Demarcation points

A demarcation point defines the extent of Avaya's responsibilities for a product. Beyond this point, the customer is responsible for providing overall service. Generally, Avaya is responsible for all Avaya-provided equipment.

When installing a Message Networking system, you must be aware of the demarcation points for:

  • Switches not maintained by Avaya
  • LAN connectivity

Demarcation points for switches not maintained by Avaya

Avaya service technicians dispatched for Message Networking system installation are not responsible for making any direct connections to switches not maintained by Avaya.

Note: Avaya recommends joint acceptance testing for systems integrated with switches that are not maintained by Avaya.

For additional information concerning the extent of the installation, see the contract between the customer and Avaya.

Demarcation point for LAN connectivity

The demarcation point for the TCP/IP is the point of connection into the LAN circuit card. The customer is responsible for:

  • The LAN cable
  • The connector at the end of the cable for connection to the Message Networking system
  • LAN administration not performed on the Message Networking system
  • Maintenance of the TCP/IP addresses and administration of the Message Networking system after cutover, unless otherwise specified by contract
  • The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information for administration on the Message Networking system

Avaya service technicians dispatched for Message Networking system installation are not responsible for troubleshooting the customer's LAN.
