Communications

Using the terminal program from the PC, enter the ATD T command with the appropriate telephone

number to call the remote ONS 15216 EDFA2 modem. After the modems synchronize, log into the ONS

15216 EDFA2 using the correct user name and password. Refer to Chapter 5 for additional information

on commands.

Telnet Session

You can connect to the ONS 15216 EDFA2 using Telnet.

Note Before communicating and managing the ONS 15216 EDFA2 via the Ethernet port, the user must first

enter an IP address. To set an IP address, see Chapter 4, “Provisioning.”

The following two types of commands can be issued through a Telnet session:

• SNMP MIB Commands (see Chapter 5, “SNMP MIB Installation and Configuration”)

• CLI Commands (see Chapter 6, “CLI Commands”)

Connecting Through Telnet Procedure

After connecting the ONS 15216 EDFA2 to the network through its RJ-45 port, configure the module to

accept SNMP and CLI commands using the following procedure:

Step 1 The ONS 15216 EDFA2 IP address is factory set at 0.0.0.0. The IP address must be set before the ONS

15216 EDFA2 can be accessed via the Ethernet port.

Step 2 Connect ONS 15216 EDFA2 to the network via the module RJ-45 port.

Step 3 At a terminal or workstation, open the Telnet application.

Note To send CLI commands over IP, a Telnet client is required. For SNMP management over IP, a generic

SNMP manager is required.

Step 4 Connect to the ONS 15216 EDFA2 using the module IP address.

The ONS 15216 EDFA2 login window appears as shown in Example 3-1 on page 3-10. To access the

module and issue commands, enter both a user name and password. The default user and password for

user levels are described in Table 3-5.
