Connect the CLI Interface
All configuration options, status, and statistics can be accessed using the device's
Command Line Interface (CLI). To use the CLI, connect a DB9 cable from the
RS232 port on the back of the iTap to your computer.
Your computer needs to have terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal to
access the iTap CLI over the RS232 cable.
To connect the CLI:
1. Connect a PC with terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal, to the
iTap using the RS232 DB9 cable supplied with the iTap.
