The following sections describe these steps in detail.

4.1 Log In via RS-232 (EIA/TIA-232) Port Using HyperTerminal

You must log in through the RS-232 (EIA/TIA-232) port and set the ONS 15216 EDFA2 IP address

before access can be available via the LAN port. (See the “4.3 Log In via LAN Port Using Telnet

(Optional)” section on page 4-3.)

Step 1 Connect to the RS-232 (EIA/TIA-232) port on the front panel. See the “3.4.3.2 Serial Connection

Procedure” section on page 3-8 for line connection and HyperTerminal setup instructions.

Step 2 Open HyperTerminal. (HyperTerminal can be found in the Microsoft Windows Accessories menu.)

Step 3 If you see the login window shown in Example 4-1 on page 4-2, skip to Step 4.
