2.3 Software Installation
This section illustrates how to establish basic connectivity on the PON. After completing this
section the user will be able to transport packets across the system, and will be ready to
start advanced testing. The Software Setup consists of installing a Terminal utility to access
the Evaluation Kit CLIs and a sophisticated GUI to manage the system.
2.3.1 Console Port Command Line Interface
The EPL-1000 has a 10/100 Mb MGMT port in for the connection of a management GUI. It
also has Command Line Interface (CLI) access through a Console port on each board
(ONU and OLT). By connecting a straight-through serial cable to any board to a serial COM
port on a PC, the user can access each chip for low level diagnostics and debugging.
Although there are many commercial available Terminal Utilities such as MS Windows
HyperTerminal, Tera Term is used in this User’s manual as the Terminal Utility of choice.
Tera Term is recommended if you wish to perform firmware upgrades using the CLI. This
has been found to be the most reliable tool for downloading binary files to the ONU and OLT.
.
Please download and install on each PC being used to connect to EPL-1000. Once
installed, configure the Transmit settings as follows.
1) Setup the serial port by selecting “Serial Port” from the Tera Term “Setup” menu.
Tera Term Serial Port Settings
2) Set up the Serial port with the settings shown in 0 and click OK.
