How would I access ASA if I didn't have a network connection and needed to use dialup? It's for an s8300/g700 and I do have an analog line to the avaya modem?

Also, if for some reason dialup wasn't available how do you connect directly to the console to use ASA?

I know there's something to setup on the PC first but I've never done this and have no detailed instructions.

To configure ASA for a new dialup connection, click on the icon under the word "File" at the top of the screen. This will open an "Add Voice System" window, just follow the prompts.

First you name the new system, click next, modem connection is highlighted by default, click next, device will be analog modem, click next, select the com port your modem is on, click next, port setting defaults should be ok, click next, enter phone number to be dialed, click next, leave defaults on this screen, click next, choose automatic login or manual login, if you choose automatic login the next couple screens is where you set up your login and password. You are now at a screen that lists all the selections you made, click back if you want to change anything. If not, you can test it here to make sure it connects, if not then click next. Now click finish.

I thought you can't just dialup only using ASA and had to do something else on the PC to establish the connection then launch ASA. Very confused over this.

martinyoung

Do you have customer access to the INADS port? Log into the S8300 and list logins, look at the logins and make sure that they say INADS port access is yes.

Also what are the logins you see from your access level?

the system is in transit to be installed at a site of ours tomorrow and in case I need to log into it w/o our network being ready I want to have the ability to do that.

martinyoung

If you never had dialup access to this switch before, you may not have it now. That has to be turned up in the PBX.

You cannot dial directly into an S8xx0 platform ... AT ALL. You must create a PPP dialup network connection and then telnet into the server using TCP port 5023. In order to establish the PPP connection you would have had to have ALREADY set up a login of type "remote."

There is no "console" port on the S8300 (although there is on the G350/G700/Gxxx). To physically access the S8300 you will need to connect a network cross-over cable to the "Services" port on the front of the S8300. Your laptop's ethernet port should be configured as 192.11.13.5 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252 and you should telnet to 192.11.13.6 TCP port 5023.

Depends on the CM version and if telnet is enabled. Newer releases (4 and 5) require you to establish an SSH connection not telnet. Still use the 192.11.13.6 address but check the SSH button on page 2 or 3 when you set up ASA.

Why can't we all just go back to 9.5, much easier then.

ahays

Actually, that's not correct. You can control Telnet access via the Maintenance Web Interface on CM 4 and 5. Telnet is disabled by default, but you can easily turn it on with the click of a mouse.

Ok I'm having difficulty with this. I am working remotely so there is a remote login into the switch taht I'd just need to change the password for. So on a laptop with XP I have to setup a PPP connection first but what is the criteria for that? Meaning what fields and tabs have to be setup?

Once that end of it's done and you hear a connection then what do you do.... just launch ASA?? I'm very confused and cannot find doc for this anywhere.

Here are my notes on creating a Dialup Network Connection


Setup Definity Login for Modem:
1. Add login (varies based on CM version)
2. Type - Customer
3. Service Level - Remote
4. User Name: ???
5. Password: ???
On computer setup VPN connections:
1. Open Network Connections
2. Create New Connection
3. Choose "Connect to the Network at my Workplace"
4. Choose "Dial-up Connection"
5. Name the connection
6. Phones number (include 9, if needed)
7. Choose "anyone's use"
8. Choose "finish"

Open the properties of the connection just built above:
1. OPTIONS tab: Uncheck "Prompt for name and password, certificate, etc.
2. SECURTIY tab: Check "Show terminal Window"
3. NETWORKING: Uncheck "NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS…."
4. NETWORKING: Uncheck "Client for Microsoft Networks"
5. NETWORKING: Uncheck "Client Service for NetWare"

Setup Avaya Site Admin with New Site Connection:
1. Setup new Network connection
2. IP adress of the processor
3. Port 5023
4. Dadmin login and password

Connect to the system using the Dial Up VPN:
1. Double click on the VPN icon and hit dial.
2. Login with the modem login - "modem"
3. Use the modem password - "modem01"
4. After you see "Start PPPnow!" hit "DONE"
Now you can use Avaya site admin with the Processor IP address
Or use IE and put the IP Address in the address bar to get to the linux menu.


Hope this helps.

Ok, i've followed the steps for the connection. I've added a remote user id but everytime I go to login after the connection hits i get login/password pairing is invalid. I don't get what's wrong.
