Starting the ONA
There are two ways to power the ONA, but you CANNOT use both ways at the same time:
• Connect a cable from a POE, POE+, or uPOE port on an Ethernet switch to the RJ-45 port with
the cloud symbol on the ONA.
• Use the optional external power adapter. This adapter can supply power to the ONA if there is
no PoE port available or, as a backup, if the PoE port fails.
May 2016 Avaya Open Networking Adapter 1101GT Installation Job Aid 4

Note:
The Status LED flashes slow blinking blue as the ONA starts diagnostic tests. If you did not start
any tests, the ONA bypasses the Diagnostics and slow blinks amber during boot up. This is
normal and does not indicate any error.
Connecting the ONA to the network
Procedure
1. Use a QR code reader application to get information about your ONA. The following is a
sample of the information in the QR code. QR code information is subject to change.
•SERIAL:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Serial number of this ONA)
•MAC:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (MAC address)
•MACNUM:16 (This ONA can have one of 16 MAC addresses. The 16 total MAC addresses
available start with the address reported above in the MAC field and includes the next
consecutive 15 addresses.)
•PEC:EC1100010-E6 (Avaya part number)
•MAN:AVAYA (Manufacturer’s name — Avaya)
•MOD:ONA 1101GT (Model number)
•REV:xxx (Revision number of this ONA)
2. Use the 10/100/1000 BASE-T RJ-45 port with the cloud symbol to connect the ONA to the
network. If the upstream switch port is POE, POE+, or uPOE capable, it will also power on
the ONA.
May 2016 Avaya Open Networking Adapter 1101GT Installation Job Aid 5

3. If PoE power is unavailable, connect the wall unit power adapter into the DC socket to
provide direct power.
The 10W 100–240 AC power adapter is sold separately and comes with four snap-in plug
adapters: Type A (U.S. and Japan), Type B (EU), Type G (UK), and Type I (AUS and China).
The part number is EC1105E11-E6.
4. (Optional) The ONA comes with zip ties that you can use to mount the ONA near the wall
unit power adapter, the device connected to the ONA, or any location you desire. There are
four slots on the top of the ONA and four slots on the bottom to give you multiple options for
securing the ONA.
Connecting your device to the ONA
Use the following figure and steps to connect your device to the ONA.
Procedure
1. Connect your device to the ONA using the 10/100/1000 BASE-T RJ-45 DEVICE port.
2. (Optional) Secure your ONA by attaching a Kensington lock to the slot above the lock icon.
3. If necessary, you can reset your ONA by inserting a paper clip into the reset switch pin hole
and pressing the switch for more than 1 second but less than 5 seconds.
Setting the ONA to factory defaults
The following parameters are the ONA factory defaults:
• Management IP Address :
May 2016 Avaya Open Networking Adapter 1101GT Installation Job Aid 6

• Management IP Subnet Mask :
• Default Gateway IP Address :
• Primary DNS Server IP Address :
• Secondary DNS Server IP Address :
• DNS Domain Name :
• SDN Controller IP Address or Name :
• Syslog Server IP Address :
• Operational Mode : 0
• Password :
Note:
All the fields are empty except the Operational Mode, which is 0 for the SDN Controller Mode.
Use the following procedure if you want to reset the ONA to the factory default parameters:
Procedure
1. Wait until the ONA starts and the Status LED flashes green. (You can enter this mode
anytime after the ONA starts.)
2. On the Device side of the ONA, insert a paper clip into the reset switch and depress it for at
least five seconds. This action clears the parameters so they are all empty fields (except for
Operating Mode) and then resets the ONA.
ONA Operational Modes
The ONA has two operational modes:
• SDN Controller Mode (Mode 0, the default mode)
• Fabric Extend Mode (Mode 1)
During reboot, the system checks the Mode parameter and proceeds accordingly. The ONA stays in
the mode you select unless you depress the reset button for at least five seconds. This causes the
ONA to revert back to the factory default parameters.
To change operational modes, use the Manual Configuration menu as described in the next section
Modifying Manual Configuration parameters on page 8.
You can also use the Manual Configuration menu to modify any of the other factory default
parameters. After you modify the parameters and save the configuration, the ONA stores your
changes in persistent memory and reboots.
Note:
Manual Configuration menu changes for default parameters are not required for SDN Controller
Mode 0 operation.
May 2016 Avaya Open Networking Adapter 1101GT Installation Job Aid 7

