Chapter 2: Planning the System

Understanding Your Configuration

At a very basic level, Avaya Communication Manager consists of hardware to perform call
processing, and the software to make it run. You use the administration interface to let the
system know what hardware you have, where it is located, and what you want the software to
do with it.
You can find out which circuit packs are in the system and which ports are available by entering
the command list configuration all. There are variations on this command that display
different types of configuration information. Use the help function to experiment, and see which
command works for you.
To view a list of port boards on your system:
1. Type list configuration port-network. Press Enter.
The System Configuration screen appears.

The System Configuration screen shows all the boards on your system that are available for
connecting telephones, trunks, data modules and other equipment. You can see the board
number, board type, circuit-pack type, and status of each board's ports. The u entries on this
screen indicate unused ports that are available for you to administer. These might also appear
as p or t, depending on settings in your system.
