3.3 CLI Mode Management
There are two ways for CLI mode management, one is remote telnet and the other operated from console port. Remote telnet is
an IP-based protocol and console port is for user to operate the Managed Metro Switch locally only; however, their operations
are the same.
The command line user interface is for performing system administration, such as displaying statistics or changing option
settings. When this method is used, you can access the Managed Metro Switch remote telnet interface from personal
computer, or workstation in the same Ethernet environment as long as you know the current IP address of the Managed Metro
Switch.
Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a
terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal, ProcommPlus, putty, tera term) to the Managed Metro Switch console
(serial) port. When using this management method, a straight DB9 RS-232 cable is required to connect the switch to the PC.
After making this connection, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters:
The default parameters are:
115200 bps baud rate
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
