Lucent Technologies Network Access Module Using the Command Line Interface, Connect a Console

Using the Command Line Interface 5

The ComOS commands can be used to configure the INA module directly through the ComOS command line interface. You access the command line interface through the console port C0 using a terminal or PC running a terminal emulator. Once the module has been connected to a network, the best way to access the command line interface is through a Telnet session from a network workstation.

This chapter shows the basic ComOS commands that are used to configure the INA module. Further details can be found in the PortMaster Command Line Reference and the PortMaster Configuration Guide.

The following configuration steps are discussed:

•“Connect a Console” on page 5-1

•“Log In” on page 5-2

•“Set the Administrative Password” on page 5-2

•“Set the Ether0 Network Address” on page 5-3

•“Set the System Name” on page 5-4

•“Set the Default Route Gateway” on page 5-4

•“Use Name Resolution (Optional)” on page 5-4

•“Configure the WAN Port” on page 5-5

Before configuring the INA module with the command line interface, make sure you have done the following:

•Assigned T1/PRI channels to the INA module. See “Assign T1/PRI Channels” on page 2-2.)

•Collected all the information needed for your network. (See “Network Settings” on page 2-2.)

Connect a Console

There are three ways to establish a console session. You can use the console port, a Telnet session or use the MERLIN MAGIX internal modem and the WinSPM passthrough option.

Using the C0 Console Port

You can connect to the console port with a terminal or a PC workstation running a terminal emulation program. See “Connect a Console (Optional)” on page 3-3for more details.
