Avaya C360 BUPS back-up power supply module.

The Avaya C360 BUPS can support up to four Avaya C360 switches.

●

One RJ45/RS232 front panel console connector that is used for both terminal and modem
sessions.

●

Three fan units with operation sensors for each switch.

One virtual IP address for managing the whole stack that allows the C360 stack to be
managed as a single entity.

●

The ability to hot-swap one switch at a time by activation of the redundant cable:

- Does not disrupt the operation of other Avaya C360 switches.

- Does not change stack configuration.

- Does not require network downtime.

Connection through Telnet from the front panel ports of any switch:

Building a stack

Follow the guidelines in this section in order to build a working stack using any combination of
the following devices:

●

P330 series

●

P330-ML series

●

G700

●

C360 series

1. Add only a single box at a time to an existing stack.

!

Important:

Important:

The stack master (also called "stack IP Agent") may fail to preserve existing
"stack configuration" if you will add more than a single device to an existing stack
at a time.

- After adding the first box, wait until the stack is functioning fully before adding the next

device.

2. Refer to

Table 6

to see which firmware versions can be used in mixed stacks.

For example, if you wish to add a P332G-ML to a stack with C360 4.5 switches, the
P332G-ML switch must have firmware version 4.5.8.

- Upgrade/downgrade the firmware of switches that do not match version in the table.
