Connect to the NetVanta 4305
1. Connect a VT100 terminal (or PC with VT100 emulation software) to the NetVanta
CONSOLE port using a DB-9 (male) to DB-9 (female) straight-through serial cable.
2. Configure the COM port with the following parameters:
Data Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity Bits: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
3. Open a VT100 terminal session. (Please refer to the appropriate VT100 terminal software
documentation for detailed instructions.)
4. Press the <Enter> key.
5. Enter enable at the > prompt.
6. Enter the password when prompted. The default password is password.
7. You are now at the # prompt. At the # prompt, enter config terminal to enter the Global
configuration mode.
The NetVanta may be initially accessed and managed either via a console session or
through a Telnet session. See Steps 1-7 above for console session instructions.
Initiating a Telnet session requires using a hub and two Ethernet cables (one for the
PC and one for the unit). The default Ethernet IP address is 10.10.10.1. Refer to
Configure a Telnet Session on page 3 to change Telnet session settings.
Configure the Ethernet Interface
1. At the (config)# prompt, enter interface eth 0/1 to access the configuration parameters for
the Ethernet port located on the rear panel of the unit.
2. Enter ip address 10.10.10.1
using a 24-bit subnet mask.
If you are accessing the NetVanta via Telnet, once you change this IP address, you will
lose connection to the NetVanta. You must change the IP address of your PC before you
can proceed.
ADTRAN recommends that you set the Ethernet speed and duplex to match the switch or
hub it is plugged in to.
For example: (config-eth 0/1)#speed 100
3. Enter no shutdown to activate the interface to pass data.
4. Enter exit to exit the Ethernet interface commands and return to the Global configuration
mode.
