The Console port is labeled CONSOLE. The Console port is an RJ-45 socket that functions as a serial port. You can connect a console device or serial modem to the Console port to access the CLI.

You can set the Console port so that it automatically detects whether a console device or a modem is connected to it. Enter async mode interactive to set the Console port to use modem mode every time an Avaya proprietary modem cable is plugged into the Console port. If you do not want the Console port to automatically detect when a modem is connected to it, enter async mode terminal to disable interactive mode.
