Software Configuration

This section describes the general software configuration of the AES-100 through the command line interface.

3.1Command Line Interface

The AES-100 uses text command lines as the user interface for software configuration. Before discussing the details of configuration, the rules of the commands are listed below.

1.The command keywords are in regular courier font.

2.The command keywords must be entered exactly as shown, i.e., no abbreviations are allowed.

3.The required fields in a command are enclosed in angle brackets (<>), e.g.,

list port <port number>

means that you must specify the port number for this command.

4. The optional fields in a command are enclosed in square brackets ([]), e.g.,

config [save]

means that the field save is optional.

5. “Command” refers to a command used in the command line interface (CI command).

Use of commands not documented in this manual is hazardous; you can render the system totally

unusable.

3.2Console Connection

For the initial configuration, you must use the console port. After the initial setup, you can telnet to the system to perform additional management tasks. To connect to the console port, use an RS-232 cable to connect the AES- 100 to a seria l (COM) port of a computer.

You can use any terminal emulation program, e.g., Windows’ built-in HyperTerminal, with the following parameters:

§VT100 terminal emulation

§9600 bps

§No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

∙No flow control
