Accessing the G700 processors using a serial
connection
This section covers how to access the P330 stack and G700 Media Gateway processors over a serial
interface. Information includes:
• Hardware and software requirements
• Serial connection login procedure
• Media Gateway Processor (MGP) session
Hardware and software requirements
To successfully establish a serial connection, your computer must have:
• A physical serial connection to the master controller of the G700 Media Gateway or P330 stack.
See Accessing the G700 processors using a serial connection for details.
• A serial-connection program such as Microsoft Windows
®
HyperTerminal installed.
Serial connection login procedure
1 . Launch the terminal emulation program for a serial connection on your computer, such as
HyperTerminal.
- If your computer is directly connected to the serial port, access that port. For example, using
HyperTerminal, choose Call.
- If you are accessing the system remotely over a modem, you need to set up a profile to dial in
to the Avaya P330 stack processor. See Setting up dial-up networking on Windows systems
for guidelines on how to do this. Initiate the call when ready.
2 . When the Login prompt appears, type the appropriate user name (such as cust).
3 . When prompted, enter the appropriate password.
4 . You are now logged in to the P330 stack processor CLI at the Supervisor level. The prompt
appears as P330-n(super)# where n indicates the stack number of the device containing the
master controller for the stack. If only one device is in the stack, the number appears as P330-1.
5 . In order to use the commands necessary to configure the stack processor, you must reset to the
Configure level of the CLI. Type configure
6 . The prompt now appears as P330-n(configure)#. Enter commands as needed.
- For example, you might type: set interface inband 1 192.168.23.2
255.255.255.0 to assign IP address 192.168.23.2 to the stack processor (the fields
before and after it are the VLAN group ID and the subnet mask).
- To check the syntax of a command, type as much of the command as you know followed by
help. For example, you could type: set interface help
