8.3 Establishing a CLI Session
The device's CLI can be accessed using any of the following methods:
RS-232: The device can be accessed through its RS-232 serial port, by connecting a
VT100 terminal to it or using a terminal emulation program (e.g., HyperTerminal) with
a PC. For connecting to the CLI through RS-232, see CLI on page
49.
Secure SHell (SSH): The device can be accessed through its Ethernet interface by
the SSH protocol using SSH client software. A popular and freeware SSH client
software is Putty, which can be downloaded from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Telnet: The device can be accessed through its Ethernet interface by the Telnet
protocol using Telnet client software.
The following procedure describes how to access the CLI through Telnet/SSH.
Note: The CLI login credentials are the same as all the device's other management
interfaces (such as Web interface). The default username and password is "Admin"
and "Admin" (case-

''Configuring Web User Accounts'' on page 82.
To establish a CLI session with the device:
1. Connect the device to the network.

3. Log in to the session using the username and password assigned to the Admin user of
the Web interface:
