be necessary to press Enter several times to see the login prompt. You
may see the modem init command string.
2. Enter your user name at the Login prompt. The password prompt
displays.
3. Enter your password at the Password prompt. The switch CLI prompt
displays.
Enter the PPP configuration commands necessary to start PPP. See
Command Reference Guide for the Avaya P580 and P882
Multiservice Switches, Software Version 6.1 for details about these
PPP commands.
4. Enter exit at the CLI prompt after you complete your configuration
settings to reinvoke the modem control software and exit CLI mode.
* Note: You do not need to exit from CLI if the serial port console has
been configured as a TTY console, or if you do not intend to re-
attempt connecting using PPP.
