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.
Telnet into the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Use a Telnet connection to access the CLI in the Exalt Digital Microwave Radios. Use the CLI to set
key parameters on the system.
Connect to the Radio in a Telnet Session
Make the Telnet connection to the radio through the Ethernet port. Use Windows and perform the
following steps:
1 Open a command prompt or MS-DOS prompt (Start>Run).
2 Type C:\>Telnet <IP Address> at the command line:
The default IP address is 10.0.0.1 (for the Tx Lo radio, or after default reset). 10.0.0.2 is the IP
address for a new (from factory) Tx Hi radio.
Telnet
Use Telnet when prompted to enter the administration level login and password. The default
administration login is admin and password is password. It is recommended that the default
administration password be reset by performing a radio reset (see
Reset to Critical Factory Settings).
Figure 16 shows the menu choices available after log in.
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Note: The accessing computer must be on the same IP subnet as the radio. If the radio
supports DHCP and DHCP is enabled (see
Ethernet Interface Configuration Page), which is
the default setting for a radio shipped from Exalt (for the models with this feature), and your
computer’s Ethernet port is set for DHCP addressing, the radio will configure your computer
to 10.0.0.3 or 10.0.0.4, and no manual IP configuration is required.
