1.
Using a standard network switch console or “rollover” cable, connect the serial port on the
PC, or a USB-to-serial adapter, to the console port on the front of the switch.
2.
Open a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY and connect to the switch
using the following serial settings: 9600, N, 8, 1; no flow control.
If the switch does not respond by initiating a terminal session, try turning it off and on again.
As the switch boots up, the terminal emulator window should start displaying log
messages.

When the AVAYA logo appears, it will also display a status area indicating the switch
model, hardware version, firmware version, and the software version.

Press Ctrl+Y. A prompt showing the switch model number will appear—for example,
