RS-232 Management Requirements
A permanent RS-232 connection is normally made during installation (see RS-232 Management
Connection on
page 6-17 ). However, a temporary cable connection can be made at any time to the
Access Navigator’s RS-232 CLI port to start a management session using a craft terminal or computer
with terminal emulation software.
The Access Navigator operating system provides a Command Line Interface (CLI), which uses simple
text based commands and messages. See Command Line Interface Conventions on
page 7-3 for a short
description of the conventions used in this manual to represent management commands, settings, and
messages. For detailed information, see CLI Language Reference on
page 18-1 .
