Getting Started with the Command Line Interface (CLI) 13
Software Release 2.6.1
C613-02030-00 REV B
If a modem is connected, configure the switch to make and/or accept calls via
the modem. To set the CDCONTROL parameter to “CONNECT” and the
FLOW parameter to “HARDWARE”, enter the command:
SET ASYN CDCONTROL=CONNECT FLOW=HARDWARE
If the terminal or modem is used with communications settings other than the
default settings, then configure the asynchronous port to match the terminal or
modem settings using the SET ASYN command.
See the switch’s online help or the Interfaces chapter in the AT-8700XL Series
Software Reference for more information on how to configure the asynchronous
port.
Logging In
When you access the switch from a terminal or PC connected to the RS-232
terminal port (asyn0), or via a Telnet or HTTP connection, you must enter a
login name and password to gain access to the command prompt. When the
switch is supplied, it has a
manager account with an initial password friend .
Enter your login name at the login prompt:
login: manager
Enter the password at the password prompt:
password: friend
After you log into the manager account you can enter commands from this
document and from the
AT-8700XL Series Software Reference .
Assigning an IP Address
To configure the switch to perform IP routing (for example, to access the
Internet) you need to configure IP. You also need to configure IP if you want to
manage the switch from a Telnet session or with the GUI. For detailed
instructions on accessing the switch with the GUI, see “Accessing the Switch
via the GUI” on page 22.
First enable IP, using the command:
ENABLE IP
Then, add an IP address to each of the switch interfaces that you want to
process IP traffic.
For the default VLAN, use the command:
ADD IP INTERFACE=vlan1 IPADDRESS= ipadd MASK= mask
where:
■
ipadd is an unused IP address on your LAN.
■
mask is the subnet mask (for example 255.255.255.0)
