The CLI utility can be accessed in the following ways:
• Through a local terminal or a computer that has a terminal emulation program connected to
the console port of the console server with session settings of 9600, 8, N and 1, with no flow
control.
• After the console server is connected to the network and has an IP address, it can be
accessed by one of the following methods:
• An SSH or Telnet client on a remote computer (if the SSH or Telnet protocol is enabled
in the selected Security Profile)
• With the Web Manager - Overview - Appliance Session button
• With DSView management software

authorize regular users to access ports, manage power, manage data buffer storage and use one
or more console server administration tools. Users can always change their own passwords.
To start the CLI:
1. Access the CLI through the console port, with Telnet, SSH or through the web manager.
2. Enter the username and password at the prompt. The cli-> prompt appears.
