2 CONSOLE INTERFACE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The console interface provides a simple way to configure the SNMP/Web adapters through a
command-line interface. Actually, the console interface provides a full set of commands, extending far
beyond the adapter initial configuration and allowing access to all advanced functionalities.
Nevertheless, access using the console interface (by means of a local serial connection) is normally
needed only for initial configuration, when no DHCP server is available or the IP-address is not known.
The console interface can be accessed locally (serial connection) or remotely (Telnet, SSH).
2.1.1 Local connection
Local access requires a local computer connected to the adapter serial port using a straight serial
cable:
• Connect the SNMP adapter to a computer using a standard 1:1 serial communication cable.
• Run a terminal simulator (e.g. HyperTerminal on a PC running Windows)
• Configure the terminal simulator as follows:
115,200bps, 8 data bits,
1 stop bit,
parity none,
flow control none
terminal emulation VT-100
• Establish the connection and press <enter>
• The default username (login) and password are ge and ge
• A command-line configuration interface is entered
