Features and Benefits
Overview
The CCM console management appliance provides non-blocked access and control for serial
devices such as serial-managed Linux (or other UNIX) servers, routers, power management
devices and firewalls. You may connect up to 48 serial devices to a CCM4850 appliance.
A single 10/100/1000 Ethernet port provides network connectivity on each CCM4850 appliance.
The unit also has a console port that uses a Command Line Interface (CLI) for configuration,
management and optionally, connection to other ports.
A CCM4850 appliance may be mounted in 1U of vertical space in a standard 19 inch rack.
1
Serial device access options
You may choose from among several available Telnet options to access the CCM appliance and its
attached serial devices:
• The AVWorks
client and a Secure Shell (SSH) client
• Third party Telnet clients
• Third party SSH clients
Access to attached serial devices is also possible through the appliance serial CLI, plus PPP (Point
to Point Protocol) and other types of dial-in connections to a modem on the console port.
User authentication and data security
The CCM user database supports up to 64 user accounts, which include usernames, passwords and/
or keys, plus specifications of access rights to CCM appliance ports and commands. User
definitions may be changed at any time. You may choose to have user access authenticated locally
at the CCM user database or at one or more RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-In User Service)
servers. Data security may be enhanced using industry-standard SSH encryption.

cross-platform management application that offers a built-in enhanced Telnet
2 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
Extensive command set
The CCM appliance offers a wide range of commands that allow administrators to easily configure,
control and display information about the CCM appliance operating environment, including its
ports, user accounts and active sessions. The serial CLI is always available on the unit’s console
port, and may be easily accessed during a session with an attached serial device.
The user interface also offers descriptive error message data and built-in command help
information. On-board Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) support allows administrators to
upload new functionality to CCM appliances in the field.
Port history
Each CCM port has a buffer that holds the most recent 64K bytes of online and offline serial data.
A separate history command mode lets you navigate within a port’s current history file and conduct
tailored searches.
Safety Precautions
To avoid potential device problems, if the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that a computer
and its monitor (if used) are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.
To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the
following precautions:
• Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Equinox product configuration.
• Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor (if used) for proper polarity and grounding.
• Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When using a backup Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor and the CCM appliance off
the supply.
Rack mount safety considerations
• Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operation temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Use care not to exceed the
rated maximum ambient temperature of the unit.
• Reduced Airflow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings for maximum current.
• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Pay
particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit
(for example, use of power strips).
Using AVWorks Software
The AVWorks cross-platform management application may be used to manage CCM4850
appliances and access attached devices. Using AVWorks software, you may perform most of the
operations that are described in this manual. This manual describes how to manage a CCM4850
appliance by entering commands using the CLI. The AVWorks Installer/User Guide describes how
to manage a CCM4850 appliance using the graphic interface.

Installing the CCM Appliance
WARNING: This unit is not user serviceable. To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to open the unit or operate
with the cover off. Do not attempt to make any repairs. See Appendix E on page 81 for information.
WARNING: The power outlet should be near the equipment and easily accessible.
To install the CCM appliance hardware:
1. Place the unit where you can connect cables between the serial devices and the CCM serial
ports, and where you can connect a LAN interface cable between the Ethernet hub or switch
and the CCM LAN PORT connector.
2. Connect serial devices to the CCM serial ports; see Device Cabling on page 73 for cable information. Connect each serial device to its appropriate power source, following the
device’s documentation.
3. Attach a 10BaseT, 100BaseT or 1000BaseT LAN interface cable to the LAN PORT connector
on the back of the CCM appliance. A CAT 5 cable is required for 100BaseT operation. A CAT
6 cable is required for 1000BaseT operation.
4. Insert the power cord into the back of the unit. Insert the other end of the power cord into a
grounded electrical receptacle. Toggle the power switch on the back of the unit to the
on position ( | ).
5. Check that the POWER LED on the front of the unit is illuminated. If not, check the power
cable to ensure that it is inserted snugly into the back of the unit. The ONLINE LED will illuminate within two to three minutes to indicate that the self-test is complete. If the ONLINE
LED blinks, contact Equinox Technical Support for assistance.
6. Check that the LAN port LEDs indicate that a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps link exists. If not, check
the Ethernet cable to ensure that both ends are correctly inserted into their jacks. If the unit is
connected to a 100 MB Ethernet hub, the 100MBps LED will also be illuminated.
7. Once the POWER and ONLINE LEDs and a valid LAN LED link sequence are illuminated,
proceed with the configuration process (if you will be using BootP, remove power from the
CCM appliance).
Configuring the CCM Appliance
To configure the CCM appliance, you must specify a unique IP address, plus other network address
information. This information will be stored in the CCM configuration database. During initial
login, you will specify a password for the Admin user.
Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration 7
Configuring the network address settings
You may configure the CCM appliance network address settings using AVWorks software, BootP
or the serial CLI on the console port.
To configure the network address settings using AVWorks software:
Using the AVWorks New Appliance Wizard is the easiest method to configure the CCM appliance
network address settings. See the AVWorks Installer/User Guide for instructions. After the
network address settings are configured, see Initial CCM appliance login on page 9.
To configure the network address settings using BootP:
1. Ensure that there is a BootP server on your network that is configured to correctly respond to a
BootP request from the CCM appliance. BootP servers require the Ethernet MAC address of
network devices. The Ethernet MAC address is located on the back of the unit. See your BootP
server’s system administrator guide for information about configuring the BootP server.
2. After you have configured your network’s BootP server with the CCM appliance Ethernet
MAC address, IP address, subnet mask and gateway, restore power to the CCM appliance and
wait for the ONLINE LED to illuminate. Once this occurs, the CCM appliance has completed
the BootP protocol, obtained its network address information and stored these in FLASH.
8 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
3. You may verify that the BootP process was successful with a ping command, which tests network connectivity. The ping command is entered as:
ping <ip_address>
For example, the following command tests the network connectivity of a CCM appliance with
the IP address 192.168.0.5.
ping 192.168.0.5
4. If the CCM appliance completes the BootP successfully, you will see a display similar to
the following.
Pinging 192.168.0.5 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128
If the CCM appliance did not successfully obtain its IP address with the BootP protocol, you
will see a display similar to the following.
Pinging 192.168.0.5 with 32 bytes of data
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
In this case, check the address information provided to the BootP server to confirm they are
correct. Verify that the Ethernet LAN adaptor cable is correctly installed on the CCM
appliance and the Ethernet hub.
After the network address settings are configured successfully, launch a Telnet session to the
assigned IP address. Then, see Initial CCM appliance login on page 9.
To configure the CCM appliance using the serial CLI:
1. Attach a compatible device to the console port. The compatible device types are: ASCII,
VT52, VT100, VT102, VT220 and VT320.
For cable and adaptor information, see Device Cabling on page 73. You may use any terminal
emulation program that is available on your system.
2. Configure your terminal or terminal emulation program as follows.
Baud rate 9600
Bits per character 8
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
3. Press the
Return or Enter key until a prompt appears, requesting your username. If you do not
receive a prompt after pressing the key five times, check your cable and serial settings to be
sure that they are correct.
4. Proceed to Initial CCM appliance login on page 9.
Initial CCM appliance login
The CCM appliance ships with a single user defined in its user database. The first time you connect
to the CCM appliance, you are prompted for a username.
To log in to the CCM appliance for the first time:
Chapter 2: Installation and Configuration 9
1. At the Username prompt, type
user. At the Password prompt, press
Username: Admin
Password:
Authentication Complete
CCM configuration is required.
Admin. There is no factory default password for the Admin
Return.
2. Once authentication completes, the CCM appliance prompts for any missing configuration values that are required for operation.
If you already provided the IP address, subnet mask and gateway, you will not be prompted for
those values again.
If you have not already provided the network information, you will be prompted for them.
Enter the addresses using standard dot notation.
CCM configuration is required
Enter CCM IP address > 192.168.0.5
Enter CCM Subnet mask > 255.255.255.0
Enter CCM Gateway address > 0.0.0.0
3. You are prompted for a new Admin password. Passwords are case sensitive and must contain
3-16 alphanumeric characters. You must enter the new password twice to confirm that you
entered it correctly.
Enter CCM New Admin Password > *****
Confirm New Admin Password > *****
After you have provided the required configuration information, a confirmation message appears
while the CCM appliance stores the values in its configuration database.
You have now completed the initial login, and you may enter additional commands at the CLI
prompt (>). To configure other CCM appliance ports, see Configuring Serial Port Settings on
page 11.
Reinitializing the CCM Appliance
Reinitializing the CCM appliance removes configured information. This may be useful when
reinstalling the unit at another location in your network.
The CCM appliance stores configuration information in FLASH databases. During reinitialization,
the FLASH erase has two phases. The first phase erases the configuration database, which contains
all nonvolatile data except the IP address. The second phase erases the IP address and restores the
CCM appliance to its factory default settings.
10 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
To reinitialize the CCM appliance:
1. Locate the recessed INIT button on the front of the CCM appliance. An opened paper clip may
be used to depress the button.
2. Insert the end of the opened paper clip in the recess, then depress and hold the button. The
ONLINE LED will blink, indicating an initialization has been requested. You have approximately seven seconds to release the button before any action is taken.
After seven seconds, the ONLINE LED will blink more rapidly to confirm that the CCM
configuration database has been erased. Continuing to hold the INIT button for a few more
seconds will erase the IP address as well. The ONLINE LED will blink faster to confirm
the deletion.
If any portion of FLASH is erased, the CCM appliance reboots when the INIT button is released.
You may also use the Server FLASH command to update the CCM FLASH application or boot
program. For more information, see Server FLASH command on page 50.

Overview
The CCM console management appliance and its ports are easily configured and managed to meet
your requirements for device connection, user authentication, access control, power status
monitoring, port history information display and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
compliance for use with third party network management products.
Configuring Serial Port Settings
By default, ports are configured with the settings listed in Table 3.1.
11
Table 3.1: Default Port Settings
Parameter Value
Target device Console
Name xx-xx-xx Pn (last 3 octets of MAC address plus the port number)
Baud rate 9600
Bits per character 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
Time-out 15 minutes
CLI access character Use Server CLI setting (^D)
Power None
Most of these settings are standard serial port operating characteristics.
The CLI access character parameter specifies how you access the CLI. For more information, see
CLI mode on page 19.
12 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
The Power parameter instructs the CCM appliance to monitor the state of a specified control signal.
Signal transitions may be configured to trigger SNMP traps. The parameter value indicates an
inbound control signal (CTS, DCD or DSR) and the state of that signal (low or high). When the
defined signal is true, the CCM appliance interprets it as a power on condition for the attached
device; when the signal is false, a power off condition for the device is assumed. The signal
specified for flow control may not be used for power control, and vice versa.
To configure serial port settings:
Issue a Port Set command. You may specify settings for one or all ports.
PORT [<port>|ALL] SET [NAME=<name>] [BAUD=<baud>] [SIZE=<size>]
[PARITY=<parity>] [STOP=<stop_bits>] [FLOW=<flow_ctrl>] [TIMEOUT=<time-out>]
[SOCKET=<socket>] [CHAR=^<cli_char>] [TOGGLE=NONE|DTR] [POWER=<signal>]
For more information and descriptions of all valid parameters, see Port Set command on page 45.
To display serial port settings:
Issue a Show Port command.
SHOW PORT [<port>|ALL|NAMES]
The display includes configuration information, current power status (if power status monitoring
has been enabled), plus transmit, receive and error counts. When you request information about a
single port and a user is currently accessing that port, the display also includes the username, access
rights and other information about the current session.
When you request information about port names, the display includes the port numbers and names.
If a port’s name has not been changed with a Port Set command, the logical name is displayed.
For more information, see Show Port command on page 59.
Connecting to Serial Devices
The CCM appliance offers several methods for connecting to attached serial devices: Telnet, serial
CLI, PPP and SSH.
Connecting to devices using Telnet
Each CCM serial port is directly addressable through a unique TCP port that provides a connection
to the attached serial device.
Plain text (non-encrypted) Telnet connections are enabled by default. For information about
enabling both plain text Telnet and SSH connections, Enabling plain text Telnet and SSH
connections on page 18 and Server Security command on page 53.
You may access the CCM appliance and its ports using Equinox-provided or third party Telnet
client applications. Third party Telnet applications may be used in combination with AVWorks
software or standalone.
Chapter 3: Operations 13
AVWorks software Telnet client
Each CCM appliance is shipped with the AVWorks cross-platform management application.
AVWorks software provides a convenient way to select a CCM appliance or an attached device and
launch a Telnet session to manage it.
AVWorks software includes a built-in Serial Console Viewer Telnet application that offers several
features not found in other Telnet clients. For maximum flexibility, AVWorks software allows you
to associate a unique Telnet client with each CCM port. AVWorks software also provides built-in
support for SSH2.
You may specify the built-in Telnet client or a third party Telnet client. For more information, see
the AVWorks Installer/User Guide.
Standalone third party Telnet clients
You may use third party Telnet clients to access the CCM appliance directly without
AVWorks software.
To connect to a device using Telnet:
Type
telnet, followed by the CCM IP address and the appropriate TCP port, which by default is
3000 plus the physical port number, in decimal format. (The TCP port number may be changed for
any CCM port.)
For example, the following Telnet command connects to the serial device attached to physical port
24 of the CCM appliance.
telnet 192.168.0.5 3024
If an authentication method other than None has been configured for the CCM appliance, you will
be prompted for a username and password. Once authentication completes, your connection is
confirmed. When you successfully connect to the serial device, you will see a display similar to
the following.
