Preparing For A Remote Configuration Of The G450; Preparing For A Remote Configuration Of The G450 Through The Network - Avaya G450 Quick Start For Hardware Installation

Preparing for a remote configuration of the G450

The G450 can be remotely configured through the network or via a modem.

Preparing for a remote configuration of the G450 through the network

If you need to prepare the G450 for remote configuration through the network, run the installation script for
newly installed gateways. The installation script configures the gateway's basic network parameters
required to achieve network connectivity: VLAN number, IP address, IP netmask, IP address for the
default router, MGCs list, and hostname . A remote technician can then further configure the gateway as
required.
Run the installation script after installing the G450 and connecting it to power, as described in previous
chapters.
Note:
The installation script is supported from branch gateway firmware version 29.22.x.
Note:
1. Prepare a laptop with SSH client software.
2. Set the laptop's TCP/IP properties as follows:
- IP address: 192.11.13.5
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.252
- Disable DNS service
- Disable WINS Resolution
3. Connect the laptop computer to the G450 Services port, using an Ethernet cable.
4. SSH to 192.11.13.6.
5. At the prompt, enter username root and password root.
6. At the prompt, configure a new password.
7. At the prompt, enter y to configure basic gateway connectivity.
Note:
If you enter n but then change your mind, you can use the script-config CLI command
Note:
to run the installation script, so long as you have not saved any configuration changes you
may have made.
8. You are prompted to configure the following parameters. For each parameter, you can enter a
value, or press Enter to accept the default value shown in square brackets :
- VLAN number
- IP address for the primary management interface
- Subnet mask for the primary management interface
- IP address for the default gateway (router)
- Up to four IP addresses to specify the Media Gateway Controllers
- Hostname for the G450
