Installing the HSG 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 HSG start-up configuration parameters, depending on the customer’s
network architecture.
The HSG Menu is your starting point. From here, you access all the system
administration items from the 5 (five) primary menus available “configuration,”
“network info,” “port-location,” “subscribers,” and “system.” The HSG Menu also
includes a “logout” option for logging out of the system.
Making Menu Selections and Inputting Data with the CLI
The CLI is character-based. It recognizes the fewest unique characters it needs to
correctly identify an entry. For example, in the HSG Menu you need only enter
c to
access the Configuration menu, but you must enter su to access the Subscribers menu
and
sy to access the System menu (because they both start with the letter “s”).
You may also do any of the following:
z Enter b (back) or press Esc (escape) to return to a previous menu.
z Press Esc to abort an action at any time.
z Press Enter to redisplay the current menu.
z Press ? at any time to access the CLI’s Help screen.
When using the CLI, if a procedure asks you to “enter sn,” this means you must type
sn and press the Enter key. The system does not accept data or commands until you
hit the Enter key.
The HSG 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 HSG’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.
