Administrator's Guide for Avaya Communication Manager
November 2003
Standard PC or network printer port is required for
connecting to a printer to produce station button
labels.
Required for network access to the S8700 Media
Server, AUDIX, and other network-connected
systems.
One free serial port capable of 9600-bps operation is
required for a connection to each serial device
(UPS).
Avaya recommends that PCs have at least a 16550A
UART or 16550A UART simulator (capable of 56
kbps DTE-speed connections). USB and internal
modems should emulate this hardware.
A second serial port is required for simultaneous
connection to AUDIX through a serial connection.
