4 Initial Configuration

IMPORTANT: Prior to initial configuration of the hardware, it is imperative to review the

entire Initial Configuration section before proceeding to the Installation 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.

4.1Command Line Interface (CLI)

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.

4.1.1Basic 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 22 ' 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:

Example: > SU

Enter Password: password
