Configuration Menu

Chapter 16

C o n f i g u r a t i o n M e n u

The configuration menu presents the same functionality in configuring the Digi CM as does the web interface, excluding the creation of custom menus. The configuration menu is navigated by using the number representing the menu item and the ESC key to return to earlier menus. Telnet to the Digi CM, log in (username root, password dbps) and enter configmenu to start any configuration. If you log in as admin, the configuration menu will automatically appear.

Accessing the Configuration Menu

The configuration menu is available through a Telnet or SSH session to the root user, system administrator, or port administrator. (Port administrator can only change serial port parameters.) The configuration menu enables the authorized users to configure the Digi CM with the same functionality as is available with the web interface. The only functionality missing from the configuration menu is the ability to create custom menus.

The root user, by default, is connected from a Telnet session to the Linux command line. In order to access the configuration menu, the root user enters configmenu at the command prompt. The configuration menu follows the layout of the web interface.

Choices for the configuration menu are made by selecting the number of a menu item. The ESC key allows you to move back a menu each time it is selected. Sometimes only one menu item is presented; however, that single menu item has two or more options that have to be configured.

Configuring

The Save changes option saves changes to flash memory only.

SSH

1.Choose Serial Port Configuration and then an individual port number or 0 (zero) for all ports.

2.Choose Host mode configuration > Protocol > SSH.
