57Interface Manager and Command View TL Installation Guide
Using the Serial Method
To use the serial UI, you must use a terminal emulation program on the
management station (or other PC or laptop that is connected to the Interface
Manager card via the serial cable). HyperTerminal is a commonly used,
Windows-based terminal emulation program.
To start the serial session:
1. If you have not already done so, connect the small end of the included serial
cable to the 3-pin serial connector on the Interface Manager card. Connect the
other end of the serial cable to an available serial port on the PC or laptop.
2. Start the terminal emulation program. A variety of programs may be used, but
HyperTerminal is the most common. To start HyperTerminal, click Start >
Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal.
3. Set the communications settings as follows:
■ Port Speed: 9600
■ Data Bits: 8
■ Parity: none
■ Stop bits: 1
■ Flow control: none
4. At the login prompt, use the following information:
■ Username: cliadmin
■ Password: clipwd
5. Enter the following command:
show network ipaddress
■ If the IP address is 1.1.1.1, then DHCP mode was either disabled, or unable to
obtain an IP address automatically. Proceed to step 6 to set the IP address.
■ If the IP address is anything other than 1.1.1.1, then DHCP obtained the IP
address automatically. If you choose to keep this IP address, then record it and
proceed to step 7. To change the address, continue with step 6. You will need
the IP address when configuring Command View TL or using the Telnet
interface.
