Managing the Titan SiliconServer
System Administration Manual

Using the Command Line Interface
The Titan SiliconServer and the System Management Unit (SMU) each have a command line
interface (CLI) used for configuration and management. Both support secure connections,
configurable passwords, and other security mechanisms.
SMU Command Line Interface
The SMU ships without a pre-configured network setup. The SMU must be accessed through a
direct serial connection in order to perform the initial setup. Once configured, the SMU’s CLI
can be accessed directly through SSH or through a Java-enabled SSH session running through
Web Manager.
To connect using a serial console
1.
Attach an RS232 null-modem cable (DB-9 Female to DB-9 Female) to the serial port on
the back
of the SMU. Attach the other end of the serial cable to a computer (e.g. laptop).
2.
Set up the terminal emulation
program (such as Window’s HyperTerminal) to the
following settings:
115,200 b/s, 8 bits/byte, 1 stop bit, No parity
3.
Log into the SMU.
•
If the SMU is being accessed to perform initial setup, log in as the user
setup
and
perform the installation steps as directed.
•
Otherwise, login as the user
manager
. When prompted, enter the password for
the user
manager
.
4.
Once connected, select which Titan’s CLI to access or enter "q" to access the SMU’s shell.
At the SMU’s command line interface, the Titan’s CLI may be accessed through Telnet or
PSSC.
To connect with SSHTerm
For Windows and other users who do not have SSH available, the SMU can be accessed by
using SSHTerm. SSHTerm is a Java SSH client (applet). It is developed by 3SP and is distributed
under the General Public License (GPL). SSHTerm is provided as a convenient, cross-platform
alternative to other SSH clients. Refer to 3SP’s web site:
http://www.3sp.com/
for more
information.
SSHTerm requires a recent version of Java (1.4.x or greater). Go to
http://www.java.com
to
verify that the browser has the latest version of Java Plug-in installed.
