Two configuration methods are available for your NetVanta unit:

Web-based graphical user interface (GUI)

ADTRAN Operating System (AOS) command line interface (CLI)

The GUI lets you configure the main unit settings and provides online guidance and explanations 
for each setting. However, using the AOS CLI may be necessary for more advanced 
configurations.

THE

 GUI

You can access the GUI from any Web browser on your network by following these steps:
1.

Connect the unit to your PC using any of the ports on the front of the unit and an Ethernet 
cable.

2.

Set your PC to a fixed IP address of 

10.10.10.2

. To change your PC IP address, navigate to 

Computer

 > 

Control Panel 

Network Connections

 > 

Local Area Connection

 > 

Properties

 > 

IP (TCP/IP)

 and select 

Use this IP Address

. Enter these parameters:

IP Address: 

10.10.10.2

Subnet Mask: 

255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 

10.10.10.1

You do not need to enter any domain naming system (DNS) server information. After the 
information is entered, select 

Ok

 twice, and close the 

Network Connections

 dialog box.

 

If 

you cannot change the PC’s IP address, you will need to change the unit’s IP address using 
the CLI. (Refer to the next two sections for instructions.)

3.

Open a Web browser and enter the unit’s IP address in your browser address line as follows: 

http://10.10.10.1

. The default IP address is 

10.10.10.1

, but if you had to change the unit’s IP 

address using the CLI, enter that address in the browser line.

4.

You will then be prompted for the user name and password (the default settings are 

admin

 

and 

password

).

5.

The initial GUI screen appears. You can access initial setup information by selecting Setup 
Wizard from the menu on the left.

THE

 CLI

Access the AOS CLI via the 

CONSOLE

 port or a Telnet session. To establish a connection to the 

NetVanta unit 

CONSOLE

 port, you need the following items:

PC with VT100 terminal emulation software

Straight-through serial cable with a DB-9 (male) connector on one end and the appropriate 
interface for your terminal or PC communication port on the other end

You can find VT100 terminal emulation software on most PCs by 

navigating to 

Start

 > 

Programs

 > 

Accessories 

Communications

 > 

HyperTerminal 

HyperTerminal

. When you have opened a 

HyperTerminal session, enter the settings described in Step 4.

The applications you will need to configure vary by product and by network. Review the list of 
defaults for your unit before deciding what applications to configure. The following are some 
common applications that should be configured on startup. These are all available online on 

ADTRAN’s Knowledge Base

.

EFAULTS

On units that have a console port, you cannot restore the factory defaults, but must rather erase 
the device’s configuration and then reconfigure the unit to operate correctly for your network. To 
erase the unit’s current configuration, follow these steps:
1.

Access the unit’s CLI and enter 

enable

 at the 

>

 prompt.

2.

Enter 

erase startup-config

 at the 

#

 prompt. The device will have a blank configuration upon 

reboot.

3.

Enter 

reload

 at the 

#

 prompt to begin restarting the device. When prompted to save 

configuration, enter 

no

. When prompted to reboot, enter 

yes

.

4.

Upon reboot you will have to reconfigure the unit using the 

CONSOLE

 port. Follow the steps 

outlined here or in the technical note,
