Using the CLI
Using a Local Serial Connection
You need these items to connect to the serial port:
• A computer that has a DB-9 serial port and is running a terminal emulation program
• A DB-9 male-to-female null-modem serial cable
Follow these steps to log into the CLI through the serial port.
Step 1 Connect your computer to the controller using the DB-9 null-modem serial cable.
Step 2 Open a terminal emulator session using these settings:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• No hardware flow control
Step 3 At the prompt, log into the CLI. The default username is admin, and the default password is admin.
Note The controller serial port is set for a 9600 baud rate and a short timeout. If you would like to
change either of these values, enter config serial baudrate baudrate and config serial timeout
timeout to make your changes. If you enter config serial timeout 0, serial sessions never time
out.
Using a Remote Ethernet Connection
You need these items to connect to a controller remotely:
• A computer with access to the controller over the Ethernet network
• The IP address of the controller
• A terminal emulation program or a DOS shell for the Telnet session
Note By default, controllers block Telnet sessions. You must use a local connection to the serial port to enable
Telnet sessions.
Follow these steps to log into the CLI through a remote Ethernet connection.
Step 1 Verify that your terminal emulator or DOS shell interface is configured with these parameters:
• Ethernet address
• Port 23
Step 2 Use the controller IP address to Telnet to the CLI.
Step 3 At the prompt, log into the CLI. The default username is admin, and the default password is admin.
