Chapter 5: Getting Started: Command Line Interface
User Login IDs
There are two types of user logins: user and admin. The admin level enables you to view and change informa-
tion. The user level enables you to view the information but not configure via CLI.
Access CLI
You can access the CLI through a Telnet session, a terminal-like access to any Tenor DX unit. If your PC is
directly connected to the Tenor DX unit, you can configure the unit directly through the serial port using
HyperTerminal. Both methods are described below.
NOTE: Alternatively, you may want to use other telnet clients, such as the Linux telnet client or free pro-
grams like Putty. If you choose to do so, you may have to make minor setting changes in the Telnet
client in order to make it function correctly.
Telnet Connection
Once the Tenor DX has been initially configured with an IP address network and is connected, the easiest way
to connect to the Tenor DX and use the CLI is through a standard Telnet session from any PC on your IP net-
work. Connect to a Tenor DX unit via Telnet as follows:
For Windows 95/Windows 98:
1. Click on Start> Run. The Run dialog box will be displayed.
2. Type telnet and click on Ok.
3. Click on Connect> Remote System.
4. In the Host Name field type, enter the IP address assigned to your Tenor DX.
5. Click on Connect.
A connection to the Tenor DX unit will be established.
For Windows 2000 and above:
1. Click on Start> Run.
2. The Open dialog box will be displayed. Type telnet and click on Ok. (Or type telnet followed by the IP
address and you will connect.)
3. At the telnet prompt, type open (followed by the IP address for the unit to which you want to connect.)
A connection to the Tenor DX unit will be established.
