Accessing the CLI from your PC
All products using the AOS are initially accessed by connecting a VT100 terminal (or terminal emulator)
to the
CONSOLE port located on the rear panel of the unit using a standard DB-9 (male) to DB-9 (female)
serial cable. Configure the VT100 terminal or terminal emulation software to the following settings:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control
For more details on connecting to your unit, refer to the Quick Configuration Guides and
Quick Start Guides located on the ADTRAN OS Documentation CD provided with your
unit.
