14.1 The Linux Command line
Power up the Console Server and connect the “terminal” device:
o If you are connecting using the serial line, plug a serial cable between the Console
Server local DB-9 port and terminal device. Configure the serial connection of the
“terminal” device/program you are using to 115200bps, 8 data bits, no parity and
one stop bit. If you are using a program running on a Windows computer as the
terminal device, then the cable is made up from a Cat5 UTP cable and two DB-9 to
RJ-45 adapters
o If you are connecting over the LAN, you will need to interconnect the Ethernet ports
and direct your terminal emulator program to the IP address of the Console Server
(192.168.0.1 by default)
Log on to the Console Server by pressing ‘return’ a few times. The Console Server will
request a username and password. Enter the username root and the password default.
You should now see the command line prompt which is a hash (#)
The config Tool
Syntax
config [ -ahv ] [ -d id ] [ -g id ] [ -p path ] [ -r configurator ] [ -s id=value ]
Description
The config tool allows manipulation and querying of the system configuration from the
command line. Using config, the new configuration can be activated by running the relevant
configurator which performs the action necessary to make the configuration changes live.
Configuration elements which can be changed are specified by a unique '.' separated name. For
example, the configuration file version is identified as 'config.version'.
The config tool is designed to perform multiple actions from one command if needed, so if
necessary, options can be chained together.
