ADC MM701F MANAGING THE MODEM USING 4 THE CONSOLE PORT & TELNET

MANAGING THE MODEM USING 4 THE CONSOLE PORT & TELNET

You can manage the MM701F using a Web browser, console port, and telnet session.

In comparison, you can manage more of the modem’s functionality using a Web browser rather than using the modem console port and telnet access. For example, you can enable or disable spanning tree through the modem Web interface, but not through the console port or telnet. The same applies for deleting a WAN session and selecting ATM VBR as a quality of service.

However, there are scenarios in which using the command-line interface is preferred over the Web interface. For example, if you cannot connect to the modem through the DSL line and 10Base-T port, you can still manage the modem through the console port.

To prevent losing your configuration changes, save them as described in “Saving the Current Configuration” on page 60.

The following sections describe how to use the command-line interface:
