How to Access the CLI
This section describes how to access the CLI to configure the system.
Connecting via the CONSOLE Port
The CONSOLE is configured for the following parameters:
Baud Rate: 115200
Data Bit: 8
Stop Bit: 1
Parity: None
Flow Control: None
To connect to the CONSOLE port:
1.
Connect to the CONSOLE using a serial connection and a “dumb” terminal or a character terminal
emulator such as Hyper terminal or a PC command window.
2.
Press enter. The MG-IP responds with a login prompt.
3.
Enter your login name and press enter. The MG-IP responds with a password prompt.
4.
Enter your password and press enter. The MG-IP responds with a command prompt: (MG-IP-
1:\>).
The MG-IP is initially configured with a default administrator user with login
name admin and password admin. The administrator may have changed the
password to this account, and may also have created other accounts. For more
information on user accounts and account types, refer to Managing Users on page
68.
Connecting via Telnet and a Network Interface
The LAN and WAN ports are configured with an IP address of 169.254.1.100 (Master) or
169.254.1.101 (Slave). Both ports are configured with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The user can
connect via Telnet to the defined IP address using HyperTerminal or a command window on a PC or
any other Telnet client. Once the connection is made, the MG-IP will respond with the login prompt.
If the IP address needs to be changed to another value before making a network connection, first
connect via the CONSOLE and change the LAN or WAN IP address and subnet mask using the
following command:
SetIPConfig (sic) (see page A-105 in Appendix A)
