4550T Configuration for closet use

For closet use, there is no need to create separate VLANS as telephones hook up to the TLAN.

Connect a Serial cable to the front panel Console port, set a PuTTY (or Serial for OSX) to: 9600-8N1
Power up, and watch the console output during boot up.
At the Avaya logo, press Ctrl-y, followed by en

Check the current firmware version with show sys-info, and perform a Firmware Upgrade if required.
Factory Reset the switch: enter restore factory-default, and confirm. The switch will re-boot.
If a password is required but not known, see: Reset to Factory Defaults.

Setup:

At the Avaya logo, press Ctrl-y, followed by en
Type install to launch the set-up utility
Enter:
- IP address (Management)
- Sub-Net
- Gateway
- enter through all others
Disconnect serial cable, plug LAN into Port 1
Enter the Management IP in a PC browser window

Now we can continue using the web interface... (use Port 1 as the management port)

Configuration Backup

From the TTY, issue the following commands (with a TFTP server running on 10.10.10.1):

save config
copy running tftp address 10.10.10.1 filename ers.cfg

Alternatively, backup to a USB thumb drive plugged into the front panel with the following command:

copy run usb filename ers.cfg

Note: Details about setting up a local TFTP server, such as SolarWinds or PumpKIN, can be found elsewhere. Running a TFTP server is highly recommended. A TFTP server on your ELAN will assist with soft/firm/load-ware updates and configuration backups.
