6.0 ConsoleServer 3200 Administration
The following section outlines the administration functions and commands. The
administration functions and commands are designed to enable the administrator to
configure the ConsoleServer 3200 to fit the needs of the system application. User IDs,
devices, terminals and access rights may be configured using the administration
commands. As new features are added to the product, the administration user will also
be used to install new flash memory software updates (see section 6.12, Updating the
ConsoleServer 3200 Software, and Appendix B). The administrator may not access
device ports; only users may access device ports (see section 7.0, User Access
and Interface).
Screen shots of interactive terminal sessions are shown in outlined boxes, while in-text
command words and system responses are in Lucida Console font to differentiate
them from normal text. All system commands require the <ENTER> key to respond, but
are not case-sensitive unless otherwise specified.
Many commands may be abbreviated to one extent or another, but some may not be
abbreviated at all. For example, the command VERSION may be abbreviated to VER,
but LCIUPDATE may not be abbreviated. See Appendix E for more information
regarding abbreviations.
NOTE: <ESC> <ESC> or <CTRL>+C will cancel an operation and return to the
administrator prompt. Pressing <CTRL>+R at the LCI3200> or sys admin> prompt
will discard the characters on the current command line, and retype the last command
used; <ENTER> must still be pressed to execute the command. Pressing <CTRL>+U at
either prompt erases the current command line back to the prompt.
6.1 Power-up Sequence and Basic Use of the Administrator Functions
When the ConsoleServer 3200 is first installed and powered up, it must be configured
through the serial terminal port. Connect the terminal port to a terminal device or
computer using a terminal emulation program (refer to section 3.4 for instructions on
connecting to the terminal port). After the network interface has been configured (see
section 4.4), the administration login may also be reached via telnet. All the functions
available from a local serial connection (with the exception of BACKUP and RESTORE)
are also available through telnet by connecting to port 5000 of a ConsoleServer’s
network IP address. Administration access via modem is not supported at this time.
