Establishing Switch Access
This chapter describes various methods for accessing the Avaya P330 CLI and
logging in with the appropriate security level.
Methods for accessing the Avaya P330 CLI include using:
• a terminal to the serial port on the switch
• P330 Sessions
• a workstation running a Telnet or SSH session connected via the network
• a remote terminal/workstation attached via a modem (PPP connection)

Establishing a Serial Connection

This section describes the procedure for establishing switch access between a
terminal and the Avaya P330 switch over the serial port provided on the front panel
of the P330 (RJ-45 connector labeled "Console"). For information on the console port
pin assignments, refer to "Console Pin Assignments" on page 13.

Configuring the Terminal Serial Port Parameters

The serial port settings for using a terminal or terminal emulator are as follows:
• Baud Rate - 9600 bps
• Data Bits - 8 bits
• Parity - None
• Stop Bit - 1
• Flow Control - None
• Terminal Emulation - VT-100

Connecting a Terminal to the Avaya P330 Serial port

Perform the following steps to connect a terminal to the Avaya P330 Switch Console
port for accessing the text-based CLI:
1 The P330 device is supplied with a console cable and a RJ-45-to-DB-9 adaptor.
Use these items to connect the serial (COM) port on your PC/terminal to the
Avaya P330 console port.
2 Ensure that the serial port settings on the terminal are 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop
bit and no parity.
3 When you are prompted for a Login Name, enter the default login. The default
login is root.
4 When you are promoted for a password, enter the user level password root.
