Menu

Through the Serial Port

To connect to the IOLAN through the serial port to configure/manage it using the CLI (or Menu), see Using a Direct Serial Connection to Specify an IP Address on page 76.

After you have established a connection to the IOLAN, you will get a Login: prompt. You can login as the admin user or as a user with Admin Level rights. If the login is successful, you will get a prompt that displays the IOLAN model and number of ports:

Login: admin

Password:

SDS2#

You will see a prompt that displays the model and number of the IOLAN. You are now ready to start configuring/managing your IOLAN using the CLI

Using the CLI

After you have successfully logged in, you can start configuring/managing the IOLAN by typing in commands at the prompt. If you are not sure what commands are available, you can type a ? (question mark) at any time during a command to see your options.

See the Command Line Interface Reference Guide for more information about the CLI.

Menu

Overview

The Menu is a graphical representation of the CLI. You can look up Menu parameter explanations in the Command Line Interface Reference Guide. The only operations that the Menu does not support are the downloading and uploading of files to/from the IOLAN.

Access Platforms

The Menu is accessed by any application that supports a Telnet or SSH session to the IOLAN’s IP address, such as Putty, SecureCRT, or from a command prompt. You can also access the Menu from a dumb terminal or PC connected to a serial port.

Features

The Menu supports the following features:

zYou can access the IOLAN from any application that supports Telnet or SSH.

zFor existing IOLAN+ customers, the native IOLAN+ menu interface can be used by entering the iolan+ command to display and use the native IOLAN+ menu interface. See your IOLAN User’s Guide for information on using the IOLAN+ interface. See IOLAN+ Interface on page 67 for more information about IOLAN+ interface.

Connecting to the IOLAN Using the Menu

To connect the IOLAN using the Menu, follow the directions for Connecting to the IOLAN Using the CLI on page 60.
