IRIS CLI interface using Telnet

IRIS also provides a CLI interface for certain advanced configuration and diagnostics. You will

need a PC to connect using telnet. You should be able to connect to IRIS from the HFC side if

you have successfully been able to bring up a cable modem. The easiest way to connect to IRIS is

from the Ethernet interface of IRIS.

Connecting from the cable interface

If you have connected a cable modem to the cable network you can connect to IRIS using a PC

connected to the cable modem. Make sure the cable modem’s “cable” LED is steady which

indicates that the cable modem is configured correctly and is up and running. If the “cable” LED

is either off or still blinking the cable modem is not up yet, use the “Connecting from Ethernet

interface” or “Connecting using serial console” methods.

Set your PC’s Ethernet interface to be configured using dynamic host control protocol or DHCP.

As soon as your PC is connected to the Ethernet port of the cable modem it will be assigned an IP

address with the “10.71.0.X” domain.

Telnet to IRIS

You can now telnet from Windows Start Menu/Run option by typing

“telnet 10.71.0.1” and selecting OK button. You will be greeted with the following

messages and a “login” prompt in the telnet window.
