Command console access information
silex servers support a sophisticated command-line oriented console for configuration and management. The console
includes some features that are not available through other configuration methods. The console can be accessed via
TELNET, the server’s serial port (if applicable), or through the ADMIN web page using the web browser interface.
The general configuration procedure is the same regardless of which method is used. This document describes the
console commands available from the command console for silex servers. All commands may not be applicable
towards your product.
The general configuration procedure is the same, regardless of which method is used.
Telnet Command Console Access
To connect to the print server using TELNET on UNIX, Windows, or most other TCP/IP systems, type the
following command at the command prompt:
TELNET ipaddress
Where ipaddress is the IP address of the silex server. When you are connected, press RETURN or ENTER to get the
"#" prompt, enter the password (ACESS is the default, it will not echo on your screen as you type), Hit ENTER
until you get the Local> prompt. You are now ready to enter commands.
Serial Port Command Console Access
Attach a null modem serial cable to the DB9 serial port of the print server, and the other side to the COM port on
your computer. Start a terminal emulation program (for example, HyperTerminal on Windows systems). Make sure
you are connecting with the relevant COM port on from your PC and use the following settings for the connection:
BITS PER SECOND: 115200
DATA BITS: 8
PARITY: NONE
STOP BITS: 1
FLOW CONTROL: NONE
Once connected, hit ENTER until you get a Local> prompt. You are now ready to enter commands.
