Establishing Switch Access
This chapter describes various methods for accessing the Avaya P330 CLI,
including:
• a terminal to the serial port on the switch
• P330 Sessions
• a workstation running a Telnet session connected via the network
• a remote terminal/workstation attached via a modem (PPP connection)

Establishing a Serial Connection

This section describes the procedure for establishing switch access between a
terminal and the Avaya P330 switch over the serial port provided on the front panel
of the P330 (RJ-45 connector labeled "Console").

Configuring the Terminal Serial Port Parameters

The serial port settings for using a terminal or terminal emulator are as follows:
• Baud Rate - 9600 bps
• Data Bits - 8 bits
• Parity - None
• Stop Bit - 1
• Flow Control - None
• Terminal Emulation - VT-100

Connecting a Terminal to the Avaya P330 Serial port

Perform the following steps to connect a terminal to the Avaya P330 Switch
Console port for acessing the text-based CLI:
1 The P330 device is supplied with a console cable and a RJ-45-to-DB-9 adaptor.
Use these items to connect the serial (COM) port on your PC/terminal to the
Avaya P330 console port.
2 Ensure that the serial port settings on the terminal are 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop
bit and no parity.
3 When you are prompted for a Login Name, enter the default login. The default
login is root.
4 When you are promoted for a password, enter the user level password root.
Now you can establish a connection to the Router or the Master switch (indicated
when the SYS front panel LED is ON) using the Session commands and begin the
configuration of Module, Stack, or Router parameters.
