Setting Ip Address Using Serial Port - Avaya AP-7 User Manual

Troubleshooting the AP-7

Setting IP Address using Serial Port

Use the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI. The network
administrator typically provides the AP IP address.
Hardware and Software Requirements
Standard straight-through serial data (RS-232) cable with a one male DB-9 connector and
•
one female DB-9 connector. The AP comes with a female 9-pin serial port.
ASCII Terminal software, such as HyperTerminal.
•
Attaching the Serial Port Cable
To attach the serial port cable:
1. Connect one end of the serial cable to the AP and the other end to a serial port on your
computer.
2. Power on the computer and AP, if necessary.
Initializing the IP Address using CLI
After installing the serial port cable, you may use the CLI to communicate with the AP. CLI
supports most generic terminal emulation programs, such as HyperTerminal (which is included
with the Windows operating systems). In addition, many web sites offer shareware or
commercial terminal programs you can download. Once the IP address has been assigned, you
can use the HTTP interface or the CLI over Telnet to complete configuration.
Follow these steps to assign the AP an IP address:
1. Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following
connection properties:
Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>
l
Baud rate: 9600
l
Data Bits: 8
l
Stop bits: 1
l
Flow Control: None
l
Parity: None
l
2. Under File > Properties > Settings > ASCII Setup, enable the Send line ends with line
feeds option.
Result: HyperTerminal sends a line return at the end of each line of code.
