1.

Connect the DB-9 (male) connector of your serial cable to the 

CONSOLE

 port located on 

either the front or the rear panel depending on the unit.

2.

Connect the other end of the serial cable to the terminal or PC.

3.

Provide power to the unit as appropriate. Refer to the 

NetVanta 1500 Series Hardware 

Installation Guide

 (ADTRAN’s Knowledge Base article 3405) at 

http://kb.adtran.com

 for 

more details.

4.

Once the unit is powered up, open a VT100 terminal session using the following settings: 
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Press 

<Enter>

 to 

activate the AOS CLI.

5.

Enter 

enable

 at the 

>

 prompt and enter the Enable mode password when prompted. The 

default password is 

password

.

You can also access the CLI from a Telnet client. In order to do this, you must know the IP 
address of the AOS device. If you do not know the unit’s IP address, you must use the 

CONSOLE

 

port to access the CLI. To access the CLI using a Telnet client, follow 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.

Open a Telnet client on your computer. You can access the Telnet client by navigating to 

Start

 > 

Run

 and entering 

telnet 10.10.10.1

 (Windows® XP). If you are running Windows 

Vista, you will need to turn on the Telnet client before you access it. To do this, navigate to 

Start

 > 

Control Panel

 > 

Programs and Features

 > 

Turn Windows features on or off

 > 

Telnet Client Option

 and select 

OK

10.10.10.1

 is the default unit IP address. If you have 

changed your unit’s IP address, you will need to enter that address.

3.

Enter 

enable 

at the 

>

 prompt and enter the enable password when prompted. The default 

password is 

password

.

The following are common CLI commands and tips for getting started with the CLI.

Entering a question mark (?) shows contextual help and options. For example, entering 

?

 at 

the prompt will show all commands available from that prompt.

To view interface statistics, enter 

show interface 

<interface type> <interface number>

.

To view the current configuration, enter 

show running-config

.

To view all the IP addresses currently configured, enter 

show ip interface brief

.

To view the AOS version, serial number, and other information, enter 

show version

.

To save the current configuration, enter 

write

.

Many PCs do not come with a standard serial port. A universal serial 

bus (USB) to serial adapter can be used instead. The drivers for the USB 

to serial adapter must be installed according to the manufacturer’s 

instructions. If the USB to serial adapter is not properly installed on your 

PC, you will not be able to communicate with the AOS unit and you 

should seek support from the USB to serial adapter manufacturer.

The NetVanta 1544P (P/N 1702545G1) is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch. PoE switches 
provide the ability to detect attached powered devices (PDs) and deliver 48 VDC to the PD via 
existing Ethernet cabling. The NetVanta 1544P is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af PoE and 
IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standards. By default, the PoE switches discover and provide power to 
IEEE-compliant PDs. 
To disable power detection and supply, use the 

power inline never 

command in the CLI. To 

disable power detection and supply from the GUI, select the 

Ports

 page. Then select a single port 

from the list (e.g., 

giga-swx 0/1

). This will bring up the port detail page for 

giga-swx 0/1

. On this 

page, there is a check box to enable power detection.

The following steps create an IP address and subnet mask for the virtual local area network 
(VLAN) interface 

vlan 1

. If you are not sure what IP address to assign, please contact your 

network administrator.
1.

At the

 #

 prompt, enter 

config terminal

.

2.

At the 

(config)#

 prompt, enter 

interface vlan 1

 to access the configuration parameters for 

the VLAN interface.

3.

Enter 

ip address 10.26.12.12 255.255.255.0 

to assign an IP address to the VLAN interface 

using a 24-bit subnet mask.

4.

Enter 

no shutdown

 to activate the VLAN interface to pass data.

5.

Enter 

exit

 to return to the Global Configuration mode.

6.

Enter 

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254

 to add a default route to the route table. 

0.0.0.0

 

is the default route and the default subnet mask, and 

192.168.1.254

 is the next-hop IP 

address to which the AOS unit should send all of its traffic. You will need to enter the proper 
route, subnet mask, and gateway for your network. This information is typically provided by 
an Internet service provider (ISP) or local network administrator.
