Display the available boards (cards) and ports.
To view a list of boards on your system, type list configuration station and press
The System Configuration screen shows all the boards on your system that are available for
connecting phones. You can see the board number, board type, circuit-pack type, and status of
each board's ports.

Choose an available port and record its port address.
Each port that is available or unassigned is indicated by a 'u.' Choose an available port from a
board type that matches your phone type (such as a port on an analog board for an analog phone).
Every phone must have a valid port assignment, also called a port address. The combined board
number and port number is the port address. So, if you want to attach a phone to the 3rd port on
the 01C05 board, the port address is 01C0503 (01=cabinet, C=carrier, 05=slot, 03=port).
Tip:
If you add several phones at one time, you may want to print a paper copy of the System
Configuration screen. To print the screen to a printer attached to the system terminal, type
list configuration station print and press
use for scheduled reports, type list configuration station schedule immediate and press
ENTER
5
Choose an extension number for the new phone.
The extension you choose must not be assigned and must conform to your dial plan. You should
also determine whether this user needs an extension that can be directly dialed (DID) or reached
via a central phone number.
Be sure to note your port and extension selections on your system's paper records.
Physically connecting the phone
Once you have collected all the information, you are ready to physically wire the port to the
cross-connect field.
If you have an Avaya representative or on-site technician who completes the physical connections, you
need to notify them that you are ready to add the phone to the system. To request that Avaya install the
new connections, call your Avaya representative to place an order.
