Elite Gateway*
Using The Command Line Interface (CLI)

The Elite Gateway* has a built-in command line interpreter and provides users with a Command Line Interface (CLI). The Elite Gateway can be configured by entering commands from the CLI.

The CLI can be accessed from a VT-100 terminal or terminal emulator connected to the RS-232 port on the front panel or through a Telnet session.

Connection through Serial Port
The serial port of the Elite Gateway is fixed at the following settings:

Baud rate 19,200
Number of data bit 8
Parity check None
Number of stop bit 1
Flow control None
To access the Elite Gateway through the RS-232 serial port, follow these steps:
  1. Insert one end of the serial cable that came with the Elite Gateway into the 9-pin RS-232 port (labeled User Console) on the front panel.

  2. Insert the other end of the cable into your terminal's serial port.

  3. Configure the terminal so that settings for baud rate, number of data bit, parity check, number of stop bit and flow control capability exactly match Elite Gateway's serial interface. (Refer to your terminal documentation for more information about setting up these features).

  4. Press <Return> from the terminal.

  5. The Elite Gateway displays the following prompts on the terminal and you are ready to access the CLI.

Connection through Telnet
To use Telnet, the IP address must have been previously set using the net set ip command for the Elite Gateway. Up to two sessions through Telnet are possible. See the Command Line Interface - Network Commands document for procedures for assigning IP address, default gateway and subnet mask.

To access the Elite Gateway from a remote host with Telnet, perform the following tasks:

Task Prompt Type
From the remote host, enter the telnet command followed by the IP address of the Elite Gateway you want to access. None telnet ip_addr
When the Elite Gateway prompts "Login:", enter the user name "adm" Login: Adm
When the Elite Gateway prompts "Password:", enter the password. The default password is "123" unless a password was previously established using the net set user_pw command (Refer to the section describing net set user_pw command later in this chapter for details about the setting password). Password: 123
After successfully entering the password, the Elite Gateway displays a greeting message along with the following prompts. The CLI commands are then ready to be accessed.

Command Help
Help for commands is provided by the CLI. Type help to see a listing of the top-level commands. In most cases, if a command is entered using the wrong number of arguments or inappropriate arguments, the CLI will give further usage.

Designating IP Address
Some commands require an IP address, which must be designated in a standard format. The IP address format is 32 bits, written as four octets separated by periods (dotted decimal format) that are made up of a network section, an optional subnet section, and a host section, as shown in the following example:

192.168.0.1

Designating Port Number
Some commands require a telephony port number. The Elite Gateway designates the first port on telephone interface module (TIM) slot A as port number 0, the 2nd port as port number 1 and so on. When a TIM is installed in slot B, the first port is designated as port number 4, the 2nd one is designated as port number 5 and so on.

Note: If you have only a single TIM, be certain to install it in slot A, otherwise, the Elite Gateway won't function.
