Regaining
Configuration
Access to the PPP
Serial Port Console

If the PPP serial port console is configured incorrectly, the command
line interface (CLI) becomes temporarily unavailable for
reconfiguration.

To regain access to the CLI when the console port is in PPP mode:

1. In the console window, type TTY. The CLI login prompt displays.

It may be necessary to press Enter several times to see the login
prompt. You may see the modem init command string.

2. At the Login prompt, enter your user name. The password

prompt displays.

3. At the Password prompt, enter your password. The Cajun CLI

prompt displays.

4. Enter the PPP configuration commands necessary to start PPP.

Refer to “Configuring the Serial Console Port as a PPP Console”,
earlier in this chapter, and “Creating an IP Interface”, in Chapter
7, for more information on PPP configuration commands.

5. After you complete your configuration settings, type exit at the

CLI prompt to reinvoke the modem control software and exit
CLI mode.

* Note: You do not need to exit from CLI if the serial

port console has been configured as a TTY
console, or if you do not intend to re-attempt
connecting using PPP.
