Configuring The Console Port For Modem Use - Avaya G250 Administration

Configuring the console port for modem use

The console port is labeled Console. The console port is an RJ-45 socket that functions as a
serial port. You can connect a console device or serial modem to the console port to access the
CLI. For more information, see
You can set the console port so that it automatically detects whether a console device or a
modem is connected to it. Use the async mode interactive command to set the console
port to use modem mode every time an Avaya proprietary modem cable is plugged into the
console port. If you do not want the console port to automatically detect when a modem is
connected to it, use the async mode terminal command to disable interactive mode.
Note:
By default, async mode is set to terminal.
Note:
Use the following commands to configure the console port for use with a modem:
Use the interface console command to enter the console interface configuration
●
mode. Use the no form of this command to set the console parameters to their default
values.
Use the async reset-modem command to reset the connected modem.
●
Use the speed command to set the PPP baud rate to be used by the console port when
●
connected to a modem (in bits per second). Options are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
115200. The default baud rate is 38400.
Use the async modem-type command to configure the console port for the modem type
●
you want to use. By default, the console port is set to work with MultiTech ZBA modems.
Set this command to USR-Sportster to use a USR-Sportster modem or to null to use any
other modem type.
Use the ip address command to assign an IP address to the console port. This is the IP
●
address to which a remote user can connect using telnet. For example, to assign the IP
address 192.168.22.33 to the console port, use the following command:
G350-001(if:Console)# ip address 192.168.22.33
There is no default IP address for the console port.
●
Use the ppp authentication command to decide the authentication method used
●
when starting a client session on the PPP server. Use this command with one of the
following parameters:
- pap — Password Authentication Protocol. An unencrypted password is sent for
authentication.
- chap — Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. An encrypted password is sent
for authentication. To configure this password, use the ppp chap-secret command.
- ras — reserved for future use
- none — no password is sent
