Defining The Usb-Modem Interface; Defining Other Interfaces - Avaya G450 Manual

Configuration overview

Defining the USB-modem interface

If you intend to use a USB modem to connect to the G450, you should also assign an IP
address to the USB-modem interface. It is not necessary to include a subnet mask.
1. Enter interface usb-modem to enter the USB-modem context.
2. Use the ip address command to define a new IP address for the USB-modem interface.
The following example assigns an IP address of 10.3.3.2 to the USB-modem interface:
G450-001(super)# interface usb-modem
G450-001(super-if:USB-modem)# ip address 10.3.3.2
Done!

Defining other interfaces

Your next step should be to define the other interfaces required by your system specifications.
See Defining an interface
Once you have defined your interfaces, you can define a Primary Management IP address
(PMI). The PMI is the IP address which the G450 uses to identify itself when communicating
with other devices, particularly the Media Gateway Controller (MGC). Management data
intended for the G450 is routed to the interface defined as the PMI. You can use any interface
as the PMI. For instructions on how to define the PMI, see
Management Interface (PMI)
Once you have defined a PMI, you must register the G450 with an MGC. The MGC is a call
controller server that controls telephone services on the G450. The MGC can be internal or
external. See Configuring the Media Gateway Controller (MGC)
Once you have performed these steps, the G450 is ready for use. Other configuration tasks
may also have to be performed, but these steps depend on the individual specifications of your
G450 and your network.
Most G450 configuration tasks are performed using the G450 CLI. Avaya also provides several
GUI applications that are designed to perform the basic configuration tasks described in this
section. See Configuration using GUI applications
