CONSOLE INTERFACE

2.1

INTRODUCTION

The console interface provides a simple way to configure the SNMP/Web adapters through a command-
line interface. Actually, the console interface provides a full set of commands, extending far beyond the
adapter initial configuration and allowing access to all advanced functionalities. Nevertheless, access
using the console interface (by means of a local serial connection) is normally needed only for initial
configuration, when no DHCP server is available or the IP-address is not known.
The console interface can be accessed locally (serial connection) or remotely (Telnet, SSH).

2.1.1 Local connection

Local access requires a local computer connected to the adapter serial port using a straight serial
cable:
•
Connect the SNMP adapter to a computer using a standard 1:1 serial communication cable.
•
Run a terminal simulator (e.g. HyperTerminal on a PC running Windows)
•
Configure the terminal simulator as follows:
115,200bps,
terminal emulation VT-100
•
Establish the connection and press <enter>
•
The default username (login) and password are ge and ge
•
A command-line configuration interface is entered
