Using the AlliedWare Operating System CLI
Depending on the model, an ASYN0/CONSOLE and/or ETH0 port is on the
front of the switch for installation and maintenance.
1. To use the ETH0 port, physically connect it to the terminal or PC, and
check that the port’s LEDs are lit. This means a link has been established
between the port and the PC. For NEBS compatibility, the cable must be
shielded and grounded at both ends, especially if permanently connected.
The default configuration contains the following commands:
enable ip
add ip int=eth0 ip=192.168.242.242
Set the PC to an IP address in the 192.168.242.0 subnet, and then establish
a Telnet session to 192.168.242.242.
2. To use the ASYN0/CONSOLE port, physically connect it to the
terminal or PC with the RJ-45 DB9 cable that is supplied. For NEBS
compatibility, the cable must be shielded and grounded at both ends,
especially if permanently connected.
Set communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation
program to the following:
• bit rate: 9600
• data bits: 8
•parity: None
• stop bits: 1
• flow control: Hardware
For information about terminal emulation, see Using Windows Terminal and
HyperTerminal in the Hardware Reference.
3. Log in at the prompt.
If using the ASYN0/CONSOLE port, the login prompt is displayed after the
switch has booted. If not, press the Enter key two or three times.
When the switch boots for the first time, it automatically creates an
account with manager privileges. The login name for the account is manager
and the password is friend.
At the login prompt, enter the login name and password as follows:
Login: manager
Password: friend
The switch’s command prompt is displayed upon successful login.
