Chapter 4: Getting Started with Command Line Interface
Access CLI
You can access the CLI through a telnet session, a terminal-like access to any Tenor CMS unit. If your PC is
directly connected to the Tenor CMS unit, you can configure the unit directly using the serial port via Hyper-
Terminal. Both methods are described below.
Telnet Connection
Once the Tenor CMS has been initially configured with an IP address network and is connected, the easiest
way to connect to the Tenor CMS and use the CLI is through a standard Telnet session from any PC on your IP
network. Connect to a Tenor CMS unit via Telnet as follows:
For Windows 95/Windows 98:
1. Click on Start> Run. The Run dialog box will be displayed.
2. Type telnet and click on Ok.
3. Click on Connect> Remote System.
4. In the Host Name field type, enter the IP address assigned to your Tenor CMS.
5. Click on Connect.
A connection to the Tenor CMS unit will be established.
For Windows 2000:
1. Click on Start> Run. The telnet dialog box will be displayed. Type telnet and click on Ok. (Or type telnet
followed by the IP address and you will connect.)
2. At the telnet prompt, type open (followed by the IP address for the unit to which you want to connect.)
A connection to the Tenor CMS unit will be established.
Serial Port Connection
When the Tenor CMS is first shipped to you, you must connect to the unit using this method to assign an IP
address. Once this is assigned, you can connect to the CLI using this port if you are directly connected to the
unit. To connect to the Tenor CMS Serial port, locate a workstation (PC) relatively close to the Tenor CMS
unit. Connect as follows:
1. Insert one end of the DB-9 serial null modem cable into the CMS’s System Controller Card labeled Con-
sole (or one end of the DB-9 serial RS-232 cable into the CPU’s rear port labeled Console.
2. Insert the other end of the DB-9 (either null modem or serial RS-232) cable into your workstations’ Com/
serial port.
Once the cable is connected and the Tenor CMS is powered on, open a HyperTerminal session (or other termi-
nal emulation program) as follows:
3. Click Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal. The HyperTerminal window
will be displayed.