Username: Myname
Password: ******
Authentication Complete
Connected to Port: 7 9600,8,N,1,XON/XOFF
If the authentication method is configured as None, you may Telnet and connect to a serial device
without entering credentials; however, credentials are always required when connecting to the
CCM CLI.
NOTE: When using AVWorks software, the configuration of the credential caching feature may affect whether
you are prompted for a username and password. See the AVWorks Installer/User Guide for more information.
Data entered at the Telnet client is written to the attached serial device. Any data received by the
CCM appliance from the serial device is output to your Telnet client.
Connecting to devices from the console port
You may connect to one serial device at a time from the console port, using a local terminal or a
local PC using a terminal emulation program. If you connect an external modem to the console
14 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
port, you may also access devices through a remote terminal or PC that can dial into the external
modem. For information about modem connections, see Configuring and using dial-in connections
on page 14 and Server CLI command on page 49.
To connect to a device from the console port:
1. Issue a Server CLI command, using the Connect parameter to enable the use of the Connect
command from the console port.
SERVER CLI CONNECT=ON
2. Issue a Connect command to the desired port.
CONNECT <port>
3. To end a device session that was initiated with a Connect command, issue a Disconnect command.
DISCONNECT
For more information, see Server CLI command on page 49, Connect Command on page 41 and
Disconnect Command on page 41.
Configuring and using dial-in connections
You may attach an external modem to the console port for dial-in serial CLI access to the CCM
appliance. This may be used as a backup connection if the unit is not accessible from the network.
It may also be used as a primary connection at remote sites that do not have Ethernet network
capability. The modem must be Hayes compatible.
To specify a modem initialization string:
1. Issue a Server CLI command, using the Modeminit parameter to specify the modem initialization string.
SERVER CLI MODEMINIT=“<string>”
The string must be enclosed in quotes and must include at least the command settings ATV1
and SO=1, which cause the modem to issue verbose response strings and autoanswer the phone
on the first ring. For more information, see Server CLI command on page 49.
The modem initialization string is sent to the cabled modem when any of the following
conditions occur:
• CCM appliance initialization
• Detection of a transition of DSR from low to high
• Completion of a call when DCD changes from high to low
2. Upon successful modem connection, press the
Enter key until the login prompt appears.
To display modem configuration information:
Issue a Show Server CLI command.
SHOW SERVER CLI
For more information, see Show Server CLI command on page 61.
Connecting to devices using PPP
The CCM appliance supports remote PPP access using an autoanswer modem that answers calls
and establishes the PPP protocol with a dial-in client. You may establish Telnet or SSH
connections over PPP.
PPP dial-in may be used to access a remote CCM appliance that does not warrant a WAN (Wide
Area Network) link to the Ethernet interface. The PPP dial-in may also be used to access a subnet
containing remote devices in the event of a WAN link failure. In this case, the PPP provides an
alternate path to one or more remote devices.
To use PPP, you must configure a modem in autoanswer mode on the console port; see Configuring
and using dial-in connections on page 14. Once the PPP connection is established, you must launch
an application that connects to the CCM appliance or to one of its ports. The PPP connection is
only a communications interface to the CCM appliance.
The CCM appliance implements a PPP server that uses CHAP (Challenge Authentication
Protocol). Passwords are not accepted in the clear on PPP connections.
To enable or disable a PPP server on the console port:
1. To enable a PPP server on the console port, issue a Server PPP command with the
Enable parameter.
SERVER PPP ENABLE LOCALIP=<local_ip> REMOTEIP=<rem_ip> [MASK=<subnet>]
You must specify local and remote IP addresses to be used for the CCM appliance and client
ends of the PPP connection respectively. You are prompted to confirm or cancel the changes.
Enter
Y to confirm or N to cancel.
2. To disable a PPP server, issue a Server PPP command with the Disable parameter.
SERVER PPP DISABLE
For more information, see Server PPP command on page 51.
Chapter 3: Operations 15
To display PPP configuration information:
Issue a Show Server PPP command.
SHOW SERVER PPP
For more information, see Show Server PPP command on page 62.
Connecting to devices using SSH
The CCM console management appliance supports version 2 of the SSH protocol (SSH2). The
CCM SSH server operates on the standard SSH port 22. The shell for this connection provides a
CLI prompt as if you had established a Telnet connection on port 23. The shell request for this
connection is for CLI access.
Additional CCM SSH servers operate on TCP ports that are numbered with values 100 greater than
the standard 30xx Telnet ports for the CCM appliance. For example, if port 7 is configured for
Telnet access on port 3007, then port 3107 will be a direct SSH connection for port 7. When SSH is
enabled, Telnet port 23 connections will be accepted from other clients if the Server Security
16 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
command includes the Encrypt=SSH,None parameter, which indicates that both SSH and plain text
connections will be allowed. Connecting to Telnet port 23 may also be tunneled through a
connection to SSH port 22.
SSH server keys
When SSH is enabled for the first time, all sessions are terminated and the CCM appliance
generates an SSH server key. The key generation process may take up to three minutes. The key is
computed at random and is stored in the CCM configuration database.
In most cases, the SSH server key should not be modified because most SSH clients will associate
the key with the IP address of the CCM appliance. During the first connection to a new SSH server,
the client will display the SSH server’s key. You will be prompted to indicate if it should be stored
on the SSH client. After the first connection, most SSH clients will validate the key when
connecting to the CCM appliance. This provides an extra layer of security because the SSH client
can verify the key sent by the server each time it connects.
When you disable SSH and later reenable it, you may either use the existing server key or compute
a new one. If you are reenabling the same server at the same IP address, it is recommended that you
use the existing key, as SSH clients may be using it for verification. If you are moving the CCM
appliance to another location and changing the IP address, you may wish to generate a new SSH
server key.
Authenticating an SSH user
SSH is enabled and disabled with the Server SSH command. When you enable SSH, you may
specify the authentication method(s) that will be used for SSH connections. The method may be a
password, an SSH key or both. A user’s password and SSH key are specified with a User Add or
User Set command. All SSH keys must be RSA keys. DSA keys are not supported.
Table 3.2 lists and describes the valid SSH authentication methods that may be specified with a
Server SSH command.
Table 3.2: SSH Authentication Methods
Method Description
SSH connections will be authenticated with a username/password. With this method,
PW (default)
KEY
a user’s definition must include a valid password in order for that user to authenticate
an SSH session.
SSH connections will be authenticated with an SSH key. With this method, a user’s
definition must include valid SSH key information in order for that user to
authenticate an SSH session. Key authentication is always local; RADIUS is not
supported. For more information, see SSH user keys on page 17.
Chapter 3: Operations 17
Table 3.2: SSH Authentication Methods (Continued)
Method Description
SSH connections will be authenticated with either a username/password or an SSH
key. If a user has only a password defined, that user must authenticate an SSH
session with a username/password. If a user has only an SSH key defined, that user
must authenticate an SSH session using the key. If a user has both a password and
PW|KEY or KEY|PW
PW&KEY or KEY&PW
an SSH key defined, that user may use either a username/password or the SSH key
to authenticate an SSH session. This method allows the administrator to define how
each user will authenticate an SSH session based on information provided in the
User Add/Set command.
