Console port
You can connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the maintenance console port
to configure, administer, and monitor your SHARK™ IAD. This port is the 9
pin D connector mounted on the Router module's faceplate. To use the
SHARK™ IAD console, you need a serial cable and either a terminal or terminal
emulator (such as a personal computer with a terminal emulation application that
supports 9600-baud communication).
To connect your SHARK™ IAD to a terminal or terminal emulator:
1. Plug the DB-9 end of a serial cable into the maintenance console port on the
Router Module’s DB-9 connector labeled “RS232”.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the serial port on your terminal
(or terminal emulator) or the modem port of your computer.
3. Turn on the terminal or run the terminal emulator program on your
computer.
4. Use the following settings to configure your terminal emulation session:
Terminal Emulator Set To:
Parity: None
Speed: 9600 bps Databits: 8
Stopbits: 1 Duplex: Full
Flow Control: OFF
5. Enter the return key.
6. You should get the CLI login prompt: login:
7. Proceed to log into and configure your SHARK™ IAD using the CLI
chapter of this manual. For a complete configuration of all modules from
start to finish you may use the "stepping mode" to configure your SHARK™
IAD.

STEPPING
MODE
The SHARK™ IAD is equipped with a "stepping mode configurator". This
mode steps you through each configuration command in a logical sequence.
Once you have entered the stepping mode you enter the parameters you want
when prompted by the system. Each line of the stepping mode presents the
allowable parameter options. Then waits for your input. You enter the desired
option using the displayed syntax and press the enter key. The stepper will load
your entry and display the next parameter to be entered. When using the stepper
be sure to keep the "CLI" chapter of this manual as a reference as it explains the
stepping mode and each command in greater detail.
To enter the stepping mode:
1. After you have successfully logged in using either the console port or a telnet
session, enter: Config at the system prompt as shown in Figure 4.
2. Enter set.
The configurator will enter the stepping mode and will wait for your input.
Proceed to configure your SHARK™ IAD.
