Rack mounting singles - ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+
To rack mount a single ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch:
Use the 3510-Single Rack Mount
Accessory Kit (AL3511003-E6) to
mount a single ERS 3510GT or
ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch in a
standard 19" rack.
1. With the front of the
ERS 3510GT or
ERS 3510GT-PWR+
unit facing you, attach
the small bracket from
the optional kit to the
right side of the switch
using the flathead
screws provided.
2. With the front of the ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ unit facing you,
attach the long bracket from the optional kit to the left side of the switch
using the flathead screws provided.
3. Slide the switches into
the rack. Insert and
tighten the rack
mount screws.

Wall Mounting - ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+
To wall mount an ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ unit:
a. Drill two 4.5 mm diameter
holes (separated 108.5 mm
WALL SECTION WITH
apart horizontally) in the DRILLED HOLES
wall or surface where you
want to mount the unit.
Refer to the figure below.

b. Press fit the plastic body of conical 108.5mm HOLE SEPARATION
drywall anchors into each of the
drilled holes.
c. Install a tapping screen into each
anchor and fully set it to expand the
anchor into the wall or surface.
d. Back the screw out from the fully
seated position by 1.5 mm.
e. Slip the ERS 3510GT or ERS
3510GT-PWR+ chassis capture
slots over the exposed screw heads
to hang it from the wall or surface.

Configuring Stacking
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series provides fail-safe stackability.
You can connect up to eight ERS 3500 Series devices in a stack to provide
uninterrupted connectivity for up to 192 to 208 ports. You can manage the stack
as a single unit.
To install/add a unit to a stack, you must change the default mode from
standalone to stacking mode and reboot the unit. See NN47203-303 for
more details.
Note: Stacking is not available for ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switches.
Stacking is only supported with switches operating with Release 5.1 or
later software.
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Swith 3524GT, 3524GT-PWR+, 3526T, and
3526T-PWR+ back panel provides a Unit Select switch, Cascade Down port, and
Cascade Up port for stacking purposes as shown below:

To create a stack connection, order the appropriate Avaya Ethernet Routing
Switch 3500 Series cascade cables to ensure fail-safe stacking. For stacking
three or more units (maximum eight units per stack), order the 46 cm, 1.5 m, or
3 m cables as applicable (see "Before You Start" – step 3 for Order Codes).
1. Ensure that all switches for the stack are rack mounted.
2. Slide the Unit Select switches on the back of the units to the appropriate
position, depending on whether they are a base unit or non-base unit:
• Base Unit (Unit 1) - Slide the Unit Select switch to the RIGHT
• Non-Base Unit (Units 2-8) - Slide the Unit Select switch to the LEFT
NOTE: The Base Unit Select switch defaults to be in the Non-Base position.
Only one switch in the stack must have the Base Unit Select switch set to the
Base position.
Because stack parameters are associated with the base unit, the physical stack
order depends on the base unit position and whether you configure the stack
cascade up (stack up) or cascade down (stack down). This designation depends
on the stack cabling arrangement.
IMPORTANT: Avaya recommends that you use a Cascade Down configuration.
3. Connect stacking cables as required for a Cascade Up (stack up) or Cascade
Down (stack down) configuration as shown below:
Cascade Down - Recommended configuration
1 = Base unit
2 = Last unit
3 = Cascade/Stack Cable
4 = Cascade/Stack Cable (Return cable to make
stack resilient. Use longer stack cable if required.)
Cascade Up configuration
1 = Base unit
2 = Last unit
3 = Cascade/Stack Cable
4 = Cascade/Stack Cable (Return cable to make
stack resilient. Use longer stack cable if required.)

Powering Up
8
Connect the AC power cord to the back of the switch or switches, and then plug
the other end of the cord into an AC power outlet. If powering up a stack of
switches, power on all switches together.
Warning: You must use a power cord set approved for the 3500 Series switch and
the power receptacle type in your country.
9
Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to be sure the PWR LED is
lit. If not, check that the power cord is plugged in correctly.

Console Port pin assignments
The console port is the RJ-45 port shown with a blue border outline on the
front of your ERS 3500 Series switch (note orientation). The port is labeled
console, and can be used to establish a management terminal connection to
the switch.
Console port
You can use an RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to connect the switch console port to your
management terminal. Avaya recommends you use the Avaya RJ-45 Console
Cable part number: AL2011022-E6. Alternatively a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter or
other suitable console cables can be used - the maximum length of a console
cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters). The following table describes the RJ-45 console
port pin-out information. You can use the pin-out information to verify or create
a console cable for use with your maintenance terminal.

Setting IP parameters using the console port and CLI Quickstart
To set IP parameters using the console port and CLI Quickstart, perform the
following tasks:
a. Connect a terminal to the console port of the switch.
Any terminal or PC with an appropriate terminal emulator can be used as
the management station. The Terminal emulation settings table below
lists the parameters that must be used with any terminal emulation software
used to connect to the switch.
To connect to the switch console port, you require
a console cable with an RJ-45 connector to match
the console port on the switch.
b. Set the terminal protocol on the terminal or terminal emulation program to
VT100 and VT100/ANSI.
c. Connect to the switch using the terminal or terminal emulation application.
d. The Avaya switch banner appears when you connect to the switch through
the Console port. Enter Ctrl+Y and type the following CLI commands:
• enable
• install
The ERS 3500 will set a default IP address of 192.168.1.1/24 by default if
the switch does not get its IP from another source.
The CLI Quickstart welcome screen helps you to enter the information
requested at each prompt.
