4.4. Command Line Interface (CLI) Setup
The EM316LNXNM may be controlled through SNMP tools or through a command line interface (CLI).
This manual deals primarily with the CLI, which may be accessed through either a serial or network
connection.
4.4.1. Local Serial Console Setup
The EM316LNXNM RS-232 interface is used for secure "out-of-band" communications to the CLI. Use
this serial interface for configuring the module to eliminate error sources from the network. Another
advantage of the serial interface is "out-of-band" management that is enitrely secure and does not compete
with network traffic.
Connect one end of a serial cable (included parts listed below) to a terminal (or a PC terminal emulator)
and the other end to the EM316LNXNM serial port.

Configure the terminal serial parameters with the following values:
• 38400 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
• no flow control
4.4.2. Remote IP Setup
Besides local serial access, the EM316LNXNM also provides an Ethernet interface for remote
administration. SFP transceivers may be installed in the EM316LNXNM-OT for additional network
interfaces.
The factory default IP configuration for the RJ-45 Ethernet port is shown below:
IP Address - 192.168.14.201
Netmask - 255.255.255.0
The IP address and netmask above may be written as 192.168.14.201/24 (24-bit netmask).
Without a gateway, the EM316LNXNM cannot respond to either CLI (Telnet/SSH) or SNMP requests
beyond the subnet. For wider management access, consult your network administrator for an IP gateway
within your subnet.
The EM316LNXNM supports SSH and Telnet. Use SSH (secure shell) from the network to the
EM316LNXNM IP address to open a secure command line interface (CLI). Telnet services are disabled
by default on the EM316LNXNM, but they may be enabled for additional CLI access.
