Avaya ERS 3510GT-PWR+ User manual

To rack mount a pair of ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switches:
Use the 3510-Pair Rack Mount Accessory Kit (AL3511002-E6) to mount two ERS
3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switches together side-by-side in a standard
19” rack.
Note: When mounting two 3510GT-PWR+ units side by side in an equipment rack,
run the switches in high power mode to ensure adequate airflow.
1. Ensure power is disconnected from the switch.
2. Connect the two ERS 3510GT switches together by opening the hinged bracket
to 90° and attaching it to each ERS 3510GT switch with three M4 flat head
screws (included), as shown below.
3. Attach the standard rack mount bracket ears to the outer end of each switch as
shown below.
4. Once the switches are joined together, fold the hinged bracket inward.

AND SCREW DETAIL
(Optional) Prepare the rack:
a. Provide the equivalent of one rack of vertical space for each switch in an EIA or
IEC-standard 19-inch (48.2-centimeter) equipment rack.
b. Ensure that the equipment rack is stable and securely attached to a
permanent structure.
c. Ground the rack to the same grounding electrode used by the power service in
the area. The ground path must be permanent and must not exceed 1 Ohm of
resistance from the rack to the grounding electrode.AVAYA recommends using a
filter or surge suppressor.
•Stacking cables as require (see Step 7)
5. Perform one of the following:
• To connect two ERS 3510GT or two 3510GT-PWR+ switches together use
the rear bracket as shown below, with four M4 pan head screws to secure the
switches at the rear. Once the rear bracket has been installed, the switches can
be installed in the rack.
• To connect one ERS 3510GT switch and one ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch
together use the offset rear bracket with four M4 pan head screws to join the
switches at the rear. Once the rear bracket has been installed, the switches can
be installed in the rack.
Note: If you are mounting a mix of ERS 3510GT and ERS 3510GT-PWR+ units
side by side, ensure that the ERS 3510GT unit is mounted on the LEFT side
(when viewed from the front) for adequate airflow.
a. Slide the switch into the rack.Insert and tighten the rack-mount screws.
6. Slide the switches into the rack. Insert and tighten the rack mount screws.
7. Verify that the switch is securely fastened to the rack.

5c Rack mounting singles - ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+
To rack mount a single ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch:
Use the 3510-Single Rack Mount
Accessory Kit (AL3511003-E6) to
mount a single ERS 3510GT or
ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switch in a
standard 19” rack.
1.With the front of the
ERS 3510GT or
ERS 3510GT-PWR+
unit facing you, attach
the small bracket from
the optional kit to the
right side of the switch
using the flathead
screws provided.
To set IP parameters using the console port and CLI Quickstart, perform the
following tasks:
a. Connect a terminal to the console port of the switch.
Any terminal or PC with an appropriate terminal emulator can be used as
the management station.The Terminal emulation settings table below
lists the parameters that must be used with any terminal emulation software
used to connect to the switch.
To connect to the switch console port, you require
a console cable with an RJ-45 connector to match
the console port on the switch.
b. Set the terminal protocol on the terminal or terminal emulation program to
VT100 and VT100/ANSI.
c. Connect to the switch using the terminal or terminal emulation application.
d.The Avaya switch banner appears when you connect to the switch through
the Console port. Enter Ctrl+Y and type the following CLI commands:
•enable
•install
The ERS 3500 will set a default IP address of 192.168.1.1/24 by default if
the switch does not get its IP from another source.
The CLI Quickstart welcome screen helps you to enter the information
requested at each prompt.

The console port is the RJ-45 port shown with a blue border outline on the
front of your ERS 3500 Series switch (note orientation).The port is labeled
console, and can be used to establish a management terminal connection to
the switch.
Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to be sure the PWR LED is
lit. If not, check that the power cord is plugged in correctly.
Connect the AC power cord to the back of the switch or switches, and then plug
the other end of the cord into an AC power outlet.If powering up a stack of
switches, power on all switches together.
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series provides fail-safe stackability.
You can connect up to eight ERS 3500 Series devices in a stack to provide
uninterrupted connectivity for up to 192 to 208 ports. You can manage the stack
as a single unit.
To install/add a unit to a stack, you must change the default mode from
standalone to stacking mode and reboot the unit.See NN47203-303 for
more details.
Note: Stacking is not available for ERS 3510GT or ERS 3510GT-PWR+ switches.
Stacking is only supported with switches operating with Release 5.1 or
later software.
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Swith 3524GT, 3524GT-PWR+, 3526T, and
3526T-PWR+ back panel provides a Unit Select switch, Cascade Down port, and
Cascade Up port for stacking purposes as shown below:
Base Unit Select Switch – used to designate the base unit in a stack.
Cascade Down and Cascade Up ports – used to connect a switch to the
next unit in the stack through a cascade cable. Connect one end of the
Cascade Down cable to the Cascade Up port of the next switch in the stack
(shown in the three-switch stack connection block diagram below):
Base Unit Select switches
To create a stack connection, order the appropriate Avaya Ethernet Routing
Switch 3500 Series cascade cables to ensure fail-safe stacking. For stacking
three or more units (maximum eight units per stack), order the 46 cm, 1.5 m, or
3 m cables as applicable (see “Before You Start” – step 3 for Order Codes).
1. Ensure that all switches for the stack are rack mounted.
2. Slide the Unit Select switches on the back of the units to the appropriate
position, depending on whether they are a base unit or non-base unit:
• Base Unit (Unit 1) - Slide the Unit Select switch to the RIGHT
• Non-Base Unit (Units 2-8) - Slide the Unit Select switch to the LEFT
NOTE: The Base Unit Select switch defaults to be in the Non-Base position.
Only one switch in the stack must have the Base Unit Select switch set to the
Base position.
Because stack parameters are associated with the base unit, the physical stack
order depends on the base unit position and whether you configure the stack
cascade up (stack up) or cascade down (stack down).This designation depends
on the stack cabling arrangement.
IMPORTANT: Avaya recommends that you use a Cascade Down configuration.
Warning:You must use a power cord set approved for the 3500 Series switch and
the power receptacle type in your country.
The 3500 Series switches begin switching data after the switch is powered up and
has loaded the agent code software which is indicated by both the PWR and
Status LEDs being lit solid green.
You can use an RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to connect the switch console port to your
management terminal. Avaya recommends you use the Avaya RJ-45 Console
Cable part number: AL2011022-E6. Alternatively a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter or
other suitable console cables can be used - the maximum length of a console
cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters). The following table describes the RJ-45 console
port pin-out information.You can use the pin-out information to verify or create
a console cable for use with your maintenance terminal.
