The Management Interfaces (CLI and Web)

The Access Gateway supports various methods for managing the system remotely. These
include, an embedded graphical Web Management Interface (WMI), an SNMP client, or
Telnet. However, until the unit is installed and running, system management is performed
from the Access Gateway's embedded CLI via a direct serial cable connection. The CLI can
also be accessed remotely.
Until the unit is installed on the customer's network and a remote connection is established, the CLI is the
administrator's window to the system. This is where you establish all the Access Gateway start-up
configuration parameters, depending on the customer's network architecture.
The Access Gateway Menu is your starting point. From here, you access all the system administration items
from the 5 (five) primary menus available:
•
Configuration
•
Network Info
•
Port-location
•
Subscribers
•
System
Although the basic functional elements are the same, the CLI and the WMI have some
minor content and organizational differences. For example, in the WMI the "subscribers"
menu is divided into "Subscriber Administration" and "Subscriber Interface." See also
"Menu Organization (Web Management Interface)" on page 57.

Making Menu Selections and Inputting Data with the CLI

The CLI is character-based. It recognizes the fewest unique characters it needs to correctly identify an entry.
For example, in the Access Gateway Menu you need only enter
must enter to access the Subscribers menu and
su
the letter "s").
You may also do any of the following:
Enter (back) or press
 b
Press Esc to abort an action at any time.

Press Enter

Press at any time to access the CLI's Help screen.
 ?
When using the CLI, if a procedure asks you to "enter sn," this means you must type
key. The system does not accept data or commands until you hit the Enter key.

Menu Organization (Web Management Interface)

When you have successfully installed and configured the Access Gateway from the CLI, you can then access
the Access Gateway from its embedded Web Management Interface (WMI). The WMI is easier to use (point
and click) and includes some items not found in the CLI. You can use either interface, depending on your
preference.
For a complete description of all features available in the WMI, see Using the Web Management Interface
(WMI) on page 64.
