5. User Interfaces on the MCH Front Panel
The MCH has two user interfaces at its front panel, the serial management interface and the
Ethernet management interface. The serial interface gives access to the command line inter-
face (CLI) where the operator can manage the rack. The Ethernet management interfaces
gives access to the IPMI system. This kind of communication is called IPMI Over LAN (IOL). A
combination of CLI and IOL is implemented as well, being named Serial Over LAN (SOL).
These interfaces will be discussed in the following.
5.1 Command Line Interface (CLI)
The command line interface (CLI) is accessed via the serial interface on the front panel of the
MCH. The CLI is not necessary for normal operation of the MCH because the only relevant op-
erating elements available are the Hot Swap switches of the MCH and the AMC modules. The
CLI is then necessary for manual configuration when the automatic configuration requires mod-
ification for example for tests or failure analysis.
5.1.1 Interface Parameters
The serial interface should be configured as follows: 9600, 8, N, 1
5.1.2 CLI Command List

and output unless otherwise noted. No '0x' prefix or 'h' suffix is allowed.
