Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is used for advanced router configuration. It 
can be accessed through a connection between your workstation and the console 
port of your router. Use a straight through (red label) cable and a DB9 adapter to 
connect your router to your PC serial port. Boot both systems and open a 
connection using your VT 100 terminal emulation program. Use the following 
port settings:
• Baud Rate: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control:Hardware
Note: The console port is disabled if Dial Backup is enabled.
For specific configuration information and instructions, please refer to the 
Command Line Interface Reference Manual included on your CD-ROM.
