Configuration methods

The devices can be configured as follows:
• connected directly locally
The devices support the following configuration methods:

• Configuration via the serial interface

• Configuration via Configuration Stick

2.1.1 Configuration via the serial interface
EDS500 500FSD20 modems can be configured via the serial interface console0.
With a configuration cable the device can be connected to the serial interface of a PC.
Ready-made cables to connect to a 9-pin Sub-D-plug are available at Hitachi Energy.
For operation of the command console (command line interface, CLI) use a common terminal
program (e.g. Tera Term, PuTTY, HyperTerminal).
The default value for the serial interface is: 57600 Baud 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit), no
flow control.
With the help of the terminal program you can enter commands as alpha-numeric commands
that are executed after pressing "Enter". For operating the command line interface (CLI) refer to
Chapter 2.2, "Handling of the Command Line Interface (CLI)"
If a login password has been set for user authentication (Chapter 2.3, "User authentication"), then
this has to be entered when asked to do so before access to the management console is activated.
2.1.2 Configuration via configuration stick
If you plug in a configuration stick at the EXT jack during booting of EDS500 500FSD20 modems,
then that configuration is used (refer to Chapter 2.4, "Loading and saving a configuration").
This enables e.g. a fast exchange of a faulty device when the configuration stick is plugged into the
replacement device. After power-up the configuration of the exchanged hardware is identical to the
faulty device.
2.2

Handling of the Command Line Interface (CLI)

The command line interface (CLI) of the EDS500 500FSD20 modems can be accessed with a
terminal program using the serial connection. All functions and settings of the EDS500 500FSD20
modems can be configured by the command line interface (CLI).
2.2.1

Command input

A command is entered as an alphanumeric command and concluded with "Enter". After complete
and correct input the command is executed.
