Connecting The Console Cable; Configuring The Terminal Serial Port Parameters; Connecting A Modem To The Console Port - Avaya P333T User Manual

Connecting the Console Cable

The Avaya P330 has one serial port on the front panel of the switch for connecting a
terminal, a terminal emulator, or a modem.
The serial port on the front panel is labelled "Console" and has a RJ-45 connector.
Connect the P330 to a terminal or a terminal emulator using the supplied console
cable and the RJ-45 to DB-9 adaptor. To connect a modem, use the supplied cable
and an RJ-45 to DB-25 adaptor.
Note: The cable and two adaptors can be found in the accessory set, and they are
clearly marked.

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 Modem to the Console Port

A PPP connection with a modem can be established only after the
Avaya P330 is configured with an IP address and net-mask, and the PPP parameters
used in the Avaya P330 are compatible with the modem's PPP parameters.
1 Connect a terminal to the console port of the Avaya P330 switch as described in
Connecting the Console Cable on page 29.
2 When you are prompted for a Login Name, enter the default name root.
3 When you are prompted for a password, enter the password root. You are
now in Supervisor Level.
4 At the prompt, type:
set interface ppp <ip_addr><net-mask>
with an IP address and netmask to be used by the Avaya P330 to connect via its
PPP interface.
Note: The PPP interface configured with the set interface ppp command
must be on a different subnet from the stack inband interface.
