Chapter 7: Using the Command Line Interface
143
With HyperTerminal
You can use any terminal emulation programs for local access to the
command line interface.
This section illustrates HyperTerminal, which is part of Windows operating
systems prior to Windows Vista.
To log in using HyperTerminal:
1. Connect your computer to the serial port on the Dominion PX device
via a serial cable.
2. Launch HyperTerminal on your computer and open a console window.
When the window first opens, it is blank.
Make sure serial port settings use this configuration:
 Bits per second = 115200 (115.2Kbps)
 Data bits = 8
 Stop bits = 1
 Parity = None
 Flow control = None
3. Press Enter. The Username prompt appears.
4. Type a name and press Enter. The name is case sensitive, so make
sure you capitalize the correct letters. Then you are prompted to enter
a password.
5. Type a password and press Enter. The password is case sensitive, so
make sure you capitalize the correct letters.
After properly entering the password, the # or > system prompt
appears. See Different CLI Modes and Prompts (on page 145) for
details.
Tip: The "La
s
t Login" information, including the date and time, is also
displayed if the same user profile was once used to log in to the
Dominion PX web interface or CLI.
6. You are now logged in to the command line interface and can begin
administering the Dominion PX device.