PW authentication will be local or RADIUS as specified in the Auth parameter of the
Server Security command. Key authentication is always local.
SSH connections will be authenticated using both a username/password and an
SSH key. With this method, a user’s definition must include a password and SSH key
information for that user to authenticate an SSH session.
PW authentication will be local or RADIUS as specified in the Auth parameter of the
Server Security command. Key authentication is always local.
A user’s access rights are determined from the authentication method used. SSH key authentication
always uses the access rights from the local user database. Depending on the server authentication
mode specified with the Server Security command, SSH password authentication will use either the
access rights from the local user database or the values returned by the RADIUS server.
With either of the “or” methods (PW|KEY and KEY|PW), the user access rights are determined
from the method used to authenticate the user.
With either of the “and” methods (PW&KEY and KEY&PW), the user access rights are
determined from the first method specified. If PW&KEY is specified, the access rights from the
password authentication will be used. If KEY&PW is specified, the access rights from the key
authentication will be used.
For more information, see Using Authentication Methods on page 23.
SSH user keys
A user’s SSH key is specified in a User Add or User Set command. You may define a key even if
SSH is not currently enabled. The key may be specified in one of two ways:
• When using the SSHKEY and FTPIP keyword pair to define the network location of a user’s
SSH key file, the SSHKEY parameter specifies the name of the uuencoded (Unix to Unix
encoded) public key file on an FTP server. The maximum file size that can be received is 4K
bytes. The FTPIP parameter specifies the FTP server’s IP address.
When this method is specified, the CCM appliance initiates an FTP client request to the
specified IP address. The CCM appliance then prompts the user for an FTP username and
password for connection. When connected, the CCM appliance will GET the specified key file
and the FTP connection will be closed. The CCM appliance then stores the SSH key with the
username in the CCM user database.
18 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
• When using the KEY keyword to specify the SSH key, the KEY parameter specifies the actual
uuencoded SSH key. This is for configurations that do not implement an FTP server. The CCM
appliance stores the specified key in the CCM user database.
The CCM appliance processes a uuencoded SSH2 public key file with the format described in the
IETF document draft-ietf-secshpublickeyfile-02. The key must follow all format requirements. The
UNIX ssh-keygen2 generates this file format. The CCM appliance also processes a uuencoded
SSH1 public key file. The UNIX ssh-keygen generates this file format.
To enable SSH session access to the CCM appliance:
1. Issue a Show Server Security command to ensure that you are using an authentication method
other than None.
SHOW SERVER SECURITY
2. Issue a Server SSH command with the Enable parameter. You may also specify an authentication method.
SERVER SSH ENABLE AUTH=<auth>
If an authentication method is not specified, the previous authentication parameter will be
used. The default value is AUTH=PW.
3. If you are enabling SSH for the first time, you are advised that all other CCM appliance
sessions will be terminated. Enter
4. If you are reenabling SSH, you are prompted to use the existing SSH server key or generate a
new key. Enter
Y to use the existing key or N to generate a new key.
For more information, see Server SSH command on page 57.
Y to continue or N to cancel.
To disable SSH session access to the CCM appliance:
Issue a Server SSH command with the Disable parameter.
SERVER SSH DISABLE
When SSH is disabled, the CCM appliance operates in plain text mode.
To display SSH information:
Issue a Show Server Security command.
SHOW SERVER SECURITY
If SSH is enabled, the display will include SSH2. Regardless of whether SSH is enabled, the
display will indicate the authentication method that was specified with the Server SSH command.
Enabling plain text Telnet and SSH connections
Plain text (non-encrypted) Telnet connections are enabled by default.
If you enable SSH connections using the Server Security command and the Encrypt=SSH
parameter, plain text Telnet connections will be disabled. However, if you enable SSH connections
with the Server SSH command, both plain text and SSH connections will be allowed.
To enable both Telnet and SSH connections:
Issue a Server Security command, indicating Encrypt=SSH,None.
CLI mode
While you are connected to an attached serial device, you may enter Telnet CLI mode and enter
CCM appliance commands.
To enter or exit CLI mode when connected to a serial device:
Chapter 3: Operations 19
1. To enter CLI mode, type the CLI access character, which is
prompt (>), you may enter CCM commands.
2. To exit CLI mode and return to the session with the attached device, issue a Resume command.
RESUME
For more information, see Resume Command on page 48.
To change the CLI access character:
Issue a Server CLI command or a Port Set command, using the Char parameter to specify the CLI
access character.
SERVER CLI CHAR=^<char>
- or PORT SET CHAR=^<char>
If you issue a Port Set command with Char=None, then the CLI access character specified in the
Server CLI command will be used. You may use the Port Set command to override the Server CLI
access character on a per-port basis.
For more information, see Server CLI command on page 49 and Port Set command on page 45.
To display CLI access character information:
Issue a Show Server CLI command.
SHOW SERVER CLI
For more information, see Show Server CLI command on page 61.
Ending Device Sessions
Ctrl-D by default. At the CLI
To end your session:
Enter CLI mode and issue a Quit command.
QUIT
- or -
If you initiated the device session with a Connect command, enter CLI mode and issue a
Disconnect command.
20 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
DISCONNECT
- or -
Allow the port to time-out due to inactivity. In this case, a notification message is issued and the
serial CLI session returns to CLI mode. This time-out may occur while you are in CLI mode.
- or -
For modem connections, if a carrier drop occurs, the serial CLI session is automatically logged off.
For more information, see Quit Command on page 48 and Disconnect Command on page 41.
To end another user’s session:
Issue a User Logout command.
USER LOGOUT <username>
A message is sent and the Telnet or SSH connection is dropped.
For more information, see User Logout command on page 67. For information about preempting a
user’s session, see Connecting to devices using Telnet on page 12.
Session time-out
The CCM console management appliance monitors data traffic when you are connected to an
attached serial device. You may specify a time-out value with the Server CLI command. You may
also specify a time-out value for each port with the Port Set command. When no data is received
from the connected user for the configured number of minutes, the connection is terminated.
The following time-out values are used:
• For a Telnet session, the Server CLI time-out value is used.
• For a serial port session, if the port’s configured time-out value is zero, the Server CLI timeout value is used, even if it is also zero.
• For a serial port session, if the port’s configured time-out value is non-zero, that value is used.
Preemption
Depending on configured access levels, a user who is connecting to a port (the connecting user)
may disconnect another user of equal or lower access (the current user). For preemption purposes,
the hierarchy of access levels is APPLIANCEADMIN > ADMIN > user.
If the connecting user’s access level is lower than the current user’s access level, the connecting
user will receive an In Use message and the connection will be dropped.
If the connecting user’s access level is equal to or higher than the owning user’s access level, an In
Use by owning user message will be displayed. The connecting user may then choose to preempt the
current user’s session. If the current user’s session is preempted, an appropriate message is displayed.
