Logging In With the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Logging In With the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Once you have command line management access to the BROAD way system (you are at the
NSP1>
or
NSP2>
prompt), you can log in.
To log in to the BROAD way system using the command line interface use the following TL1 command:
ACT-USER::NSP:1234::<username>,<password>;
<username>
—The name of the user account (default is CUSTOMER ).
<password>
—The account’s password (default is BROADWAY ).
NOTE:
User names and passwords are case sensitive.
For example:
ACT-USER::NSP:1234::CUSTOMER,BROADWAY;
Alternatively, the following form of the ACT-USER command can be used:
ACT-USER::NSP:1234;
This version presents the user with a LOGIN: and PASSWORD: prompt, much like a Telnet login
prompt. At the
PASSWORD:
prompt, the typed information is not echoed back to the screen for security
purposes.
When you first log in to the BROAD way system, you will default to the TL1 command line interface.
When you create and edit user accounts using TL1 commands you can specify the default command line
interface (see
User Account Management Using TL1 on page 3-16).
Some configuration steps might only be performed with TL1 and some might only be performed with
the packet services (PS) command line interface. Therefore, when performing configuration work using
a CLI you might need to switch back and forth between TL1 and PS command shells.
You can tell which CLI you are currently using by looking at the terminal prompt. TL1 uses the
NSP1>
or
NSP2>
prompt. Packet services uses the
PS#
or
PS>
prompt (depending on your user permission
level).
To switch to the
PS>
prompt from the
NSP>
prompt, type
ps
and press ENTER. To switch from the
PS>
prompt back to the TL1
NSP>
prompt, type
exit
repeatedly until the
NSP>
prompt is displayed.
To log out from the BROAD way system using TL1, use the
CANC-USER
command:
CANC-USER::NSP:1234;
If you are accessing the BROAD way system from a Telnet client and your Telnet session times out, you
will need to re-login using the
ACT-USER
command. Your Telnet session times out after approximately
10 minutes of no activity. If you log out using the
CANC-USER
command, you will need to use the
ACT-USER
command to log back in.
