AG 5500
Installing the AG 5500 35
The Management Interfaces (CLI and Web)
Until the unit is installed on the customer’s network and a remote connection is established, the
CLI is the administrator’s window to the system. This is where you establish all the AG 5500
start-up configuration parameters, depending on the customer’s network architecture.
The AG 5500 Menu is your starting point. From here, you access all the system administration
items from the 5 (five) primary menus available:
z Configuration
z Network Info
z Port-location
z Subscribers
z System
The AG 5500 supports various methods for managing the system remotely. These
include, an embedded graphical Web Management Interface (WMI), an SNMP
client, or Telnet. However, until the unit is installed and running, system
management is performed from the AG 5500’s embedded CLI via a direct serial
cable connection. The CLI can also be accessed remotely.
Although the basic functional elements are the same, the CLI and the WMI have
some minor content and organizational differences. For example, in the WMI the
“subscribers” menu is divided into “Subscriber Administration” and
“Subscriber Interface.” See also, “Menu Organization (Web Management
Interface)” on page 36.
