Onboard Administrator.

prompt.
Secure Shell session

Administrator.
2. When prompted, enter the assigned IP address or DNS name of the Onboard Administrator,
and then press Enter.
3. Enter a valid user name, and then press Enter.
4. Enter a valid password, and then press Enter. The CLI command prompt appears.

Locally accessing the Onboard Administrator
IMPORTANT: Only use the serial port during the initial setup of the OA network. Disconnect after
setup and do not use the serial port as a console interface.
You can access the Onboard Administrator locally through a serial port connector on the rear of
the Onboard Administrator module during the initial set up of the OA network. Use a laptop or
desktop computer as a serial console to communicate with the Onboard Administrator. A laptop
or desktop connected to the Onboard Administrator serial port requires a null-modem cable. The
minimum connection to an external console is pins 2, 3, and 5.
