2 Getting Started
2.1 Connecting to the CLI
MSBG’s CLI can be accessed via RS232 interface, Telnet or SSH protocols via the
Ethernet interface.
2.1.1 RS-232
The MSBG can be accessed via RS-232 by connecting a VT100 terminal to the device or
using a terminal emulation program with a PC. Most Windows® computers come with a
program called HyperTerminal®, which is located under
Programs > Accessories >
Communications .
Once you have connected via a VT100 terminal and started the HyperTerminal program,
set the program settings as follows:

115200 baud rate

8 data bits

No parity

1 stop bit

No flow control
If you are using HyperTerminal, name your new connection and then set up the new
connection via the resulting dialog box. The box allows you to determine the type of
connection you are using. Verify COM1 and select
OK .
Another dialogue box appears for entering the COM1 properties. Enter the program settings
in this box; select
APPLY and then OK . You should then be presented with a terminal
window in which you can interface with your device.
2.1.2 SSH
The MSBG can be accessed by SSH protocol using SSH client software.
One of the most popular and freeware SSH client software is Putty, which can be
downloaded from the following URL:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
By default the SSH access is disabled. Enable SSH access via CLI ( configure system >
cli-terminal > set ssh on > activate ), or set the ‘ SSHServerEnable’ ini parameter to ‘1’.
2.1.3 Telnet
The MSBG can be accessed by Telnet protocol using Telnet client software. Most
Windows® computers come with a program called ‘Telnet’, which can be activated via the
Windows command-line.
