ACCESSING THE CONFIGURATION

1 INTERFACE

This chapter explains how to attach to the configuration interface locally via the console port or remotely via a Telnet session. This chapter also introduces you to the capabilities and conventions associated with management of your OfficeConnect Remote 812.

Establishing Communications with the OfficeConnect Remote 812

Local Connection If you want to attach locally to the OfficeConnect Remote 812 via the console (serial) port, you will need to connect the supplied serial cable to the Console Port located on the unit and the Serial Port on your computer. In addition, you will also need a terminal emulation program appropriate for your computer. See the following subsections for various emulation options.

No matter which emulator you use, configure your settings to:

9600 baud

8 data bits

no parity

1 stop bit

direct connect

IBM-PC Compatible Computers

Windows Terminal (included with Microsoft Windows) and ProComm Plus are popular communications packages which support VT100 terminal emulation for IBM-PC compatible computers. HyperTerm, bundled with Windows 95, also provides terminal emulation.

Macintosh Computers

ProComm, MicroPhone, White Knight, Kermit, Red Ryder, VersaTerm and ZTerm (a shareware application available on the Internet and many online services) are popular communications programs which carry vt100 terminal emulation service for Macintosh computers. If you don’t have a communications package or your program doesn’t support vt100 emulation, ZTerm will function just as well.

1-2 CHAPTER 1: ACCESSING THE CONFIGURATION INTERFACE

UNIX-Based Computers

Kermit, minicom and tip are typical terminal emulation programs for UNIX-based computers. Depending on the platform you’re using, you may need to modify a configuration file for vt100 settings.

Remote Connection If you want to attach to the OfficeConnect Remote 812 via the LAN or WAN interface of the unit, you will need to establish a Telnet connection to the unit.

The OfficeConnect Remote 812 must have an IP address and an administrative login profile (username and password) in order to connect to it with Telnet. The IP address and administrative login profile are automatically created when the unit is initially configured using the IP Wizard or in DHCP Smart Mode. The default username is 'root' and the default password is '!root'. Refer to the OfficeConnect Remote 812 ADSL Router Install Guide for information on the IP Wizard or DHCP Smart Mode initialization. Alternatively, the IP address and administrative login profile can be created with CLI using the QuickSetup program or using individual commands.

From Windows 95, you can go to the DOS Window and run: telnet <ip_address>

This will bring up the login prompt for the unit. Once you have successfully logged in, the Command Line Interface presentation is the same as if you were locally attached.

When you want to terminate your Telnet session, type quit at the CLI prompt.

CLI COMMAND CONVENTIONS AND

2 TERMINOLOGY

This chapter describes the command syntax, conventions and terminology used within the Command Line Interface. Reviewing and understanding this chapter is essential for you to understand subsequent chapters.

Command

Structure

Format Commands can be followed by values and/or parameters and values. For example:

add ip network <network_name>

address [ip_addr]

{interface [eth:1] }

add ip network is the command

<network_name> is the (required) value for the command

address is a required parameter

[ip_addr] is the value for the IP address parameter which you must provide

interface is only required if you want to override the default value, which is eth:1

Parameters

are order independent

{ … } parameters enclosed by curly braces are required, and are provided with default values. You do not need to specify these parameters unless you wish to override the default.

Values

< … > required values for a command or parameter are enclosed by arrows.

[ … ] range of values following parameters are enclosed in brackets. Inside the brackets, if you see a:

| (vertical bar) you may select only one of the displayed choices: [FIRST | SECOND | THIRD]

, (comma) you can select one or more of the displayed choices: [FIRST,SECOND,THIRD,...]

The type of value you enter must match the type requested. Numbers are either decimal or hexadecimal. Text can be either a string that you create, or it

2-2 CHAPTER 2: CLI COMMAND CONVENTIONS AND TERMINOLOGY

may be a list of options you must choose from. When choosing an option, type the text of the option exactly.

Names or Strings

“Double quotation marks” set off user-defined strings. If you want white space or special characters in a string, it must be enclosed by “double quotation marks”.

Network Address Formats

Many commands require a network address, to define a link to a remote host, workstation or network. Network addresses are shown in this document using the syntax described in the following table:

Address Type	Format	Range
IP_address	a.b.c.d	0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
		(decimal)
ip_net_address	a.b.c.d/mask	255.255.255.255/A,B,C,H
mac_address	xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx	hexadecimal digit pairs

Abbreviation and	Commands can be abbreviated if arguments you write are unique.
Command	For example, you can type se vc jay pa bird, short for: set vc jay password
Completion	bird is acceptable, but se vc jay i 222.111.111.111 isn’t unique because i can
	stand for ip, ip_routing, or ip_source_validation.
	As a convention, some commands illustrated in this manual are abbreviated
	and annotated as such (abbr.) for brevity.
	Also, some parameters are omitted in examples because they default to
	standard values and do not require entry, or are unnecessary for common
	configuration. See the CLI Reference section for more details.
	Command completion finishes spelling a unique, abbreviated parameter for
	you just by pressing the key. It’s handy when you’re in a hurry or uncertain
	about a command. For example, if you type add ip n[ESC], it will spell out the
	keyword network without losing your place in the command syntax.

Control Characters Commands can be retrieved by typing <ctrl>p [^p] (for previous) and <ctrl>n [^n] (for next). Command retrieval consults the history of previous fully entered commands, defaulting at the last ten commands. If an error occurs while a command is processing, any partial command (up to and including the field in error) is added to the history list.

The current command can be killed by pressing <ctrl>c [^ c].

A partially completed command line can be reprinted - a useful function if, due to interrupted output, you’re unsure what OfficeConnect Remote 812 has “seen” up to now - by pressing <ctrl>l [^ l] (for last).

Help Help is general or positional. Type help <any command> to get a cursory list of associated commands and its syntax. Type <any command> ? to get more extensive, positional help for a particular field. Help is most useful during configuration: query the list of possible parameters by typing ? and, when you find the value you need, type it without losing your place in the argument. Just be sure to leave a space between the keyword and the question mark.

	Command Structure 2-3
Conventions
Conventions	Most commands are not case sensitive. As a rule, only <name> and [password]
	values require typing the correct case.

Configuration changes occur immediately but are lost on reboot unless you save them. The save all command places configuration changes in FLASH ROM (permanent memory). The changes are lost if not saved to FLASH ROM or if power is lost before you can save them.

Commands to delete a network user, interface, route, TCP connection, community name, network service and others cannot take place unless the process or function has first been disabled.

Wherever an IP address value is required, you can enter a host name provided you have configured a DNS server or put the name and address into the DNS Local Host table.

Command Language The CLI command language creates, manages, displays and removes system Terminology entities. These entities describe system and network connections and processes.

Most of the managed entities in the system are slotted in tables. Some common examples are:

Network - defines local and remote networks, network connections, hosts and routers

VC - A table of parameters that describes connection parameters associated with a remote site. These parameters are used when establishing a network connection over the WAN.

User - A table of parameters that describes connection parameters associated with Telnet users that wish to attach and remotely manage the unit.

Filter - can be applied to interfaces, connections, and users to control access through the system

Interface - describes physical devices; for example, ports

Syslog Host - receives system messages

DNS Server - translates IP addresses to and from host names

Route - describes a path through the network to another system or network

Table entries are created with an add command, and removed with a delete command. The add command specifies the most important parameters of the entry. Additional parameters are usually specified with the set command, which is also used to change configured parameters.

The list command displays table entries. For example, list users displays all defined administrative login profiles.

The show command displays detailed information about a specific table entry. For example, show user root displays detailed information for the administrative login profile root.

2-4 CHAPTER 2: CLI COMMAND CONVENTIONS AND TERMINOLOGY

CONFIGURATION METHODS

3

OfficeConnect Remote 812 CLI offers three setup choices, all of which are described in this section: the automated, Quick Setup method, the QuickVC Setup method, and the manual method. Review the capabilities of each below and decide which configuration method best suits your needs, then proceed to the appropriate chapter for detailed configuration guidelines for each method.

Quick Setup

Instructions

The Quick Setup program for the CLI is designed to get your OfficeConnect Remote 812 up and running fast. To ensure that you have all the information you need on hand before you engage Quick Setup, we have supplied a script to jot down system, management, and LAN configuration information. We recommend that you fill out either script completely to get the full benefit of the program.

Used in combination with the QuickVC Setup program, Quick Setup allows virtually complete console-based configuration of your OfficeConnect Remote 812 without requiring any knowledge of CLI command syntax.

The questions beginning in the next chapter represent nearly the full text of what Quick Setup would query if you were to use every service available as configured on the CLI. If you are using partial service - just IP configuration, for example - Quick Setup will skip the Bridging section. Default values are enclosed in brackets

[ ].

If at any time you decide to quit Quick Setup, you can type <ctrl>c (^c) throughout the program.

The QuickVC Setup program for the CLI is designed to get virtual circuits for your OfficeConnect Remote 812 configured quickly. To ensure that you have all the information you need on hand before you engage QuickVC Setup, we have supplied a script to jot down information for VC connections. We recommend that you fill out either script completely to get the full benefit of the program.

Used in combination with the Quick Setup program, QuickVC Setup allows virtually complete console-based configuration of your OfficeConnect Remote 812 without requiring any knowledge of CLI command syntax.

The questions beginning in Chapter 5 represent nearly the full text of what QuickVC Setup would query if you were to use every service available as configured on the CLI. If you are using partial service QuickVC Setup will skip some sections. Default values are enclosed in brackets [ ].

3-2 CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION METHODS

Manual Setup

Instructions

Once you become familiar with the CLI interface, you might find it more efficient to manage the OfficeConnect Remote 812 manually. Manual configuration is most versatile in that you only enter commands that need to effectively change from the current configuration. Also, many of the advanced features can only be accessed through manual configuration (such as filtering).

This chapter will describe in detail the operations of the Quick Setup program. It will identify the required information, steps involved, and sample output scripts from the execution of this program.

CLI Quick Setup

Script

Introduction The CLI Quick Setup program allows you to quickly configure LAN-side, global and management settings for your OfficeConnect Remote 812. Instead of using cryptic commands, you will simply respond to a series of questions regarding different aspects of your configuration. The program will convert your responses into the appropriate CLI commands and execute them.

The CLI Quick Setup program automatically executes when the OfficeConnect Remote 812 is powered on with no configuration and all DIP switches in the back of the unit are in the OFF position. This boot mode is called Unconfigured Mode. An OfficeConnect Remote 812 unit can be restored to an unconfigured state by ensuring that all DIP switches are in the OFF position and by deleting the configuration by performing one of the following:

1Press the Configuration reset button on the back of the unit while powering on.

2Issue the delete configuration command from the CLI.

3Use the browser-based OfficeConnect Remote 812 Manager to delete the configuration.

For more information on the OfficeConnect Remote 812 boot modes see Chapter 2: Getting Started in the OfficeConnectRemote 812 ADSL Router Install Guide.

Instructions The following sections contain the CLI Quick Setup script. You will be required to enter information concerning your network configuration. Questions in the script are presented here in tables. Write the appropriate information for your desired configuration in the following tables.

Setup Script The OfficeConnect Remote 812 Quick Setup will let you set up LAN-side and global configuration for your system.To configure wide-area profiles you should run the OfficeConnect Remote 812 VC Wizard using the QUICKVC command.
