Logging On to the Command-Line Interface
80 Avidia System Configuration and Management User Manual
LOGGING ON TO THE COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE
You can log on to the command-line interface locally, using a terminal, or remotely, using a
telnet session. For connection instructions, see Chapter 2 on page 11. Only one user can be
logged on to the command-line interface at a time, and the local user takes priority over the
remote user.
If a user is logged on locally, and another user attempts to log on remotely, the remote user
cannot log on. The following messages display:
• on the remote user’s screen: sorry, shell is locked
• on the local user’s screen: someone tried to login from network address
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
If a user is logged on remotely and another user attempts to log on locally, the following
message displays on the local user’s screen:
This system in use via telnet from network address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
If the local user presses any key, the system disconnects the remote user and the local user can
then log on to the command-line interface. The system displays the following messages:
• on the remote user’s screen: Connection to host lost
• at the remote user’s command-line interface prompt: Console is active
The messages on the remote user’s screen may display immediately, or they may display the
next time the remote user presses any key.
1 Do one of the following:
• To log on locally, turn on a terminal that is connected to the management card craft
port, then press to initiate the terminal session and display the
Username: prompt.
• To log on remotely, initiate a telnet session from a remote PC, then connect to the
management card IP address (see your telnet application documentation for
instructions on initiating a telnet session). Press to display the
Username: prompt.
2 Type your user name, then press .
The user name admin is preconfigured for your use.
