System Management
System management commands configure the parameters of an MGX 8260 node that define overall
operation and interactions with other nodes and servers.
Logging On
Before you can configure the MGX 8260 Media Gateway, you must log on as a user with the privilege
to change system parameters. You need SuperUser privileges to change most system-level settings. To
log on, follow these steps:
Step 1 Open a telnet session with the MGX 8260 Media Gateway. You need to know the host name or IP
address for the desired MGX 8260 node.
Step 2 At the User Id prompt, enter your user name. On a new system, use SuperUser.
Step 3 At the Password prompt, enter your password. On a new system, use cisco.
The MGX 8260 Media Gateway displays a command line prompt.
