Command Overview
Cisco commands used to configure and manage the 833IS are based upon the
command structure of Cisco IOS
TM version 12. Equivalent Cisco commands may
have additional parameters that are not present in the 833IS version. If the additional
parameters are included with the command and are executed from a file no error
messages will be displayed. Depending upon the parameter entered, one of the
following scenarios occurred:
!
an intelligent default has been used for the additional parameter
!
the command is not supported and was not executed
!
the command was executed, however, the additional parameter was ignored
However, if commands are entered interactively through a Telnet session, an error
message will be displayed indicating the action taken and/or corrections necessary to
execute the command. Some Cisco commands may require additional Perle
parameters. These Perle parameters can easily be identified as they start with a “_”
(underscore) character.
The Cisco command set does not accommodate all the configuration and
management features for the 833IS. Therefore, Perle commands have been
developed to modify these features on the 833IS unit which are not present in a
Cisco environment. The Perle commands use a similar syntax as Cisco commands
but are uniquely identified by the “_” (underscore) character preceding the
command. A complete set of supported Cisco and Perle commands can be found on
Perle Systems Ltd. website

Installation and Configuration of 833IS with Cisco Configuration Mode
The 833IS unit can be configured using the 833IS Manager. It is recommended that
this Windows application be used to initially setup the 833IS for standard
configurations required by most installations.
Initially, the 833IS is in Factory Default mode, or simply Factory mode, and is
running a factory default configuration which has all WAN interfaces disabled. The
operating firmware and configuration for the 833IS must be downloaded to the
Server from the 833IS Manager or through a Telnet session.
However, before the operating firmware and configuration can be downloaded the
LAN parameters must be configured. In Factory Default mode, the Front Panel lets
you:
