Chapter 5 - Command Line
Management
The command line interface allows you to configure and monitor the
router in-band via Telnet or out-of-band with a terminal connected to
the MicroRouter 1250i’s Console interface.
Note: Proper syntax is vital to effective operation of command line
management. Case is not significant – you may enter commands in
upper case, lower case, or a combination of the two.
Out-of-Band Command Line Management
You can use command line management and text-based configuration
out-of-band as a permanent management tool, or only temporarily in
order to set the router’s IP parameters to allow in-band Telnet access.
In order to access the command line out-of-band, do the following:
1. Set a terminal or a PC equipped with VT100 terminal emulation to
a baud rate of 9600, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Con-
trol.
2. Connect it to the router’s Console interface using the cable which
was supplied with the MicroRouter 1250i.
3. Press the <Return> key one or two times.
4. Enter the default password letmein at the password prompt. The
command line interface prompt will appear on the screen.
If you plan to use out-of-band access for ongoing management of your
router, you can find further information on configuring your router in
Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide. Otherwise, see the section
later in this chapter on Setting Up Telnet Operation for information on
setting the router to allow Telnet access from hosts on its network.
