Chapter 5: Prepare for Configuration

This chapter provides information on preparing the P330 for configuration, and discusses the following topics:

●Establishing a Console Connection

●Assigning a P330 IP Stack Address

●Establishing a Telnet Connection

●Configuring the Switch

Establishing a Console 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 the Avaya P333T User Guide.

Note:

Figure 6 shows the front panel of the P333T. The location of the Console port is the same on all P330 switches.
