Establishing a CLI Session

You can access the device's CLI using any of the following methods:

■ RS-232: The device can be accessed through its RS-232 serial port, by connecting a VT100 terminal to it or using a terminal emulation program (e.g., HyperTerminal) with a PC. For connecting to the CLI through RS-232, see CLI.
■ Secure SHell (SSH): The device can be accessed through its Ethernet interface by the SSH protocol using SSH client software. A popular and freeware SSH client software is Putty, which can be downloaded from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html.
■ Telnet: The device can be accessed through its Ethernet interface by the Telnet protocol using Telnet client software.

The following procedure describes how to access the CLI through Telnet/SSH.

The CLI login credentials are the same as all the device's other management interfaces (such as Web interface). The default username and password is "Admin" and "Admin" (case-sensitive), respectively. To configure login credentials and management user accounts, see Configuring Management User Accounts.

➢ To establish a CLI session through Telnet or SSH:
1. Connect the device to the network.
2. Establish a Telnet or SSH session using the device's OAMP IP address.
3. Log in to the session using the username and password assigned to the Admin user of the Web interface:
a. At the Username prompt, type the username, and then press Enter: 
Username: Admin
b. At the Password prompt, type the password, and then press Enter: 
Password: Admin
c. At the prompt, type the following, and then press Enter: 
> enable
d. At the prompt, type the password again, and then press Enter: 
Password: Admin
