Logging in and performing basic
configurations
The first time you access the L1000-A, you can log in to the CLI through the console port or log in to the
Web interface by using a Web browser. After login, you can configure Telnet for remote access.
Logging in to the CLI through the console port
To log in to the CLI through the console port, you must have a console cable and a terminal (for example,
a PC).
The terminal can be any character terminal with an RS-232 port or a PC. Typically, a PC running a
terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal on a Windows operating system) is used. In the
following sections, a PC running Windows XP HyperTerminal is used.
The console cable can be an 8-core shielded cable that has an RJ-45 connector at one end for
connecting to the console port of the L1000-A and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for
connecting to the serial port on the terminal.
Connecting the terminal to the L1000-A
1.
Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the PC.
2.
Plug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the L1000-A.