For more information, see Access rights and levels on page 21.
Managing User Accounts
The CCM user database can store information for up to 64 user accounts.
Chapter 3: Operations 21
To add a user:
Issue a User Add command.
USER ADD <username> [PASSWORD=<pwd>] [SSHKEY=<keyfile>] [FTPIP=<ftpadd>]
[KEY=<sshkey>] [ACCESS=<access>]
You must specify a username. You must also specify a password or SSH user key information, or
you may specify both. You may also include an access level or access rights. For more information,
see Connecting to devices using SSH on page 15, Access rights and levels on page 21 and User Add
command on page 65.
To change a user’s configuration information:
Issue a User Set command.
USER SET <username> [PASSWORD=<pwd>] [SSHKEY=<keyfile>] [FTPIP=<ftpadd>]
[KEY=<sshkey>] [ACCESS=<access>]
You may change your own password at any time. You must have USER access rights to change
another user’s password or to change any user’s SSH user key information and access rights.
To remove an SSH user key or password, specify Key=“” or Password=“”. You cannot remove
both the password and the SSH key from a user’s definition; one must remain in the user database.
Also, you cannot remove a user’s key or password if that removal would result in no valid users
having USER access rights.
For more information, see Connecting to devices using SSH on page 15, Access rights and levels on
page 21 and User Set command on page 67.
To delete a user:
Issue a User Delete command.
USER DELETE <username>
If the specified user is currently logged in, a message is sent to the user indicating that access is no
longer permitted, and the user’s Telnet session is terminated. For more information, see User
Delete command on page 66.
To display user configuration information:
1. To display information about one user, issue a Show User command, specifying the username.
SHOW USER <username>
2. To display information about all users, issue a Show User command with the All parameter.
SHOW USER ALL
For more information, see Show User command on page 63.
Access rights and levels
Most CCM appliance commands require the user to have the appropriate permission to issue CCM
appliance commands. Permissions are expressed as access rights or access levels. The access rights
22 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
for each command are listed in Table 4.4 on page 36. Table 3.3 describes the access rights a user
may be given.
Table 3.3: Access Rights
Access Right Description
PCON
SCON
SMON
USER
BREAK
P
The Port Configuration access right allows the user to modify port settings. Grant PCON
access only to users who need to issue the Port Set command.
The Server Configuration access right allows the user to change the CCM configurations,
including setting the IP address and updating the program load in FLASH. Grant SCON
access only to users who need to administer the CCM appliance.
The Server Monitor access right allows the user to view CCM appliance status and
monitor serial port activity. Grant SMON access only to users who need to assist other
users in accessing attached serial devices.
The USER access right allows the user to modify the user database. Grant USER access
only to users who need to add users, change user specifications or delete users. At least
one user must have USER access rights; otherwise, the user database cannot be changed.
The BREAK access right allows the user to send a serial break sequence to the attached
serial device. On certain devices, this sequence has a special meaning. Grant BREAK
access only to users who need to use the Port Break command.
The Port access right gives a user access to one or more serial ports and the attached
serial devices. You may grant Port access rights to specific ports (Pn), a range of ports
(Px-y) or all ports (PALL).
Access levels
When you specify a user’s permissions, you may either indicate the individual rights as listed in
Table 3.3 or you may indicate a predefined access level. The APPLIANCEADMIN and ADMIN
levels are equivalent to the following individual specifications:
• The APPLIANCEADMIN level is equivalent to PALL, USER, SCON, SMON, PCON
and BREAK
• The ADMIN level is equivalent to PALL, USER, SMON, PCON and BREAK
The third level (not APPLIANCEADMIN or ADMIN) is user. For preemption purposes, the
following hierarchy is used: APPLIANCEADMIN > ADMIN > user.
A user’s access level may be used for preemption. For example, assume User A is connected to a
port. User B tries to connect to the same port. If User B has an access level equal to or greater than
User A’s access level, then User B will be given the option of preempting User A. For more
information, see Preemption on page 20.
To manage a user’s access rights/levels:
1. To configure a user’s access rights/level, issue a User Add command, using the Access parameter to specify the rights or a level.
USER ADD <username> ACCESS=<access>
2. To change a user’s access rights/level, issue a User Set command, using the Access parameter
to specify the rights or a level.
USER SET <username> ACCESS=<access>
3. To display the access rights and level for one or all users, issue a Show User command.
SHOW USER <username>|ALL
For more information, see Managing User Accounts on page 20 plus User Add command on
page 65, User Set command on page 67 and Show User command on page 63.
Using Authentication Methods
The CCM appliance supports several methods for authenticating users: local, RADIUS and none.
Multiple connection and authentication methods may operate concurrently. By default,
authentication is performed at the local CCM user database.
Local authentication
Local authentication uses the CCM appliance internal user database to authenticate users. You may
optionally specify both local and RADIUS authentication, in either order. In this case,
authentication will be attempted initially on the first method specified. If that fails, the second
method will be used for authentication.
Chapter 3: Operations 23
RADIUS authentication
RADIUS authentication uses an external third party RADIUS server containing a user database to
authenticate CCM appliance users. The CCM appliance, functioning as a RADIUS client, sends
usernames and passwords to the RADIUS server. If a username and password do not agree with
equivalent information on the RADIUS server, the CCM appliance is informed and the user is
denied CCM access. If the username and password are successfully validated on the RADIUS
server, the RADIUS server returns an attribute that indicates the access rights defined for
that username.
To use RADIUS authentication, you must specify information about the primary RADIUS server
and optionally, a secondary RADIUS server to be used as a backup.
The RADIUS server definition values specified in CCM appliance commands must match
corresponding values configured on the RADIUS server. On the RADIUS server, you must include
CCM appliance-specific information: the list of valid users and their access rights for the CCM
appliance. Each user-rights attribute in the RADIUS server’s dictionary must be specified as a
string containing the user’s access rights for the CCM appliance, exactly matching the syntax used
in the CCM User Add command.
Consult your RADIUS administrator’s manual for information about specifying users and their
attributes. The exact process depends on the RADIUS server you are using.
24 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
You may optionally specify both RADIUS and local authentication, in either order. In this case,
authentication will be attempted initially on the first method specified. If that fails, the second
method will be used for authentication.
No authentication
When authentication is disabled, users are not authenticated. Telnet sessions to serial ports are
accepted immediately, and users are not prompted for a username or password. In this case, users
are granted access only to the port to which they are connected, including Break access.
Connections to the Telnet port (23), serial CLI and PPP are still authenticated using the local CCM
user database, even when authentication is expressly disabled. Generally, these communications
paths are used only by administrators, and authentication is enforced in order to establish
appropriate access rights.
Authentication may not be disabled when SSH session access is enabled.
Authentication summary
Table 3.4 indicates how authentication is performed according to the authentication method
specified and the type of connection to the CCM appliance.
