Avaya CLI Architecture, Access & Conventions

This chapter describes the Avaya P330 CLI architecture and conventions, and provides instructions for accessing the Avaya P330 for configuration purposes.

The configuration procedure involves establishing a Telnet session or a serial connection and then using the Avaya P330’s internal CLI. The CLI is command-line driven and does not have any menus. To activate a configuration option, you must type the desired command at the prompt and press Enter. You can also configure your Avaya P330 using the P330 Manager with its graphical user interface. For details, see the Avaya P330 Device Manager Appendix and the Avaya Multi-Service Network Manager P330 Device Manager User’s Guide on the Documentation and Utilities CD.

Establishing a Serial Connection

Perform the following steps to connect a terminal to the Avaya P330 Master Switch Console port for configuration of Stack or Router parameters:

1Use the serial cable supplied to attach the RJ-45 console connector to the Console port of the Avaya P330 Master Switch. Connect the DB-9 connector to the serial (COM) port on your PC/terminal.

2Ensure that the serial port settings on the terminal are 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

3When you are prompted for a Login Name, enter the default login. The default login is root.

4When you are promoted for a password, enter the user level password root.

5Now you can begin the configuration of Module or Stack parameters.
