RLC Installation and Administration Guide

RLC description

Standard 4.0

Command line interface

When the administration PC is connected to the RLC through the serial port, you
can view the command line interface using an application such as Telnet or
HyperTerminal. However, the command line interface is not documented in this
guide. Only use the command line interface with the assistance of technical
support personnel for troubleshooting and diagnostic testing. Configuration
Manager is the supported tool for customer administration of the RLC over both
the serial port and Ethernet connections. For further information, refer to “What
is Configuration Manager?” on page 126.
