• The lower LED when facing the RJ-45 jack provides power information.
- Off: System has no power.
- Green: Power on and bootloader activated.
- Amber: Power on and Fastback Operating System loaded.
• The upper LED when facing the RJ-45 provides the following information:
- Off: Radio not initialized.
- Green: Radio initialized.
- Amber: Radio initialized and a link established.
2.6 Technical Assistance
In the event there is a problem with IBR or other equipment provided by Fastback Networks (e.g., it arrives
damaged or incomplete, or appears to not work properly), the operator should contact Fastback Networks’
Technical Support center via telephone or email and be prepared to provide:
• Product type and serial number
• Product service history (e.g., when was it received, how long has it been in service, other relevant
information)
• Description of the problem
• Customer contact information

3. Communicating with IBR
IBR has no external or internal keypads, switches, dials, knobs, or other physical controls. Therefore, an
operator will require a smart terminal, computer, workstation, or other such device to communicate with IBR
using command line interface (CLI) and/or accessing IBR via any of the Ethernet ports using Telnet, SSH,
HTTP, or HTTPS.
3.1 Graphical User Interface (“GUI” or “Web UI”)
IBR’s internal HTTP/HTTPS browser-based GUI provides an easy alternate way to monitor and control IBR. A
detailed discussion of the GUI can be found in the CLI Guide.
3.2 Command Line Interface (“CLI”)
When an operator logs onto IBR, CLI will be launched in User Mode (i.e., startup mode), which provides
minimal functionality.
• CLI is supported via Telnet or SSH connections through the Ethernet interface.
• CLI uses a mix of IOS syntax.
• Access to the full functionality mode (i.e., “Privileged Mode”) can be controlled by password.
The commands shown below are the only commands available in User mode.
