Command Line Interface
IMPORTANT:
Prior to initial configuration of the hardware, it is imperative to review the
entire Initial Configuration section before proceeding to the Installation section.
This section explains the considerations and requirements for the initial configuration of the SS-
1200-S, SS-2200-S and SS-4200-S series by a Command Line Interface (CLI) with a management
PC using a terminal emulation application connected either through the SERIAL DB9 port or
though the MANAGEMENT RJ45 port. Only one configuration session can be open at a time.
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is used to:
set IP address (default 192.168.1.1),
set Subnet Mask (default 255.255.0.0)
set Default Gateway (default 192.168.1.0)
set port speed and duplex
Configure port routing
NOTE:
The factory default for all Any-to-Any ports on all aggregation taps (SS-1200-S, SS-
2200-S and SS-4200-S series) are turned off by default - i.e. they are not set up as either inputs or
outputs and are not replicated to any other ports with the exception of the hard-wired inline
taps.
