5.2. Communicating with the CMS-6R4

In order to conﬁgure the unit or invoke command functions, you must ﬁrst

connect to the CMS-6R4 and access command mode. As discussed in

Section 3, the CMS-6R4 offers two separate command interfaces: the Web

Browser Interface, and the Text Interface.

The CMS-6R4 also offers three different methods for accessing command

mode; via network, via external modem, or via local PC. The Web Browser

Interface is only available when the CMS-6R4 is contacted via network, and

the Text Interface is available via network, modem or local PC. The sections

that follow describe the procedure for accessing the Web Browser Interface or

Text Interface.

Note: Conﬁguration functions are only available when you have

logged into the CMS-6R4 command mode using a password that

permits access to the Supervisor Mode.