Table 3.4: Authentication Method Summary
Mode Connection Type and Authentication Action
Local All sessions are authenticated using the CCM user database.
RADIUS
Local,RADIUS
RADIUS,Local
None
Telnet and SSH sessions are authenticated using RADIUS. Serial CLI sessions are
authenticated using the CCM user database.
Telnet and SSH sessions are authenticated using the CCM user database. If that
fails, authentication uses RADIUS. Serial CLI sessions are authenticated using the
CCM user database.
Telnet and SSH sessions are authenticated using RADIUS. If that fails,
authentication uses the CCM user database. Serial CLI connections are
authenticated using the CCM user database.
Telnet to serial port sessions use no authentication. Telnet CLI and serial CLI
sessions are authenticated using the CCM user database. This authentication mode
cannot be used for SSH connections.
To specify the authentication method:
1. For RADIUS authentication, issue a Server RADIUS command.
SERVER RADIUS PRIMARY|SECONDARY IP=<radius_ip> SECRET=<secret> USERRIGHTS=<attr> [AUTHPORT=<udp>] [TIMEOUT=<time-out>] [RETRIES=<retry>]
You must specify the server’s IP address, the UDP port to be used and a “secret” to be used.
You must also specify a user-rights attribute value that matches a value in the RADIUS
server’s dictionary.
Chapter 3: Operations 25
You may also use this command to delete a RADIUS server definition.
SERVER RADIUS PRIMARY|SECONDARY DELETE
For more information, see Server RADIUS command on page 52.
2. Issue a Server Security command, using the Authentication parameter to specify the authentication method. Use the Encrypt parameter to enable plain text Telnet connections, SSH connections or both.
SERVER SECURITY AUTHENTICATION=<auth> ENCRYPT=<conns>
You may optionally specify both RADIUS and local authentication, in either order. In tis case,
authentication will be attempted initially on the first method specified. If that fails, the second
method will be used for authentication.
When SSH session access is enabled, you must specify an authentication method other
than None.
3. You are prompted to save the information. Enter
To display authentication configuration information:
1. Issue a Show Server Security command.
SHOW SERVER SECURITY
The display includes the current CCM appliance authentication settings that were configured
with the Server Security command. If SSH access has been enabled, the display indicates
SSH2. Regardless of whether SSH is enabled, the display includes the authentication method
specified with the Server SSH command.
2. To display CCM RADIUS settings that were configured with the Server RADIUS command,
issue a Show Server RADIUS command.
SHOW SERVER RADIUS
For more information, see Server Security command on page 53, Show Server Security command
on page 62, Show Server RADIUS command on page 62 and Connecting to devices using SSH on
page 15.
Y to confirm or N to cancel.
Using security lock-out
When the security lock-out feature is enabled, a user account will be locked-out after five
consecutive authentication failures. A successful authentication will reset the counter to zero. You
may configure a lock-out period of 1-99 hours. A lock-out period of zero disables the feature; that
is, user accounts will not be locked-out.
A locked account will remain locked until the specified time elapses, the CCM appliance is powercycled or the account is unlocked by an administrator with the User Unlock command. A user with
the ADMIN access level may unlock all users except a user with the APPLIANCEADMIN level. A
user with the APPLIANCEADMIN level may unlock all users.
26 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
To enable or disable security lock-out:
1. To enable security lock-out, issue a Server Security command, using the Lockout parameter
with a value between 1-99.
2. To disable security lock-out, issue a Server Security command, using the Lockout=0 parameter.
To unlock a locked-out user:
Issue a User Unlock command with the username.
Managing the Port History Buffer
Each CCM appliance serial port has a circular history buffer that contains the latest 64K bytes of
data received from the attached serial device. This information may be helpful in analyzing
attached device anomalies.
The history buffer begins filling with received data upon completion of CCM appliance
initialization, even if no user is connected. When you connect to a serial port, the data that was
received from the attached serial device prior to the connection is available in the buffer. Once
online, new data continues to be stored in the buffer. You may choose whether to display the
history buffer’s content automatically when you connect and whether to keep or discard the history
buffer’s content at the end of a session.
When more than 64K bytes of data are sent to the history buffer, data at the top of the buffer is
discarded to make room for the new data. As a result, the buffer always contains the most recent
64K bytes of port history.
Using port history mode commands
Once you are in port history mode, you may issue the commands listed in Table 3.5. Only the first
letter of the command is required.
Table 3.5: Port History Mode Commands
Command Description
Bottom B sets the view location to the bottom of the file minus 23 history display lines, if available.
Clear C clears the port history buffer.
Next
Prev
Quit Q returns to the normal CLI.
Resume
N increments the current history display line by the number of lines per page and outputs a new
history display page.
P decrements the current history display line by the number of lines per page and outputs a new
history display page.
R leaves port history mode and CLI mode and resumes the session with the attached serial
device. This single command is equivalent to sequentially using the Quit and Resume commands.

The following command searches the history buffer for the string Process, ignoring case.
PORT HISTORY> s -i Process
For more information, see Server CLI command on page 49 and Port History command on page 44.
To access port history mode:
Issue a Port History command.
PORT HISTORY
The PORT HISTORY > prompt appears.
To control the port history buffer display when you connect:
Issue a Server CLI command, using the History parameter to specify the Hold or Auto option:
SERVER CLI HISTORY=HOLD|AUTO
• If Hold is specified, the number of bytes in the history buffer is displayed, but none of the history data is output. In this case, you must access the CLI and use the Port History command to
view the port’s history buffer content. This is the default mode.
• If Auto is specified, the number of bytes in the history buffer is displayed and the entire content of the buffer is output to the Telnet session. In this mode, the history buffer’s content may
be reviewed in the Telnet client’s scrolling window. You may also use the Port History command to view the port’s history buffer content.
To control the port history buffer content when you end a session:
Issue a Server CLI command, using the History parameter to specify the Clear or Keep option:
28 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
SERVER CLI HISTORY=CLEAR|KEEP
• If Clear is specified, the port history buffer is cleared and all data is discarded at the end of
a session.
• If Keep is specified, the port history buffer’s content is retained at the end of a session.
To clear and discard all data in a port history buffer:
Issue a Clear command while you are in port history mode.
CLEAR
- or -
Issue a Server CLI command, indicating History=Clear.
SERVER CLI HISTORY=CLEAR
In this case, the port’s history buffer is cleared at the end of each device session.
Managing the CCM Appliance Using SNMP
The CCM console management appliance provides a set of commands that create and manage
SNMP structures for use by third party network management products. These commands cover the
following operations:
• Enabling and disabling SNMP UDP port 161 SNMP processing
• Defining read, write and trap community names
• Defining and deleting up to four SNMP management entity IP addresses
• Enabling and disabling SNMP traps
• Defining and deleting up to four trap destination IP addresses
• Defining, copying and deleting up to ten alert strings for each port
By default, SNMP is enabled but no traps are enabled and no trap destinations are defined.
To enable or disable SNMP processing:
1. To enable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the Enable parameter. This
is the default setting.
SERVER SNMP ENABLE
2. To disable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the Disable parameter.
SERVER SNMP DISABLE
For more information, see Server SNMP command on page 55.
To specify SNMP community names:
Issue a Server SNMP Community command, using the Readcomm, Writecomm and Trapcomm
parameters to specify community names.
Chapter 3: Operations 29
NOTE: The default community names are “public”; if you enable SNMP, you are encouraged to change the
community values to prevent access to the MIB.
SERVER SNMP COMMUNITY READCOMM=<name> WRITECOMM=<name>
TRAPCOMM=<name>
Although all three community names default to public, if you specify a trap community name with
this command, it must be different from the read and write community names.
For more information, see Server SNMP Community command on page 55.
To add or delete SNMP management entity addresses:
1. To add an SNMP management entity address, issue a Server SNMP Manager command with
the Add parameter and the management entity’s IP address. You may define up to four SNMP
management entity addresses, using separate commands.
SERVER SNMP MANAGER ADD <ip_address>
When you define at least one SNMP manager, SNMP requests are processed if they are from
one of the defined SNMP managers. If a request is not from one of the defined SNMP
managers, the SNMP request is discarded.
2. To delete an SNMP management entity address, issue a Server SNMP Manager command with
the Delete parameter and the management entity’s IP address.
SERVER SNMP MANAGER DELETE <ip_address>
If no management entities are defined, any SNMP manager may access the MIB. For more
information, see Server SNMP Manager command on page 56.
To enable or disable SNMP traps:
1. To enable SNMP traps, issue a Server SNMP Trap command with the Enable parameter.
SERVER SNMP TRAP ENABLE
The CCM appliance will display a numbered list of traps that are currently disabled with a
prompt requesting you to select trap(s) to enable. Indicate the traps to be enabled by entering a
trap’s list number, several numbers separated by commas, a range of numbers separated by a
dash or a combination of numbers with commas and dashes. To enable all traps, type
cancel the command, press
Enter.
ALL. To
- or To enable all SNMP traps, issue a Server SNMP Trap command with the Enable and All
parameters. In this case, the numbered list is not displayed.

2. To disable SNMP traps, issue a Server SNMP Trap command with the Disable parameter.
SERVER SNMP TRAP DISABLE
The CCM appliance will display a numbered list of traps that are currently enabled with a
prompt requesting you to select trap(s) to disable. Indicate the traps to be disabled by entering
a trap’s list number, several numbers separated by commas, a range of numbers separated by a
30 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
dash or a combination of numbers with commas and dashes. To disable all traps, type ALL. To
cancel the command, press
- or To disable all SNMP traps, issue a Server SNMP Trap command with the Disable and All
parameters. In this case, the numbered list is not displayed.
SERVER SNMP TRAP DISABLE ALL
For more information, see Server SNMP Trap command on page 56 and Supported Traps on
page 78.
To add or delete SNMP trap destination addresses:
1. To add an SNMP trap destination address, issue a Server SNMP Trap Destination command
with the Add parameter and the destination’s IP address. You may define up to four destination
addresses, using separate commands.
SERVER SNMP TRAP DESTINATION ADD <ip_address>
2. To delete an SNMP trap destination address, issue a Server SNMP Trap Destination command
with the Delete parameter and the destination’s IP address.
SERVER SNMP TRAP DESTINATION DELETE <ip_address>
For more information, see Server SNMP Trap Destination command on page 57.
To add, copy or delete port alert strings:
Enter.
1. To add a port alert string, issue a Port Alert Add command, specifying the port number and a 332 character string. You may define up to ten strings for each port, using separate commands.
The alert string will only generate a trap if the PortAlert trap is enabled with a Server SNMP
Trap command.
PORT <port> ALERT ADD “<string>”
2. To delete a port alert string, issue a Port Alert Delete command, specifying a port number.
PORT <port> ALERT DELETE
The CCM appliance displays a numbered list of alert strings that have been defined for the
specified port with a prompt requesting you to select alert string(s) to delete. Indicate the alert
strings to be deleted by entering an alert string’s list number, several numbers separated by
commas, a range of numbers separated by a dash or a combination of numbers with commas
and dashes. To delete all alert strings, type
ALL. To cancel the command, press Enter.
3. To copy the defined alert strings from one port to another port, issue a Port Alert Copy command, specifying the port numbers to be copied to and from.
PORT <to_port> ALERT COPY <from_port>
At the confirmation prompt, press
Y to confirm or N to cancel. When the copy operation
occurs, all previously defined strings on the port being copied to will be replaced.
For more information, see Port Alert Add command on page 43, Port Alert Copy command on
page 43 and Port Alert Delete command on page 44.
Chapter 3: Operations 31

Accessing the CLI
You may access the CLI in three ways: using the Telnet CLI, using the console port or entering the
CLI access character during a session to a serial device. When the CLI is accessed, its prompt
appears (>), indicating you may type a command.
Entering Commands
At the command prompt, type a command and then press Return or Enter. When the key is
pressed, the command line comprises all characters to the left of the cursor. The character at the
cursor and any characters to the right of the cursor are ignored. Table 4.1 lists the line editing
operations for VT100 compatible devices.
33
Table 4.1: Line Editing Operations for VT100 Compatible Devices
Operation Action
Backspace
Left Arrow
Right Arrow
Up Arrow
Down Arrow
Delete
The character immediately before the cursor is erased and all text at and to the right of the
cursor moves one character to the left.
If the cursor is not at the beginning of the line, the cursor moves one character to the left. If the
cursor is at the beginning of the line, no action is taken.
If the cursor is not at the end of the line, the cursor moves one character to the right. If the
cursor is at the end of the line, no action is taken.
The CLI maintains a buffer containing the last 16 typed command lines. If there is a previous
command line, it will be output as the current command line and may be edited. If there is no
previous command line in the command line buffer, the command line is set to blanks and you
may enter a new command.
The next command in the CLI command line buffer is made available for edit. If there is no
next command line, the command line is set to blanks and you may enter a new command.
The character at the cursor position is deleted and all characters to the right of the cursor
position are moved left one character.
34 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
Table 4.2 lists the line editing operations for ASCII TTY devices. There is no command line buffer
available on an ASCII TTY device.
Table 4.2: Line Editing Operations for ASCII TTY Devices
Operation Action
Backspace Erases the last character typed.
Esc Erases the current command line.
When commands take effect
Each command is completely processed before the next command may be entered. Some
commands prompt for confirmation before they are processed. In these cases, you must confirm or
cancel by entering
Y or N respectively.
If you enter a Server FLASH command or if you change the CCM appliance IP address with a Server
Set command, a reboot is required before the change becomes effective. In these cases, the CCM
database is updated when you enter the command and you are prompted that the change will not take
effect until the CCM appliance reboots. You may choose to reboot at that time, or you may decline.
When the unit reboots, your session and all other sessions on the CCM appliance are terminated.
