Connecting a PC Directly
Initial configuration using the CLI requires a direct physical connection from your PC to
the COM port of the DSLAM, management card, or Network Extender you are
configuring. (However, the web interface is recommended for subsequent configuration.)
Procedure
1. Plug a DB9 to RJ45 adapter into the RS232 serial port on your PC. See
RJ45 Adapter Pinouts
2. Connect one end of a straight-through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable into the
adapter plugged into your PC, and the other end of the cable into the COM port on
the face of the network extender.
Launching the Terminal Emulation Program
Launch the terminal emulation program on your PC and configure the program settings.
Actual configurations will depend upon the program being used, though settings should
be modeled after the list below; most are standard defaults. Refer to your terminal
emulation program's user manual for further information.

Logging Into the CLI
Once your terminal emulation program has been launched, device information is
displayed, followed by a request for username and password. You must log in as a
superuser in order to make configuration changes.

After you have logged in, enter a question mark (?) to list the available commands.
Using the CLI to Establish Inband Management
CLI Set commands are used to establish inband management. For example:
set slot 1 ip_address 137.182.10.251
set slot 1 subnet_mask 255.255.255.0
set slot 1 default_gateway 137.182.10.10
set slot 1 inband_management on
The Subscriber unit in this example can now be managed with NMS by attaching a PC
to one of the network extender's Ethernet ports and opening the address
137.182.10.251 in a web browser.
