Regaining Configuration Access to the PPP Serial Port Console

If you incorrectly configure the PPP serial port console, you cannot regain configuration access to the Web Agent or the CLI. This is a temporary situation and can corrected.

To regain configuration access to the Web Agent or the CLI when the console port is in PPP mode:

1. Enter TTY in the console window. The CLI login prompt displays. It may be necessary to press Enter several times to see the login prompt. You may see the modem init command string.
2. Enter your user name at the Login prompt. The password prompt displays.
3. Enter your password at the Password prompt. The switch CLI prompt displays.

Enter the PPP configuration commands necessary to start PPP. See Command Reference Guide for the Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice Switches, Software Version 6.2 for details about these PPP commands.

4. Enter exit at the CLI prompt after you complete your configuration settings to reinvoke the modem control software and exit CLI mode.

Note: You do not need to exit from CLI if the serial port console has been configured as a TTY console, or if you do not intend to re-attempt connecting using PPP.
