Configuration and Management
This section describes the command line interface (CLI) and Exalt graphical user interface (GUI).
Command Line Interface (CLI)
Exalt Digital Microwave Radios provide a CLI to set key parameters on the system. Use the Console
port for serial devices, or use the Ethernet MAIN or AUX ports for a Telnet session over a network
connection.
Connect to the Radio with a Serial Connection
For serial interface to the CONSOLE port, on your PC, PDA, dumb terminal, or any other device with
a serial interface and text input capabilities, use Hyperterminal or a similar application with the
following settings:
Use a standard straight-through serial cable to connect between most computer serial ports and the
Console port on the radio. A null modem cable is not properly wired for this interface. See Interface
Connections for wiring details.
After establishing the serial connection, press ENTER to display the login prompt.
Telnet into the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Use a Telnet connection to access the CLI in the Exalt Digital Microwave Radios. Use the CLI to set
key parameters on the system.
Connect to the Radio in a Telnet Session
Make the Telnet connection to the radio through the Ethernet port. Use Windows and perform the
following steps:
1 Open a command prompt or MS-DOS prompt (Start>Run).
2 Type C:\>Telnet <IP Address> at the command line:
The default IP address is 10.0.0.1
Use Telnet when prompted to enter the administration level login and password. The default
administration login is admin and password is password. It is recommended that the default
administration password be reset by performing a radio reset (see Reset to Critical Factory Settings
).
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Note: The accessing computer must be on the same IP subnet as the radio. If the radio
supports DHCP and DHCP is enabled (see Ethernet Interface Configuration Page
), which is
the default setting for a radio shipped from Exalt (for the models with this feature), and your
computer’s Ethernet port is set for DHCP addressing, the radio will configure your computer
to an IP address value which is either 2 or 10 higher than the radio’s current IP address (for
example, if the radio is set to 10.0.0.1, the computer will be set to 10.0.0.3 or 10.0.0.11,
depending on the radio model and the software version running on the radio).
