaining RFA access
You need to obtain a personal Single Sign-On (SSO) for Remote Feature Activation (RFA) web site
authentication login before going to the site for installation. You must complete the authentication process
before you can be assigned an SSO authentication login.

Before you Start
4 Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya G450 Media Gateway
As a first-time user:
●Business Partners should point their browsers to the Business Partner portal option sales_market,
services-voice, training tools and procedures to select RFA.
●Associates should point their browsers to the Avaya Associate portal.
●Contractors should point their browsers to Avaya.com.
●Alternatively go directly to http://rfa.avaya.com.
From that point, log into SSO and complete the process to obtain your personal login.
Downloading a G450 license file to your laptop
If you are installing VPN, obtain a VPN license file from the Remote Feature Activation (RFA).
1. Create a directory on your laptop for storing license files (for example, C:\licenses).
2. Access the Internet from your laptop and go to rfa.avaya.com.
3. Login using your SSO login and password. The AFS and RFA information home page appears.
4. Start the RFA application from the RFA information page. To create and download the license file,
follow the instructions outlined in the Avaya Remote Feature Activation (RFA) User Guide, 03-300149.
Downloading CM license and authentication files to your laptop
If you are installing a G450 with an S8300 Server as a primary controller, you need license and
authentication files for the Communication Manager.
1. Create a directory on your laptop for storing license and authentication files.
2. Access the Internet from your laptop and go to rfa.avaya.com.
3. Login using your SSO login and password. The AFS and RFA information home page appears.
4. Start the RFA application from the RFA information page. To create and download the license file and
authentication file, follow the instructions outlined in the Avaya Remote Feature Activation (RFA) User
Guide, 03-300149.
5. Use the download or e-mail capabilities of the RFA web site to download the license and
authentication files to your laptop.
Preparing the INADS IP address
The INADS IP address is required in order to configure the S8300’s modem for alarming. If you are
preparing a G450 with an S8300 for a remote installation, you must first obtain an INADS IP address. Use
the Automatic Registration Tool (ART) to obtain an IP address for an INADS alarming modem.
1. Access the ART Web site on your laptop at http://art.dr.avaya.com.

2. Select Administer S8x00 Server products for installation script, and then log in.
3. Enter the customer information, select Installation Script, and click Start Installation script & IP
Addr Admin. A script file is created and downloaded or e-mailed to you.
Preparing Needed Hardware
●Laptop – to configure the Avaya G450 Media Gateway, you need to prepare a laptop with a serial port.
The laptop must have Internet Explorer installed. If you install a G450 without an S8300, you must
prepare the laptop with a Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system and a TFTP server.
●Modem – in order to set up a remote configuration of the G450, you must prepare a USB modem.
Currently, the G450 supports the MultiTech USB modem, model MT5634ZBA-USB-V92. If a USB
modem is not available, you can also use a serial modem, the Multitech MultiModem ZBA,
MT5634ZBA-V92.
Preparing Tools Needed for Mounting
To mount on a rack or wall, prepare a Phillips head screwdriver.
To mount on a wall prepare also:
●Plywood board ½ in (1.2 cm) thick and at least 2 x 2 ft (0.6 x 0.6 m) in size
●Minimum of four wood screws
●Minimum of four screws (pan head at least ½ in, # 10-12 screw) to fasten the G450 to the wall
You might also need wire cutters to attach the grounding conductors, if your site uses a ground block.
Choosing the Installation Site
Ensure that the location where you install your G450 fulfills the following requirements:
●Cables are away from sources of electrical noise such as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers,
power lines, fluorescent light fixtures
●Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the chassis.
●Air can flow freely around all sides of the chassis.
●The vents on the sides of the case are not blocked.
●The installation is no more than 25 feet (7.6 m) from an approved ground.
Note:
Note: If the G450 is more than 25 feet away from an approved ground, you must contact a licensed
electrician to install a supplementary ground conductor.
●The environmental conditions match the following requirements:
●Ambient temperature – 32oto 104oF (0oto 40oC)

Before you Start
6 Quick Start for Hardware Installation: Avaya G450 Media Gateway
●Relative humidity – 10-90% relative humidity
●Minimum clearance for ventilation – 18 in. (45 cm)
●Weight support – 22.5-35 lbs (10-16 kg)
