Configuration and Management
This section describes the command line interface (CLI) and Exalt graphical user
interface (GUI).
Command Line Interface (CLI)
Exalt Digital Microwave Radios provide a CLI to set key parameters on the system. Use
the Console port for serial devices, or use the Ethernet MAIN or AUX ports for a Telnet
session over a network connection.
Connect to the Radio with a Serial Connection
For serial interface to the CONSOLE port, on your PC, PDA, dumb terminal, or any
other device with a serial interface and text input capabilities, use Hyperterminal or a
similar application with the following settings:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Use a standard straight-through serial cable to connect between most computer serial
ports and the Console port on the radio. A null modem cable is not properly wired for this
interface. See Interface Connections on page 123 for wiring details.
After establishing the serial connection, press ENTER to display the login prompt.
Connect to the Radio through a Telnet Connection
Use the following steps for a Telnet connection to the radio through the ETHERNET
AUX port using Windows:
1. Open a command prompt, or MS-DOS prompt shell (Start>Run>cmd).
2. Type C:\>Telnet <IP Address> at the command line of the command prompt
window.
The default IP address is 10.0.0.1
Note: You can reset the default address to a different address through
serial CLI using the Console port, or back to the default address by radio
reset.
Note: Your computer must be on the same IP subnet as the radio to
use the Telnet function.
