CLI Overview
Command Line Interface
Paradyne’s 12000/4000 Series Broadband Access Concentrators, micro DSLAMs,
and Network Extenders can be managed with a Command Line Interface (CLI)
through either a direct PC to DSLAM COM (Communication) Port connection or
from a remote network connection via Telnet.
System Requirements
Straight-Through RJ45 to RJ45 Ethernet Cable
Required for establishing a direct connection from the COM port to your PC for
initial configuration via CLI.
DB9 Female to RJ45 Male Adapter
Required for conversion of your PC's RS232 serial port for use with an RJ45 to
RJ45 Ethernet cable. Included with select devices.
Terminal Emulator
Required for running CLI. Any standard terminal emulator currently on the
market will serve the purpose; there are no specific program requirements.
Telnet Tool
Required for remote management with CLI. Microsoft Windows Operating
Systems (1998, 2000, NT and XP) include a Telnet tool which is run through
the Windows command prompt (cmd.exe). If you are using an operating
system other than Windows, you may need to install a Telnet tool. Any
standard Telnet tool currently on the market will serve the purpose; there are
no specific program requirements.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Tool
Required for downloading firmware updates and for saving DSLAM
configurations to local files for backup and/or template use. Any standard
TFTP tool will serve the purpose; there are no specific program requirements.
Multi-User Support
Up to 10 CLI connections can run concurrently: 1 direct connection via the COM
Port and up to 9 remote connections via Telnet. There are two classes of CLI
users: Superuser (read/write), and General User (read only). Both classes may be
logged in simultaneously.
