Overview of 833IS
286 Perle 833IS User Guide
Similar procedures and commands for managing the installation and configuration
of Cisco products are incorporated into Cisco Configuration Mode. Familiar key
sequences and Cisco commands, wherever possible, are used to manage and
configure the 833IS through a Command Line Interface accessed via Telnet. Perle
commands, similar in format to Cisco commands, can be used whenever Cisco
commands are not applicable for configuring the 833IS unit.
In Cisco Configuration Mode, simple raw commands are required to configure the
833IS unit. However, there is no equivalent Cisco “Setup” script to initially
configure the unit. Therefore, it is recommended that the 833IS Manager, a
Windows-based application, be used to create an initial configuration for the 833IS.
This Manager software has intelligent defaults that will meet the needs of most
installations. The configuration can then be customized and updated using Cisco
Configuration Mode.
Regardless of the method with which you configure the 833IS unit, you can view the
statistics and current status of the 833IS via Telnet. Using standard Cisco commands
and/or a Syslog server, events occurring on the 833IS can be monitored and
analyzed.
