G250/G250-BRI Module Overview
The Avaya G250 and G250-BRI Branch Office Media Gateways w/FIPS (HW P/N 700356231,
700356223 Version 1.0, FW Version 24.16.0) are complete branch office business
communications systems that integrate a TDM/VoIP telephony gateway, an advanced IP WAN
router, and a PoE LAN switch into a compact (2U) chassis. Ideally suited for enterprise with
distributed branch office locations of 2-10 extensions, the G250 and G250-BRI Gateways
replace the complexity and cost of managing disparate key and voice systems with a survivable
networked solution that is easy to deploy and can be administered from a central location
The G250 and G250-BRI share common hardware and firmware compatibility, other than that
G250-BRI contains additional ISDN-B circuitry with 2 ISDN-BRI trunks plus 1 Analog trunk
versus 4 Analog trunks in G250. The rules in this policy generally apply to all the above
devices. Exceptions are explicitly rendered by device name, otherwise general cryptographic
module notation is used.
The Avaya G250 and G250-BRI Branch Office Media Gateway w/FIPS are multi-chip stand-
alone cryptographic modules encased in a commercial grade metal case. The cryptographic
module provides status output via LEDs and logs available through its management interface.
The cryptographic module provides network interfaces for data input and output. The
cryptographic module provides a separate port for control input.
G250 cryptographic boundary includes all of the components within the physical enclosure of
the chassis without any expansion modules plugged in. The figure (Figure 1) illustrates G250
cryptographic module:
