Chapter 6: Branch Gateway configuration

Branch Gateway configuration

The Branch Gateway requires software configuration. The Branch Gateway can be configured by
using the Avaya Branch Gateway Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is a comprehensive tool
for configuring the gateway and includes all supported configuration tasks. For information about
configuration by using the CLI, see Administering Avaya G430 Branch Gateway. For information
about CLI commands, see Avaya Branch Gateway G430 CLI Reference.
The Branch Gateway can be accessed:
• At the customer site through a laptop connected to the Services port of the Branch Gateway.
• From a remote location through a modem. For information about connecting and enabling a
modem.
• Remotely through the network. For information about preparing a newly installed Branch
Gateway for configuration through the network, see
connectivity

Modems for remote access

You can connect a USB modem to the Branch Gateway to enable configuration from a remote
location.
If an S8300 is installed in the Branch Gateway, leave a modem connected permanently to enable
reporting of alarms to remote locations.
Modem access is not supported if FIPS mode is enabled in the gateway.

Configuring basic Branch Gateway connectivity

About this task
You can run an installation script on a newly installed Branch Gateway to configure the basic
network parameters required to achieve network connectivity. A remote technician can then further
configure the gateway as required. Note that the installation script does not require running any
CLI command.
