Logging In To The Cli; Logging In Through The Console Port For The First Time - HP MSR Series Configuration Manual

Logging in to the CLI

By default, the first time you access the CLI you must log in through the console port. At the CLI, you can
configure Telnet, SSH, or modem dial-in (through the AUX port) for remote access.

Logging in through the console port for the first time

To log in through the console port, make sure the console terminal has a terminal emulation program (for
example, HyperTerminal in Windows XP). In addition, the port settings of the terminal emulation
program must be the same as the default settings of the console port in
