Accessing the CLI and Basic Configuration

This chapter explains the basic configuration procedure using the Command Line Interface (CLI) as your device management tool. Proceed with the following:

•“Using a Terminal” on page 43

•“Communication Parameter Set-Up Requirements” on page 44

•“Logging into the CLI Using the Terminal Emulation Program” on page 46

•“Assigning the IP Address” on page 47

The Passport 4460 is shipped from the factory with a pre-configured IP address (192.168.200.200). After you have accessed your Passport 4460 using this IP address, you should assign an IP address specific to your Passport 4460 network through the CLI.

Using a Terminal

Note: This procedure can be done using any terminal emulation program. The sample procedure below uses Windows 95’s HyperTerminal program.

Before you can access the CLI in your Passport 4460 unit, you must have followed the physical installation procedures found in Reference for Passport 4460 Hardware, 205677-A, and powered-up the unit.
