Command Line Interface

How to log on

Users can log on to the command line interface through either console network access (Telnet or SSH)
or local access (Serial port).
1. Network access to the command line interface
When user logs in with the admin username and admin password through Telnet or SSH, there are two
types of interfaces available. One is the command line interface (CLI) and the second is a menu
interface. The default is CLI. If the user wants to change to the menu interface, type in the [menumode]
command. To switch back to CLI, it is necessary to logout and login to the RMCARD.
How to use telnet access command line interface
Step 1: Need to make sure the computer has access to the RMCARD installed network. At a command
prompt, type telnet and the IP address for the RMCARD (for example, telnet 139.225.6.133,
when the RMCARD uses the default Telnet port of 23), and press Enter.
Step 2: Enter the user name and password (by default, user name: cyber, password: cyber)
How to use SSH access command line interface
SSH is highly recommended for using to access the command line interface. SSH encrypts user
names, passwords, and transmitted data. To use SSH you must first configure SSH and install an SSH
client program (eg. PuTTY, HyperTerminal, or Tera Term) on your computer.
Note: If using PuTTY to configure SSH access, please configure Line discipline of Terminal to “Force
off”, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. The PuTTY Configuration window.

35
CyberPower Remote Management System

2. Local access to the command line interface


To log on via serial connection, the PC/server must be connected directly to the Universal port of the
RMCARD using the included RJ45/DB9 Serial Port Connection Cable, and perform the following steps.
Step 1. Open Hyper Terminal software (eg. PuTTY, HyperTerminal, or Tera Term) on your PC and select
a name and icon for the connection.
Step 2. Setup the COM port settings using the following values
*Bits per second: 9600
*Data bits: 8
*Parity: None
*Stop bits: 1
*Flow control: None
Step 3. Press Enter to enter the Authentication menu.
Step 4. Enter the user name and password of the RMCARD at the Authentication menu.
Note: Serial connection can only access Command Line Mode and cannot support Menu Mode.

How to use the Command Line Interface


While using the command line interface, you can also do the following:
1. To close the connection to the command line interface  Type “exit” and press Enter
2. To switch mode as Menu Mode  Type “menumode” and press Enter
3. To view a list of available commands or arguments  Type “?” (Eg. date ?).
4. To view the command that was typed most recently in the session  Press the UP/DOWN arrow
key. (The session can remember up to ten previous commands.)
5. A command can support multiple options  To define the date as March 21, 2015 (Eg. date yyyy
2015 mm 3 dd 21)

Appendix 1: IP Address Identification for CyberPower Remote


Management Card

Overview

All devices on a computer network need to have an IP address. Each device’s IP address is unique. The
same address cannot be used twice. In order to assign an IP address to the CyberPower Remote
Management Card, you must determine the range of the available IP addresses, and then choose an
unused IP address to assign to the Remote Management Card.

Note: You may need to contact your network administrator to obtain an available IP address.

Procedures to find an IP address:


1. Locate the subnet of the CyberPower Remote Management Card.
One way to determine the range of possible IP addresses is to view the network configuration on a
workstation. Click on [Start] and select [Run]. Type “command” into the open box and click [OK]. At
the command prompt type “ipconfig /all” and press [Enter]. The computer will display network
information as listed below:
Ethernet adapter
Connection-specific DNS Suffix………: xxxx.com
Description……………………...: D-Link DE220 ISA PnP LAN adapter
Physical Address………………: 00-80-C8-DA-7A-C0
DHCP Enabled………………….…: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled…: Yes
IP Address………………….……: 192.168.20.102
Subnet Mask…………………...…: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway……………..…: 192.168.20.1
DHCP Server…………………...…: 192.168.20.1
DNS Servers…………………...…: 211.20.71.202
168.95.1.1

62
CyberPower Remote Management System

2. Select an IP Address for the CyberPower Remote Management Card


Verify the IP Addresses for the computer and the Remote Management Card belong to the same subnet.
Refer to the above network information, the possible IP Address for the Remote Management Card
