Chapter 8 Troubleshooting Tools 81

For either method, your user account must be assigned the System-CLI privilege before you can access the CLI.

Accessing the CLI through a serial connection

Caution: The CLI is intended for use by experienced technicians, or as directed by Nortel Technical Support. Improper use of the CLI may result in data loss.

1Connect a serial cable with a 9-pin female connector from the serial port on a PC to the serial port on the BCM450.

2Ensure that you use the following settings:

bits per second: 115200

data bits: 8

parity: N

stop bits: 1

no flow control

3Use a terminal emulation program, such as Hyperterminal or Nortel CLI Manager, to establish a connection to the BCM450.

4Log into the BCM450 by entering your username and password. Your user account must be assigned the System-CLI privilege in order to access the CLI.

Accessing the CLI through the OAM port

Caution: The CLI is intended for use by experienced technicians, or as directed by Nortel Technical Support. Improper use of the CLI may result in data loss.

1Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on a PC to the OAM Ethernet port on the BCM450.

2Set the IP address of the PC to 10.10.11.2.

3Use putty to establish an SSH connection to the default IP address of the OAM port: 10.10.11.1.

4Log into the BCM450 by entering your username and password. Your user account must be assigned the System-CLI privilege in order to access the CLI.

Using the Configuration CLI

The Configuration CLI dislays when the system is in Main OS mode. The options available on the Configuration CLI are:

0—Exit.The system exits the CLI to the login prompt.

1—Reboot.The system reboots to the Main OS.
