Establishing a Modem (PPP) Connection with the W310

Overview

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a Layer 2 method for transporting multi-protocol
datagrams over modem links.

Connecting a Modem to the Console Port

A PPP connection with a modem can be established only after the
• W310 is configured with an IP address and net-mask, and the
• PPPP parameters used in the W310 are compatible with the modem's PPP parameters.
Use the following procedure to connect a modem to the W310 Console port.
1 Connect a terminal to the console port of the W310 switch as described in Connecting a
Terminal to the W310 Serial Port.
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 W310 to connect via its PPP interface.
5 Set the baud rate, ppp authentication, and ppp time out required to match your modem.
These commands are described in the "Avaya™ W310 Reference Guide".
6 At the prompt, type:
set interface ppp enable
7 Use the DB-25 to RJ-45 connector to plug the console cable to the modem DB-25
connector. Insert the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable into the W310
console port.
8 You can now dial into the switch from a remote station, and open a Telnet session to the
PPP interface IP address.
9 Go to
36
The PPP interface configured with the set interface ppp command must
be on a different subnet from the inband interface.
The CLI responds with the following:
Entering the Modem mode within 60 seconds...
Please check that the proprietary modem cable is
plugged into the console port
The W310 enters modem mode.
