ADTRAN NetVanta 1550 Series Quick Start

Quick Start

ETTING TARTED
To access your NetVanta 1500 Series device with firmware versions earlier then the supported
Extended Maintenance Release (EMR), currently R13.5.3, you have two options:
■ ADTRAN Operating System (AOS) command line interface (CLI)
■ Web-based graphical user interface (GUI)
The GUI lets you configure the main unit settings and provides online guidance and explanations
for each setting. However, you may need to use the AOS CLI for more advanced configurations.

NOTE
It is recommended to upgrade all ADTRAN switches to the current firmware release (currently
R13.5.3). This is especially true of the 1550 series switches since they can become completely
un-responsive with BVS1.0 firmware. This firmware is available on our Website at
www.adtran.com under Support > Product Downloads > Software Releases.
Upgrades can be done during working hours and the required reboot will not happen until the
administrator requests the reboot with the CLI command or Web interface. The Web interface
firmware upgrade is usually the easiest method. Firmware can be loaded and waiting until the
maintenance window occurs and allows reboot.

CCESS THE
Access the AOS CLI via the CONSOLE port or a Telnet or SSH session. To establish a
connection to the NetVanta unit CONSOLE port, you need the following items:
■ PC with VT100 terminal emulation software
■ Micro USB 2.0 5-pin type B cable or DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable (rollover cable)
g
NOTE
There are many terminal emulation applications available on the Web. PuTTy, SecureCRT, and
HyperTerminal are a few examples.
1. From the CONSOLE interface, you can set the IP address of the switch which will allow you
Web access later. The default credentials are:
Username: admin
Password: password
2. Using a PC to connect to an Ethernet port on the switch, you can access the switch CLI
with telnet or SSH, if the IP address of the switch has been configured and there is a
username and password set. The IP address of the switch is set to DHCP (by default,) so it
would be assigned by a DHCP server on a network connected to the switch or the switch
default IP address will not be reachable. The default credentials are:
Username: admin
Password: password
