M15-155 Installation Guide

Power-on Check

When you plug in the M15-155, wait until first the CPU LED lights and then the
OPR lights steadily before commencing work. If there are several M15-155
modules, one module will be elected as the Master Agent, and the NMA LED on
that module will also light ON. For a detailed explanation of the Master Agent
please refer to the Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide.

Connecting the Console Terminal

Initial software configuration of the M15-155 is done using a console terminal
connected to the Console connector on the front panel of the module. See the
Appendix for connector pin assignments.

To connect the M15-155 to a console terminal:
1. Turn on the VT100 terminal (or PC terminal emulator in VT100 or VT52 mode)

and set its communication parameters to:
Baud rate:

9600 bps

Start bit:

1

Data bits:

8

Stop bit:

1

Parity:

None

Refer to your terminal’s user manual for instructions on how to set these
parameters.

2. Insert the RJ-45 connector of the cable into the Console port on the M15-155

front panel (see Table 3 for connector pinout).

3. Insert the other end of the cable into the terminal’s RS-232 port.
4. Press

to verify that the cabling process was successful. The system

prompt appears (M770sXX:/>).

5. The CLI commands and the explanation of how to configure the switch are

described in the Avaya M770 ATM Switch User’s Guide.