ONA can be configured with a Management IP address using DHCP. If no DHCP server is available
to provide the IP address to the ONA, use the Manual Configuration menu to configure the following:
• IP address in the "Management IP Address" field
• Subnet mask in the "Management IP Subnet Mask" field
• Default gateway in the "Default Gateway IP Address" field
• (For Mode 0 only) IP address of the controller in the "SDN Controller IP Address or Name" field
Setting the ONA to SDN Controller Mode 0
The SDN Controller Mode (Mode 0) enables the ONA to use the Fabric Attach feature, and establish
control plane communication with the SDN Controller. In Mode 0, the ONA must communicate with
an Avaya SDN Controller to operate correctly.
The ONA ships in Mode 0. If the mode changed and you want to use Mode 0, use one of the
following methods:
• Use the Manual Configuration menu to configure the "SDN Controller IP Address or Name" and
set the "Operational Mode" to 0.
• Depress the reset button for at least five seconds to reset the ONA back to the factory default
settings. This method clears all the parameters in persistent memory (including the controller’s
IP address) and sets the Operational Mode to 0. Because the "SDN Controller IP Address or
Name" is not configured when the ONA boots up, it uses a DNS query to get the SDN
Controller’s IP address and initiates a connection to the controller.
Setting the ONA to Fabric Extend Mode 1
The Fabric Extend Mode (Mode 1) enables the ONA to use the Fabric Extend feature. After you
select this mode, the ONA reboots and stays in Mode 1 unless you depress the reset button for at
least five seconds to enter SDN Controller Mode.
Modifying Manual Configuration parameters
To access the Manual Configuration menu to modify the parameters, press and hold the reset
button during a power on sequence.
Use the following procedure:
Procedure
1. Connect a PC to the RJ-45 port on the Device side of the ONA.
2. Insert a paper clip into the reset switch. Press and hold the reset button before applying
power to the ONA.
3. Connect the cable from the network switch to the Network side of the ONA for PoE power. If
PoE power is unavailable, connect an external power adapter.
4. Continue pressing and holding the reset button until the Status LED cycles through a red/
green/blue pattern. Then release the reset button. The Status LED will flash a steady amber,
which indicates that the Manual Configuration menu is running.

Restarting the ONA
Restart the ONA by disconnecting and then reconnecting power as described below:
•If the ONA is connected to a PoE capable network switch, disconnect the Ethernet cable
connected to the RJ-45 port with the cloud symbol. Wait at least 45 seconds and then
reconnect it.
• If the ONA is connected to an external power adapter, disconnect it for at least 45 seconds and
then reconnect it.
Running diagnostics on the ONA
Use the diagnostics to verify that the ONA is operating properly.
To enter Diagnostics, use following procedure:
May 2016 Avaya Open Networking Adapter 1101GT Installation Job Aid 11

Before you begin
Ensure the ONA is in Mode 0. Diagnostics only run in Mode 0.
Procedure
1. Disconnect the ONA from the network switch and any device it may be attached to.
2. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the ONA Device port to its Network port, as a loopback is
required to run diagnostics.
3. Connect the ONA to an external power adapter.
4. Watch the Status LED.
a. Slow blinking Amber indicates the ONA is booting.
b. Slow blinking Blue indicates that the diagnostics started.
5. Determine if the ONA passes or fails.
a. The ONA passes if it continues flashing slow blinking Blue.
b. The ONA fails if the Status LED is either fast blinking Red (for a continuous error in the
test) or slow blinking Magenta (tests are now passing but previous tests failed).
If the ONA fails, return it to Avaya.
The diagnostic tests do not exit automatically. You have to power cycle the ONA by
disconnecting the Ethernet loopback cable and the external power adapter. Then
reconnect the cables you disconnected in step 1 and the external power adapter to
reset the ONA.
If you do not disconnect the Ethernet loopback cable before resetting the ONA, the
diagnostics will restart.
If you disconnect the Ethernet loopback cable while diagnostics are running, it creates a
failure state and the Status LED flashes red, but the diagnostics continue running.
Upgrading a standalone ONA using the
Manual Configuration menu
Use this procedure to upgrade the ONA when you first receive it. This method uses a PC to access
the ONA’s Manual Configuration menu.
Procedure
1. From the PC that you are going to use for this upgrade procedure, go to the Avaya Support
website, http://support.avaya.com, and download the ONA software image that you want to
use.
2. Connect a PC to the RJ-45 port on the Device side of the ONA.
