IRIS CLI interface using Telnet
IRIS also provides a CLI interface for certain advanced configuration and diagnostics. You will
need a PC to connect using telnet. You should be able to connect to IRIS from the HFC side if
you have successfully been able to bring up a cable modem. The easiest way to connect to IRIS is
from the Ethernet interface of IRIS.
Connecting from the cable interface
If you have connected a cable modem to the cable network you can connect to IRIS using a PC
connected to the cable modem. Make sure the cable modem’s “cable” LED is steady which
indicates that the cable modem is configured correctly and is up and running. If the “cable” LED
is either off or still blinking the cable modem is not up yet, use the “Connecting from Ethernet
interface” or “Connecting using serial console” methods.
Set your PC’s Ethernet interface to be configured using dynamic host control protocol or DHCP.
As soon as your PC is connected to the Ethernet port of the cable modem it will be assigned an IP
address with the “10.71.0.X” domain.
Telnet to IRIS
You can now telnet from Windows Start Menu/Run option by typing
“telnet 10.71.0.1”
and selecting OK button. You will be greeted with the following
messages and a “login” prompt in the telnet window.
