Command Line Interface

6

Overview

The 4900 Series DSLAMs have an integral command line interface (CLI) that can be accessed by direct connection to the COM port or by Telnet to the DSLAM’s management address.

CLI System Requirements

„Straight-Through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet Cable – Required for establishing a direct connection from the COM port to a DB9 adapter.

„DB9 Female to RJ45 Male Adapter – Required for conversion of your PC's RS232 serial port for use with the RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable.

„Terminal Emulation Program – Required for running the CLI over a direct connection. The program must emulate a VT100 terminal.

„Telnet Client – Required for remote management with the CLI. Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (98, 2000, NT, and XP) include a Telnet client which is executed using the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe). If you are using an operating system other than Windows, you may need to install a Telnet client.

Connecting a PC Directly

To connect a PC directly to the DSLAM to use the CLI:

Procedure

1.Plug a DB9 to RJ45 adapter into the RS232 serial port on your PC. See DB9 to RJ45 Adapter Pinouts in Appendix A, Connectors and Pin Assignments.

2.Connect one end of a straight-through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable into the adapter plugged into your PC, and the other end of the cable into the COM port on the face of the DSLAM.
