Digicast Media Router Serial IP (SIP): CMR-5910 (MG-SIP) & CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) Revision A
Device Management via User Interfaces - CMR-5920 (MR-SIP) MN/MDRTRIPDC.IOM
5.3 Terminal Interface
The Terminal Interface provides the user with a textual configuration dialog for
configuring the MR-SIP. This method of configuration should be used for initial
configuration of the unit – i.e., configuring the network parameters for the unit, but not
for normal operation. The Web (HTTP) Interface is recommended for operational
management.
The Terminal Interface allows the entire unit to be configured and managed, but this
interface can only be used while a serial connection is present between the MR-SIP and a
PC. While the same menu information is displayed via the Telnet interface, there are
specific features available only via the ‘serial interface’ access method – these ‘serial
interface only’ features are noted in this section.
Figure 5-10 shows the hierarchal structure of the Terminal Interface-based menus, and
the sections in this chapter which provide figures of these submenu pages.
Figure 5-10. Menu Hierarchy (via Terminal Interface)
Once the terminal interface is connected, as described in Chapter 2.4 Initial Configuration,
press the
key. The user should observe the the Main Menu, shown in Figure 5-11.
