Chapter 3 Provisioning

This chapter provides the provisioning steps for the ET100R Router using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

in detail. They are all Cisco like commands. Typical application examples are provided for setting the major features of

the ET100R. The complete CLI Reference is outlined in a separate chapter.

3.1 Console Configuration

A notebook computer has become an invaluable tool of the Systems Engineer. The ET100R acts as a DCE to

the PC's DTE communications port. The ET100R is provided with a mini-DIN 9 to DB9 cable for easy connection to a

PC's RS-232 COM: port with the console port of ET100R. A convenient application, provided with the Microsoft

Windows® 9X, NT®, or XP operating systems, is "HyperTerminal™". Set the properties to match the ET100R's

console port factory defaults as follows: Baud=115.2K, Data bits=8, Parity=None, Stop bits=1, and handshaking=none.

If you are using "HyperTerminal " the display should look like the following.

Figure 3-1: HyperTerminal Properties

Make the appropriate connections, start the terminal application, and apply power to the ET100R. There are

two operational modes for the ET100R, basic mode and privileged mode. The user may login to basic mode by entering

the default "admin" username at the login prompt. There will be a ">" prompt on every command line. Privileged mode

is required to make any configuration changes to the ET100R router. The user will login to privileged mode from basic

mode by entering the "enable" command, followed by the privileged mode password. In privileged mode, there will be

a "#" prompt on every command line. Enter the "disable" command to go back to basic mode. Entering the "quit"

command, will logout of both the basic and the privileged modes.
