Configuration Methods

When your EDS boots for the first time, it automatically loads its factory-default configuration settings. For a list of the factory-default configuration settings, see

A:Factory Default Configuration.

For convenience, there are three ways to configure the EDS.

‹Using the Web Manager interface

‹Using the CLI through a SSH/Telnet session or an EDS8/16/32PR serial port.

‹Using the XML interface

These unified configuration methods provide access to all features, giving you the same level of control over the EDS8/16/32PR regardless of the configuration method you choose.

Configuring from the Web Manager Interface

With this method, you can use a Web browser to configure the EDS using a Web-based graphical point-and-click interface. The advantages to this method are ease of use and location independence. With this method, you can configure the EDS from any location that has access to a Web browser and the Internet.

Configuring via an SSH/Telnet Session or Serial Port Using the

CLI

The EDS provides a command-line interface (CLI) designed to enable the configuration and systems management functions that can also be performed through the Web Manager and XML interfaces. To configure the EDS using the CLI, you must either start an SSH or Telnet session or use a terminal or a computer attached to one of the EDS serial ports or the console port on the EDS8/16/32PR.

The difference between the SSH/Telnet and serial interfaces is the physical connection paths to the EDS. With an SSH/Telnet session, you can configure the unit without having to be in the same location as the EDS. The serial-interface method, however, requires a terminal or computer to be attached to an available EDS serial port. This means the terminal or computer must be in the same location as the EDS.

Note: Before using SSH, you must first load or generate RSA or DSA keys.