Understanding Conventions
This section describes the parts of a CCM appliance command and the conventions used in this
document to describe a command’s syntax.
Command syntax
A command may have four types of syntax: positional commands, positional parameters, keyword
parameters and keyword values. The following examples demonstrate the syntax types.
The following Set Port command changes the baud rate and flow control settings for port 2.
> PORT 2 SET BAUD=57600 FLOW=XONXOF
Table 4.3: Command Syntax Types in Example Command
Value Syntax
PORT Positional command.
2 Positional parameter that indicates the port number for the command.
SET Positional command that indicates port settings are to be changed.
BAUD Keyword parameter, which is always followed by an equal (=) sign.
57600 Keyword value indicating the baud rate value for the BAUD keyword parameter.
FLOW Keyword parameter, which is always followed by an equal (=) sign.
Chapter 4: Using CCM Appliance Commands 35
Table 4.3: Command Syntax Types in Example Command (Continued)
Value Syntax
XONXOF Keyword value.
Not every command will contain all syntax types. For example, the following command reboots the
CCM appliance.
>SERVER REBOOT
In this case, both SERVER and REBOOT are positional commands.
In most cases, one or more spaces separate positional commands, positional parameters and
keyword parameters.
For most positional commands, positional parameters or keyword parameters, you only need to
enter the first three characters. The exceptions are:
• When you specify a terminal type with the Type parameter in the Server CLI command, you
must enter all characters.
• When you specify an authentication method with the Auth parameter in the Server SSH command, you must enter all characters.
• When you specify control signal monitoring with the Power parameter in the Port Set command, you must enter all characters.
• When you specify the console port in commands such as Port Set and Show Port, you must
enter the capitalized abbreviation
CON.
With the exception of usernames and passwords, commands are not case sensitive; they may be
entered in uppercase, lowercase or a combination. For example, all of the following commands
are correct.
> PORT 2 SET BAUD=57600 FLOW=XON
> POR 2 SET BAU=57600 FLOW=XON
> por 2 Set Baud=57600 flow=xon
> port 2 set baud=57600 flow=xon
NOTE: Usernames and passwords are case sensitive. These values are stored exactly as you enter them. For
example, the username “Ann” must be entered with an uppercase “A” and all other letters lowercase. The
username “ANN” will not be accepted as the username “Ann.” Usernames and passwords must contain 3-16
alphanumeric characters.
Any syntax errors are displayed, and where applicable, the error is underlined.
In the following example, the keyword parameter “baud” is misspelled. Even if more than three
characters are entered, they must all be correct.
> port 2 Set Baux=57600 flow=xon
---ERR 26 - SET keyword parameter invalid
36 CCM4850 Installer/User Guide
In the following example, the keyword value “576” is not valid. Numeric keyword values must be
fully specified and may not be shortened to three characters.
> POR 2 SET BAUD=576 FLOW=XON
--ERR 27 - SET keyword value invalid
In the following example, there are spaces between BAUD, the equal sign and the value 57600.
Spaces are not permitted between keyword parameters and their values.
> POR 2 SET BAUD = 57600 FLOW=XON
-----------ERR 26 - SET keyword parameter invalid
Syntax conventions
This manual uses the following command syntax conventions:
• Brackets [ ] surround optional keywords and values.
• Angle brackets < > surround user-supplied positional parameters and keyword parameter values.
• In most cases, choices are separated by a vertical bar |. The description indicates if you may
specify more than one of the choices and how to separate multiple values. The exception is the
Server SSH command. In this case, the vertical bar is specified on the command line when you
wish to enable the “password or key” method (PW|KEY) or the “key or password”
method (KEY|PW).

access rights.
User Delete command
The User Delete command removes a username entry from the CCM user database. The username
may no longer be used to authenticate a session with the CCM appliance. If the specified user is
currently logged in, a message is output to the user, indicating that access is no longer permitted,
and the Telnet session is terminated.
Access right: USER
Access level: ADMIN or APPLIANCEADMIN
Syntax
USER DEL <username>
Table 5.34: User Delete Command Parameter
Parameter Description
<username> Username to be deleted.
User Logout command
The User Logout command terminates a user’s active sessions on the CCM appliance. If the
specified user has no active sessions, an error message is displayed. For all active sessions that are
terminated, a message is sent to the Telnet client and the Telnet connection is dropped.
Access right: USER
Access level: ADMIN (may log out all except APPLIANCEADMIN) or APPLIANCEADMIN
Syntax
USER LOGOUT <username>
Table 5.35: User Logout Command Parameter
Parameter Description
<username> Username to be logged out.
User Set command
The User Set command changes a user’s configuration in the user database. For more information,
see Managing User Accounts on page 20 and Access rights and levels on page 21.
You may delete a user’s password or key; however, each user must have a password or a key, so
you cannot remove both. Also, you cannot remove a user’s password or key if that action would
result in no users having USER access rights.
Access right: none to change your own password, USER to change anything else;
Access level: none to change your own password, ADMIN or APPLIANCEADMIN to change
anything else
Syntax
USER SET <username> [PASSWORD=<pwd>] [SSHKEY=<keyfile>] [FTPIP=<ftpadd>]
[KEY=<sshkey>] [ACCESS=<access>]

Table 5.36: User Set Command Parameters (Continued)
Parameter Description
KEY=<sshkey>
ACCESS=<access>
Uuencoded SSH key. To delete an SSH key (whether it was originally specified with
the SSHKEY and FTPIP parameters or with the KEY parameter), specify Key=“”.
Command and port access rights or level. You may specify multiple access rights,
separated by commas, or a level. If specifying access rights, you may use one of
three forms:
ACCESS=<access> to specify all access rights.
ACCESS=+<access> to specify only access rights to be added.
ACCESS=–<access> to specify only access rights to be deleted.
Valid values for access rights are:
P<n> Access to the specified port number.
P<x-y> Access to the specified range of ports.
PALL Access to all ports.
USER User configuration access rights.
PCON Port configuration access rights.
SCON Configuration access rights.
SMON Monitor access rights.
BREAK Can issue Port Break command.
Valid values for access levels are:
ADMIN PALL, USER, SMON, PCON and BREAK access rights.
APPLIANCEADMIN PALL, USER, SCON, SMON, PCON and BREAK
access rights.
Default = PALL,SMON
Examples
The following command sets the access rights for JohnDoe, enabling access to all ports with
configuration and monitoring access rights.
>user set JohnDoe access=pall,scon,smon
The following command removes the server configuration access right for JohnDoe, and leaves
other access rights intact.
> user set JohnDoe access=-SCON
The following command deletes the SSH key information for JohnDoe. The command will
complete successfully only if JohnDoe has a password configured in a previous User Add or User
Set command, and if there are other users with User access rights.
> user set key=“”
User Unlock command
The User Unlock command unlocks a user who was previously locked-out. After this command
completes, the user will be able to attempt login authentication again.
