Avaya IR system use

1

PCI card slots

The platform includes one 33-MHz or 66 MHz 32/64-bit PCI slot (PCI-1) that is used for an additional Ethernet card. It also includes three 33-MHz, 32/64-bit peripheral component interconnect (PCI) slots (PCI-2. -3, and -4). Only two of these PCI slots can be used for telephony cards. The long PCI connectors accept both long and short PCI cards. PCI-4 is not used.

Serial connector a

The first serial port on the Sun Fire 280R platform is used to connect to the video monitor, if one is used.

3

Serial connector b

The second serial port is used to connect to an external modem and to the Access Security Gateway (ASG), which is used to control dial-up access to the Avaya IR system. Configuring the serial port for bi-directional communication allows remote users, such as Avaya support staff, to establish a connection to the system for remote administration and troubleshooting.
