Configuring the Analyzer through the Serial Configuration
Port
In situations where you do not have remote access (through the user interface software) to the analyzer, you
may want to configure the analyzer IP address parameters for both the Network 10/100/1000 (or 1000BASE-X
fiber) and Management ports before connecting the analyzer to a network. The analyzer has a serial
configuration port that provides this capability.
To configure the analyzer through the configuration port:
1 Connect the supplied RS-232 cable between the analyzer serial configuration port and a serial port on a
PC or terminal.
2 Run a terminal emulation application on the PC to access the configuration port command line
interface.
3 Press <Enter> and a prompt will appear that includes the SNMP name of the analyzer. If the analyzer is
password protected, a prompt for the password will appear to gain configuration access. If the analyzer
is not password protected, configuration access is directly available.
The configuration port command line interface provides four configuration "modes": Root, Remote,
Management, and Network configuration. The commands associated with each mode are described on the
next page.

Configuration Port Guidelines

The analyzer serial configuration port communication parameters are fixed to 115200 baud, 8 data bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit.
Commands are case insensitive. Password is case sensitive.
Parameters that are applied via the configuration port are retained after turning off the power to the
analyzer.
Entering an invalid command will cause a list of available commands to be displayed for the current
configuration mode.
Entering an invalid parameter to a command (where applicable) will cause a command usage message to
be displayed.
Access to change the configuration will time out after a period of inactivity when password protection is
enabled. You will have to enter the correct password to regain configuration access.
