Each Avidia
®
system provides two different user interfaces for system configuration and
management. Both interfaces are preinstalled on the management card.
The command-line interface provides comprehensive system configuration and management
features using a text-only interface. You access the command-line interface using either an
ASCII terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program, connected to the management
card craft port. Once the management card IP address is configured, you can also access the
command-line interface remotely using a telnet application. The command-line interface
contains a hierarchy of different prompts, at which you type commands to perform a particular
configuration or management task.
The Web interface is a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides the most of the system
configuration and management features in the command-line interface, as well as additional
security features. You access the Web interface using a PC connected to the Fast Ethernet port
on the back of the Avidia chassis, or over a network. The Web interface provides two different
styles of navigation — the Site Map Navigation window and the Tree Navigation window. From
either navigation window, you select the configuration or management task you want to
perform.
