The Avaya VoIP modules are installed in a J-series chassis like Physical Interface Modules (PIMs), but they are controlled by Avaya Communication Manager software rather than JUNOS software.
![]() |
Caution: PIMs and VoIP modules are not hot-swappable. You must power off the Services Router before removing or inserting a PIM or VoIP module. Ensure that the PIMs and VoIP modules are installed in the router chassis before booting up the system. |
![]() |
Caution: The grounding cable for J-series routers must be, at minimum, 14 AWG cable. |
Avaya VoIP modules are described in the following sections:
Table 66 and Table 67 provide the module names, software release information, slot and port numbers, maximum number allowed on a chassis, and sample interface names (where applicable) for the Avaya VoIP modules.
![]() |
Caution: Do not install a combination of PIMs in a single chassis that exceeds the maximum power and heat capacity of the chassis. If power management is enabled, PIMs that exceed the maximum power and heat capacity remain offline for a J-series device when the chassis is powered on. |
On each J-series Services Router with Avaya VoIP, a single TGM550 Telephony Gateway Module (TGM) and at least one telephony interface module (TIM) is required. No more than four TIMs of any kind can be installed on a single chassis.

The TGM550 Telephony Gateway Module (Figure 26), also known as the TGM550 Gateway Module, has two analog telephone ports, two analog trunk ports, and a serial console port.
The TGM550 enables routers to provide VoIP services to telephones and trunks that do not directly support VoIP by translating voice and signaling data between VoIP and the system used by the telephones and trunks.

Note: The RJ-45 console cable and DB-9 adapter supplied with the TGM550 are different from those supplied with the Services Router. You cannot use the RJ-45 cable and DB-9 adapter supplied with the Services Router for console connections to the TGM550. |
Table 68 lists the maximum number of media servers, telephones, and so on that are supported by the TGM550 installed on a J4350, J6350, J2320, or J2350 device.

The TIM510 E1/T1 Telephony Interface Module (Figure 28), also known as the TIM510 E1/T1 media module, terminates an E1 or T1 trunk. The TIM510 T1/E1 media module has a built-in channel service unit (CSU) so an external CSU is not necessary. The CSU is used for a T1 circuit only. Up to two TIM510s can be installed in any of the slots on the Services Router.
