SHARK™ IAD
The integrated architecture of the SHARK™ IAD makes it easy to setup and
maintain either locally through its craft port or remotely via a WEB Browser or
Telnet session through the WAN or 10/100 BaseT (Fether) interface. The entire
SHARK™ IAD system can be configured via one of its many management
interfaces. Whether you choose the Graphical User Interface (GUI) or
Command Line Interface (CLI) interface, the SHARK™ IAD will fit into your
provisioning and monitoring management architecture. The SHARK™ IAD can
be configured remotely or by the local console port on the chassis. Both allow
for full access to all of the SHARK™ IAD's services and features.
NOTE: The GUI (HTTP) can only be used over
the WAN and 10/100 BaseT interfaces. The
Craft (RS232) and Facility Data Link (FDL)
ports do not support the GUI. Use a terminal or
terminal emulator software on your workstation
to run the CLI from the Craft port. Refer to the
CLI section of this chapter for CLI connectivity
and the CLI chapter of this manual for its use.
When power is first applied to the Shark the
voice cards may output a short burst of ringing
on the 2-Wire FXS circuits.

Even though the SHARK™ IAD is shipped from the factory with the most
common defaults, there are many functions that are site dependent and must be
set up for your specific application. This chapter will show you how to connect
to the SHARK™ IAD, login, and access its configuration interfaces. Follow the
steps in Figure 1 and associated paragraphs to connect to and start configuring
your SHARK™ IAD. These steps are explained in greater detail in either the
"Graphical User Interface (GUI or WEB) Configuration" chapter or "Using the
Command Line Interface (CLI)" chapter of this manual.
