System Access

What provides initial access to the G700

Before the P330 stack processor is configured with an IP address, the only way to access it is
with a direct connection from your laptop to the Console port on the G700. With this connection,
you can assign the IP addresses to the G700 processors, which can then be accessed over the
customer LAN.

How is normal access to the S8300 and G700 provided

You can access the S8300 and G700 in several ways with either a direct connection or LAN
connection.
