TGM550 Access Requirements

Administrators can use the root password to access the TGM550 initially, but all users need a TGM550 user account (username and password) set up by the network administrator for regular access to the module. For information about user accounts on a TGM550, see the Administration Guide and CLI Reference for the Avaya IG550 Integrated Gateway.

Note: You cannot use a Services Router user account to access the TGM550 CLI.

• A console connection requires the Ethernet rollover cable and adapter provided with the TGM550. (See Connecting Through the TGM550 Console Port.)
• An SSH connection requires that the TGM550 have an IP address assigned.
• A Telnet connection to the TGM550 requires that the module have an IP address and that Telnet service be enabled on the module.

To assign an IP address to the TGM550, see Configuring a VoIP Interface with Quick Configuration or Configuring the VoIP Interface (Required).

To enable Telnet, see Accessing the TGM550 with Telnet.
