•Stop Bit - 1

•Flow Control - None

•Terminal Emulation - VT-100

Connecting a Terminal to the Avaya P330 Serial port

Perform the following steps to connect a terminal to the Avaya P330 Switch Console port for accessing the text-based CLI:

1The P330 device is supplied with a console cable and a RJ-45-to-DB-9 adaptor. Use these items to connect the serial (COM) port on your PC/terminal to the Avaya P330 console port.

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