Connection over null modem cable and login
Follow the steps outlined below to specify the IP address of an IE Switch X-400 over the
serial interface:
1. Connect the serial port of the IE Switch X-400 to a PC over a null modem cable.
2. Start a program for terminal emulation, for example the HyperTerminal program available
in Windows (settings see Appendix A).
3. Once the connection is established, the message "Login": appears. Enter "admin" (for
administrator) assuming you have this access permission and press Return.
4. When prompted for the "Password:" enter your password. Make sure you read the notes
below.
5. Enter "AGENT" when the message CLI> appears; you then change to the required
submenu. Following this, you can enter the commands for configuring the IP address.
You will find a description of these commands in the next section.
Note
If no new passwords have been assigned (def
ault factory setting), the valid password is
"admin" for the administrator login and "user" for the user login with restricted permissions.
After a successful login over the serial interface, you can enter commands until you log off
with the "exit" command
. The session is closed automatically if there is no further activity for
5 minutes.
Note
If you lose the password, you can reset an IE Switch X
-300/X-
400 to the factory settings with
the SET/SEL button on the CPU module. To do this, press the SET/SEL
button in the basic
status display mode A (the LEDs D1 and D2 are off) for 12 seconds. You can cancel the
reset procedure by releasing the button before the 12 seconds have elapsed. All settings you
made previously are overwritten by the factory defaults.
The passwords "admin" and "user"
are then valid again.
Commands for the Command Line Interface
The commands provided for the configuration of the IP address by the CLI in the submenu
AGENT are described in the section "Agent Configuration menu item".
For general information on the Command Line Interface, refer to the section "Command Line
Interface (CLI)".
