Entering Chassis Management Commands
If your terminal is connected to a UNIX host , you can connect to the processor module
through TELNET with the host-specific TELNET command. If your terminal is connected
to a VAX/VMS host, you can connect to the processor module through RCP with a host-
specific CONNECT command. Consult the host documentation for information about these
commands.

Enter your login password and press the Return key. The default
password on most processor modules is access, but the password
you use may be different. When you enter the correct password,
the

prompt appears.
Enter username>
Enter a username and press the Return key. You can enter any
username between 1 and 16 characters, or enter <CTRL><Z> to
automatically assign the username PORT_x at this port, where x
is the port number. When you enter the username correctly, the
Xyplex>
prompt appears.
Xyplex>
This is the default local command prompt, and it means that you
are logged in to a port. When you see this prompt, you can enter
Xyplex commands.
Using the CHASSIS CONSOLE SLOT Command
The CHASSIS CONSOLE SLOT command establishes a connection to the console port of a
Network 9000 Type 2 processor module in the chassis through the local management bus
(LMB) of the chassis. You must already be logged on to a Type 2 processor module in the
chassis to use this command.
The following is the syntax for this command:
CHASSIS CONSOLE SLOT slot-num
The slot-num variable specifies the chassis slot holding the Type 2 processor module where
you want to log on. For example, to connect to the module in slot 6 of the chassis from
another Type 2 module in the chassis, you can enter the following command:
Xyplex>> chassis console slot 6
One of the Xyplex login prompts in Table 2-1 will appear on the screen. Enter a username
or password, depending on the type of prompt which appears.
