3. Terminal Setup

To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a 

COM port

 on a 

PC or notebook computer and to the RJ45 type of the console port 
of the VDSL2 IP DSLAM.

Configuring IP address and Default Gateway

4. At  the 

“Switch (config)#”

 prompt, enter the following command 

and press <Enter> as shown in Figure 5-2.

Switch (config)

# ip address 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0

Switch (config)

# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254

The previous command would apply the following settings for the 
VDSL2 IP DSLAM.

IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254

Figure 5-2:

  IP Address Screen

5. Repeat Step 1-3 to check if the IP address has changed.

If  the  IP  is  successfully  configured,  the  VDSL2  IP  DSLAM  will  apply 

the new IP address setting immediately. You can access the Web 
interface of the VDSL2 IP DSLAM through the new IP address.

Note

If you are not familiar with console command or the 
related parameter, enter “?” anytime in console to get 
the help description.

4. Logon to the Console

Once the terminal is connected to the device, power on the VDSL2 
IP DSLAM and the terminal will display “running testing procedures”. 
Then, the following message asks to log-in user name and 
password. The factory default user name and password are shown 
as follows, and the login screen in Figure 4-1 appears.

Username: 

admin

Password: 

admin

Figure 4-1:

  VDSL2 IP DSLAM Console Login Screen

The user can now enter commands to manage the VDSL2 IP 
DSLAM. For a detailed description of the commands, please refer to 
the following chapters.

Note

1. For security reason, please change and memorize 

the new password after this first setup.

2. Only accept command in lowercase letter under 

console interface.

2. Requirements

 Workstations running Windows XP/2003/Vista/7/8/2008, MAC OS 

X or later, Linux, UNIX, or other platforms are compatible with 
TCP/IP protocols.

 Workstations are installed with Ethernet NIC (Network Interface 

Card)

  Serial Port Connection (Terminal)

 The above Workstations come with COM Port (DB9) or USB-to-

RS232 converter.

 The above Workstations have been installed with terminal 

emulator, such as Hyper Terminal included in Windows 
XP/2003.

 Serial cable -- one end is attached to the RS232 serial port, 

while the other end to the console port of the VDSL2 IP 
DSLAM.

 Ethernet Port Connection

 Network  cables  --  Use  standard  network  (UTP)  cables  with 

RJ45 connectors.

 The above PC is installed with Web browser and JAVA runtime 

environment plug-in.

Note

It is recommended to use Internet Explore 8.0 or 
above to access the VDSL2 IP DSLAM. If the Web 
interface of the VDSL2 IP DSLAM is not accessible, 
please turn off the anti-virus software or firewall and 
then try it again.

5. Configuring IP Address via the Console

The VDSL2 IP DSLAM is shipped with default IP address as follows: 

IP Address: 

192.168.0.100

Subnet Mask: 

255.255.255.0

To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the 
VDSL2 IP DSLAM, please use the procedures as follows:

„

  Show the current IP address

1. At  the 

“Switch#”

 prompt, enter 

“configure

”.

2. At  the 

“Switch(config)#”

 prompt, enter

 “show ip”

.

3. The screen displays the current IP address, subnet mask and 

gateway as shown in Figure 5-1.

Figure 5-1:

  IP Information Screen

6. Starting Web Management

The following shows how to start up the 

Web Management

 of the 

VDSL2  IP  DSLAM.  Note  the  VDSL2  IP  DSLAM  is  configured  through 

an Ethernet connection. Please make sure the manager PC must be 
set to the same 

IP subnet address

.

For example, the default IP address of the VDSL2 IP DSLAM 
is 

192.168.0.100

, then the manager PC should be set to 

192.168.0.x 

(where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 

100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

1. Run terminal program on the OS.
2. When the following screen appears, make sure that the COM port 

should be configured as:

„

 Baud: 115200

„

 Data bits: 8

„

 Parity: None

„

 Stop bits: 1

„

 Flow control: None
