The Command Line Interface

This chapter describes how to access and use the HL950 Command Line Interface.
3.1

Access the Command Line Interface (CLI)

You can access the CLI locally or remotely as shown in the figure below:
3.1.1

Access the CLI via Console Port

This is a basic method for commissioning a new HL950.
1. Connect a PC to the HL950 CONSOLE port by means of a standard RS-232 cable.
2. Restart the PC (if required by your operating system).
3. Open a terminal window or start at terminal session on the PC. For example, if you use the
Hyper Terminal emulator available under the Windows operating system, connect as follows:
In the Connection Description dialog box, enter a name and select an icon for the
!
connection.
In the Connect to dialog box, select COM1 (or COM2) depending on which serial port
!
you are using.
In the COM1 (or COM2) Properties dialog box, enter the following port settings:
!
Baud rate: 9600, Data: 8 bit, Parity: none, Stop: 1 bit, Flow Control: none.
The HL950 displays the command line. Enter the user name and password.

3.1.2

Access the CLI via Ethernet Local LAN

Use this method for in-service OAM. In this case, the HL950 Ethernet ports already have been
configured for LAN access so that the HL950 management system can be accessed from the IP
network using Telnet.
NOTE!
The HL950 Telnet Service must be running before you can connect via Telnet. If Telnet is not
running, you must connect to the HL950 using the CONSOLE port and use the start
service telnet command to start the service. (For security reasons the Telnet service is
disabled by default).
