Command Line Interface - Paradyne ENE2044 Installation Instructions Manual

For security purposes you may want to turn off inband management of the unit to
prevent a local PC from managing the unit from the Ethernet ports.

Command Line Interface

The network extender can be managed with a Command Line Interface (CLI) through
either a direct PC to COM (Communication) Port connection or from a remote network
connection via Telnet.
CLI System Requirements
Straight-Through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet Cable – Required for establishing a
direct connection from the COM port to a DB9 adapter.
DB9 Female to RJ45 Male Adapter – Required for conversion of your PC's RS232
serial port for use with the RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet cable.
Terminal Emulation Program – Required for running the CLI over a direct
connection. The program must emulate a VT100 terminal.
Telnet Client – Required for remote management with the CLI. Microsoft Windows
Operating Systems (98, 2000, NT and XP) include a Telnet client which is run using
the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe). If you are using an operating system
other than Windows, you may need to install a Telnet client.
Connecting a PC Directly
Initial configuration using the CLI requires a direct physical connection from your PC to
the COM port of the 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.
