Chapter 5: Getting Started: Command Line Interface
User Login IDs
There are two types of user logins:
user
and
admin.
The admin level enables you to view and change informa-
tion. The user level enables you to view the information but not configure via CLI.
Access CLI
You can access the CLI through a Telnet session, a terminal-like access to any
Tenor DX
unit. If your PC is
directly connected to the
Tenor DX
unit, you can configure the unit directly through the serial port using
HyperTerminal. Both methods are described below.
NOTE:
Alternatively, you may want to use other telnet clients, such as the Linux telnet client or free pro-
grams like Putty. If you choose to do so, you may have to make minor setting changes in the Telnet
client in order to make it function correctly.
Telnet Connection
Once the
Tenor DX
has been initially configured with an IP address network and is connected, the easiest way
to connect to the
Tenor DX
and use the CLI is through a standard Telnet session from any PC on your IP net-
work. Connect to a
Tenor DX
unit via Telnet as follows:
For Windows 95/Windows 98:
1. Click on
Start> Run

3. Click on
Connect> Remote System
.
4. In the
Host Name field
type, enter the IP address assigned to your
Tenor DX
.
5. Click on
Connect.
A connection to the
Tenor DX
unit will be established.
For Windows 2000 and above:
1. Click on
Start> Run
.
2. The
Open
dialog box will be displayed. Type
telnet
and click on
Ok
. (Or type
telnet
followed by the IP
address and you will connect.)
3. At the telnet prompt, type
open
(followed by the IP address for the unit to which you want to connect.)
A connection to the
Tenor DX
unit will be established.
