Configuration Methods

The devices can be configured as follows:
• connected directly locally or
• remotely via the IP network
The devices support the following configuration methods:
• Configuration via Telnet
• Configuration via SSH
• Configuration via Web interface
• Configuration via SNMP
• Configuration via TFTP
• Configuration via Configuration Stick
2.1.1

Configuration via the Serial Interface

EDS500 series devices can be configured via the serial interface console0 or (if available)
console1 if these are in operation mode "configuration".
With a configuration cable (500CAB03, 1KGT038909) the device can be connected to the
serial interface of a PC. For the pin assignment and pins of the configuration cable refer to
EDS500 Manual - Part 1: Serial Interfaces (Con0 - Con1).
Ready-made cables to connect to a 9-pin Sub-D-plug are available at ABB.
For operation of the command console (command line interface, CLI) use a common terminal
program (e.g. Tera Term, PuTTY, HyperTerminal).
The default value for the serial interface is: 57600 Baud 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit),
no flow control.
With the help of the terminal program you can enter commands as alpha-numeric commands
that are executed after pressing "Enter". For operating the command line interface (CLI) refer
to Chapter 2.2, "Handling of the Command Line Interface (CLI)"
If a login password has been set for user authentication (Chapter 2.3, "User Authentication"),
then this has to be entered when asked to do so before access to the management console is
activated.
The RADIUS user authentication is not used when configuring via the serial interface.
To keep the display of special characters uniform, we recommend to set the code page of
the terminal program to that of the browser (code page ISO-8859-15, Latin-9).
2.1.2

Configuration via the IP Network

All further, in the following described configuration methods require an IP connection to the
EDS500 device. After installation a device usually has one or more IP addresses that can be
reached via the network. By default all devices have the following settings:
1KGT151021 V000 1
