Planning the System
Understanding Your Configuration
At a very basic level, Avaya Communication Manager consists of hardware to perform call processing,
and the software to make it run. You use the administration interface to let the system know what
hardware you have, where it is located, and what you want the software to do with it.
You can find out which circuit packs are in the system and which ports are available by entering the
command
list configuration all
configuration information. Use the help function to experiment, and see which command works for you.

The System Configuration screen shows all the boards on your system that are available for connecting
phones, trunks, data modules and other equipment. You can see the board number, board type,
circuit-pack type, and status of each board's ports. The u entries on this screen indicate unused ports that
are available for you to administer. These may also appear as p or t, depending on settings in your system.
You will find many places in the administration interface where you are asked to enter a port or slot. The
port or slot is actually an address that describes the physical location of the equipment you are using.
A port address is made up of four parts:
•
cabinet — the main housing for all the server equipment. Cabinets are numbered starting with 01.
•
carrier — the rack within the cabinet that holds a row of circuit packs. Each carrier within a
cabinet has a letter, A–E.
•
slot — the space in the carrier that holds an individual circuit pack. Slots are numbered 01-16.
•
port — the wire that is connected to an individual piece of equipment (such as a phone or data
module). The number of ports on a circuit pack varies depending on the type.
