Every system has an additional Ethernet card in PCI-1 slot (default configuration from
Sun).

Install only the NMS AG-4000 quad telephony cards with four digital interfaces.

Unused digital interfaces must be terminated with loop around plug (provided by NMS).

If one telephony card is used, install in PCI-2 slot. If two cards are used, install in PCI-2
and PCI-3 slots.
•
The fourth PCI slot (PCI-4) is always unused.
Connecting the platform to the LAN
An Avaya IR platform must be connected to a local area network (LAN) for use with a backup
repository server and to communicate with other optional servers that provide speech
services, ASAI or CTI functionality, and VoIP connectivity.
The Avaya IR platform contains a network interface card (NIC) to communicate with the LAN.
