4 Initial Configuration

IMPORTANT: Prior to initial confi guration of the hardware, it is imperati ve to review the

entire Initial Confi guration section before proceeding to the Install ation section.

This section explains the considerations and requirements for the initial configuration of the VS-1200

series by a Command Line Interface (CLI) with a management PC using a terminal emulation

application connected either through the SERIAL DB9 port or though the MANAGEMENT RJ45

port. Only one configuration session can be open at a time.

The Command Line Interface (CLI ) is used to:

·set IP address (default 192.168.1.1), Subnet Mask (default 255.255.255.0) and Gateway

(default 0.0.0.0)

·set port speed and duplex

·enables the user to select which ports or groups of ports receive the data stream copies

·allows Any-to-Any ports to be configured as either inputs or outputs.

The VS-1200 series factory default is off for all Any-to-Any ports.

4.1.1 Basic Functionality

Window Size Functionality: The CLI window is limited to 24 lines per screen and 80 characters

per line. If more data than can fit is presented, a “-more-” prompt is shown on the last line.

Character Handling: Printable character (ASCII code 32-126) and non-printable noted below:

Non-Printable Character Description

·<enter key> Executes command; places command in history buffer

·<backspace key> Erases previous character entry; removes history buffer entry

Connectivity/Authentication Functionality: Connectivity to the configurable product is made

through the Management RJ45 or Serial DB9 port and authentication is required. This password

protection yields read-only access. To make configuration changes, Superuser (SU) mode must be

accessed with another password. See the 'Superuser Commands ' section for more information.

Base Prompt: This is the text presented to the user logging in to use the CLI (default values

shown). All Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

Enter Username: Administrator

Enter Password: admin

Superuser log in:
