Avaya G430 - Connecting the Trunk

Trunk ordering
• Make sure that the telephone service provider installs the trunk near the physical location of
the Branch Gateway and verifies that the trunk is working properly before you contact the
technician who is performing or supervising the configuration
• Note the telephone number of the trunk
Special considerations when ordering an analog trunk
When you order an analog trunk, there are several recommendations depending on your system’s
particular needs:
• For optimal functioning of the MM714B Emergency Transfer Relay feature, it is
recommended to use a loop-start trunk
• For access to voice mail systems in the United States, it is recommended to use a ground
start trunk to ensure that calls are properly disconnected when the outside caller disconnects.
- Ground start trunks may be provided via the MM711, MM714B or MM714 media modules.
Note:
If you use the MM714B with ground start, you must use a ground start button for ETR.
• Request conditioned lines to ensure satisfactory voice quality and trunking interactions

Services port of the Branch Gateway or S8300, or remotely via a modem connected to the

Note:
Sync timing configuration for a T1/E1 trunk is done via the CLI.
