3.5 MX100 Maintenance and Test Using
Communication Commands
The MX100 maintenance/test function is used by a network administrator to check the
communication status of the MX100.
Maintenance and test of the MX100 using communication commands can be carried out
by connecting the main module and a PC using an Ethernet cable, and using a terminal
emulator such as Telnet on the PC. The communication method is a command and
response type (a command is sent from the PC to the MX100 and a response is returned
from the MX100 to the PC). Only a single PC can connect to a single MX100.
Connecting the Main Module and the PC
See “Connection Procedure” in section 2.6.
