Installing the pass-thru module 11
Accessing the pass-thru module CLI locally
1. Using a null-modem mini-USB to DB-9 RS232 serial cable (not included), connect the pass-thru
module management port to a local client device (such as a laptop computer).
2. Open a terminal emulation session and set the following parameters:
Parameter Value
Baud rate 9600
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
Production mode CLI
The CLI provides backward and forward cursor control, backward deletion capability, and a 16-line
history buffer. There is no tab "auto-completion" feature, but if there is enough information to determine
the command to be used, the interface will accept part of the CLI command. For example, entering sys is
enough to enter the system menu.

Notes:
• The port/auto command uses the following format: "/port/auto <uplink|downlink> <port #>
<on/off>". The port number can be a sequence of numbers (e.g., "1 3 5 15") or, if all ports are to
be configured, the "*" option can be used (for example, "/port/auto uplink * off" disables auto-
negotiation on all uplink ports).
• The port/info command displays link configuration and status.
