Accessing the Command Line

To configure the NETServer from the command line, you must log in as the supervisor.

1.In order to login, you need a login prompt. There are three ways to get one:

∙Attach the provided serial cable to the CONSOLE port and attach the other end of the cable to a terminal (or a PC running terminal emulation software such as Win- dows Terminal). See the Quick Start Guide for more information.

∙Using communications software, dial into any modem port that is configured to support user login or network dial in (by default, they all are). The data format is 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity (8-N-1).

∙If you have configured the LAN port (Ethernet interface) to communicate with a local TCP/IP network, you can Telnet to the NETServer using the address assigned to this port. For information on configuring the LAN port, see Getting the LAN Port Up and Running, later in this chapter.

Note that if you are just turning the NETServer on, it may take a few seconds after the NETServer begins to boot before the login prompt appears. If the login prompt does not appear, try hitting the Enter key.

2.Login as the supervisor/superuser by typing the following:

!root Enter

(Must be all lower case!)

3.The password prompt appears. The default is no password at all. If you have changed the password for the !root account, type the new password in and press the Enter key.

Otherwise, just press

Enter

4.The “Command>” prompt appears. The NETServer is now ready to be configured.
