Hot swapping media modules

Last Updated : Apr 30, 2024 |

Gateway Media Module maintenance is controlled by Communication Manager. Field replacement of some Media Modules can be performed without removing power to the gateway, also known as hot swapping.

Warning:

Hot swapping is not recommended for data modules because inserting the board resets G450 Branch Gateway and G430 Branch Gateway, and any translation and other data that are in the running configuration but have not been saved to the startup configuration are lost.

Caution:

The Avaya Expansion Modules and Cascade Modules are not hot-swappable. They are service-disrupting and can reset the entire G430 Branch Gateway upon insertion or removal. Turn off the system before any insertion or removal of Avaya Expansion modules.

The following Avaya Media Modules are hot-swappable:
  • DCP Media Module (MM712/MM717)

  • Analog Trunk/Telephone Port Media Module (MM711/MM714/MM716)

  • T1/E1 Media Module (MM710)

  • BRI Media Module (MM720/MM721/MM722)

Note:

This server can be a primary server for a network of IP endpoints and G450 Branch Gateway and G430 Branch Gateway, or it can be configured as a Survivable Remote Server, to become active only if connectivity to the primary server is lost.
