Using the terminal program from the PC, enter the ATDT command with the appropriate telephone number to call the remote ONS 15216 EDFA2 modem. After the modems synchronize, log into the ONS 15216 EDFA2 using the correct user name and password. Refer to Chapter 5, “SNMP MIB Installation and Configuration,” Chapter 6, “ASH Commands,” and Chapter 9, “TL1 Commands,” for additional information on commands.

3.5.5 LAN Interface (Ethernet)

You can connect to the ONS 15216 EDFA2 to an Ethernet LAN for remote access.

Note Before communicating and managing the ONS 15216 EDFA2 via the Ethernet port, the user must first enter an IP address. To set an IP address, see Chapter 4, “Provisioning Using ASH and SNMP” or Chapter 8, “Provisioning Using TL1.”

Telnet is an application that allows remote management using IP over the Ethernet LAN. The following types of commands can be issued through a Telnet session:

SNMP MIB commands (Chapter 5, “SNMP MIB Installation and Configuration”)

ASH CLI commands (Chapter 6, “ASH Commands”)

TL1 commands (Chapter 9, “TL1 Commands”)
