4.0 ConsoleServer
800
Administration
The following section outlines the administration functions and commands. The
administration functions and commands are designed to enable the administrator
to configure the ConsoleServer 800 to fit the needs of the system application.
User IDs, devices, terminals and access rights may be configured using the
administration commands. As new features are added to the product, the
administration user will also be used to install new flash memory software
updates (see section 4.10, Updating the ConsoleServer 800 Software, and
Appendix B).
The administrator may not access device ports; only users may access
device ports (see section 5.0, User Access and Interface).
Screen shots of interactive terminal sessions are shown in outlined boxes, while
in-text command words and system responses are in a different font to
differentiate them from normal text. All system commands require the
<ENTER>
key to respond, but are not case-sensitive unless otherwise specified.
Many commands may be abbreviated to one extent or another, but some may
not be abbreviated at all. For example, the command
VERSION
may be
abbreviated to
VER
, but
LCIUPDATE
may not be abbreviated. See Appendix E
for more information regarding abbreviations.
NOTE:
<ESC> <ESC>
or
<CTRL>+C
will cancel an operation and return to the
administrator prompt. Pressing
<CTRL>+R
at the
LCI800>
or
sys admin>
prompt will discard the characters on the current command line, and retype the
last command used;
<ENTER>
must still be pressed to execute the command.
Pressing
<CTRL>+U
at either prompt erases the current command line back to
the prompt.

Power-up Sequence and Basic Use of the Administrator Functions
When the ConsoleServer 800 is first installed and powered up, it must be
configured through the serial terminal port. Connect the terminal port to a
terminal device or computer using a terminal emulation program (refer to section
3.4 for instructions on connecting to the terminal port). After the network
interface has been configured (see section 4.4), the administration login may also
be reached via telnet. All the functions available from a local serial connection
(with the exception of
BACKUP
and
RESTORE
) are also available through telnet by
connecting to port 5000 of a ConsoleServer’s network IP address.
Administration access via modem is not supported at this time.
