Using the serial port

To connect to a terminal emulation program to manage the FastStream, use the serial port.

1Connect a cable from FastStream RS-232 serial port or header to the serial (COM) port on a personal computer.

2Start a terminal emulation program on the personal computer, and use it to connect to the FastStream. For example, if you are using Hyper Terminal on a computer running a Windows operating system:

a.Type FastStream in the New Connection dialog box.

b.Click OK.

c. In the Connect To dialog box in the Connect using field, select the COM port number to which your serial cable is connected.

d.Click OK.

e. In the COM Properties dialog box select the following values:

•Bits per second: 115200

•Data Bits: 8

•Parity: None

•Stop Bits: 1

•Flow Control: None

•Terminal type: ASCII

•Echo: off

f.Click OK.

3Turn on the FastStream.

4After you connect to the FastStream, start-up messages are displayed. The last line in the start-up message sequence is Ready.

Make adjustments to the FastStream using the Command Line Interface as described in CLI Provides an ASCII-based Interface on page i of the Appendix.

Note

In serial port sessions, there is no prompt on the line below the word Ready. Begin typing commands in the blank line where the cursor is resting. No user name or password is required for serial port access.

5To verify that you have connected successfully, type help after the Ready prompt and press

Enter.

If a list of all available commands does not appear on the screen, review the steps in this section, check the cable, or contact service personnel until the problem is solved.

If you have difficulty using the serial port, verify that you have the correct settings and that your serial cable is less then two meters in length.

Using Telnet

Up to three Telnet sessions using the FastStream Ethernet management port can be conducted simultaneously. A serial port session can use the CLI while Telnet sessions are open. Whichever session issues the first set CLI command that requires a SaveConfiguration can continue to issue set commands, while the other sessions can only issue get commands or display information.

Once a connection is established, refer to CLI Provides an ASCII-based Interface on page i of the Appendix.

1Connect to the FastStream from a computer on the same Ethernet network.

2Start a Telnet session.

Note

There is more than one way to connect to the FastStream using a telnet program.Your telnet program may operate differently than in the following instructions.

3At the telnet prompt, issue the open command where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the FastStream.

telnet > open x.x.x.x

4If you have to specify a port type, type in the port type “telnet” and the terminal type “SC100”.

port type: telnet

terminal type: SC100

5Type in the default values for the user name, root, and the password, Password, if you did not set new values in Changing current user name, password on page 19.
