CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
Extensive command set  
The CCM appliance offers a wide range of commands that allow administrators to easily configure,  
control and display information about the CCM appliance operating environment, including its  
ports, user accounts and active sessions. The serial CLI is always available on the unit’s console  
port, and may be easily accessed during a session with an attached serial device.  
The user interface also offers descriptive error message data and built-in command help  
information. On-board Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) support allows administrators to  
upload new functionality to CCM appliances in the field.  
Port history  
Each CCM port has a buffer that holds the most recent 64K bytes of online and offline serial data.  
A separate history command mode lets you navigate within a port’s current history file and conduct  
tailored searches.  
Safety Precautions  
To avoid potential device problems, if the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that a computer  
and its monitor (if used) are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit.  
To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to equipment, please observe the  
following precautions:  
Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Equinox product configuration.  
Test AC outlets at the computer and monitor (if used) for proper polarity and grounding.  
Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When using a backup Unin-  
terruptible Power Supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor and the CCM appliance off  
the supply.  
Rack mount safety considerations  
Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operation tempera-  
ture of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Use care not to exceed the  
rated maximum ambient temperature of the unit.  
Reduced Airflow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air-  
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.  
Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous  
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.  
Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the  
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection  
and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings for maximum current.  
Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Pay  
particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit  
(for example, use of power strips).

3. Attach a 10BaseT, 100BaseT or 1000BaseT LAN interface cable to the LAN PORT connector  
on the back of the CCM appliance. A CAT 5 cable is required for 100BaseT operation. A CAT  
6 cable is required for 1000BaseT operation.  
4. Insert the power cord into the back of the unit. Insert the other end of the power cord into a  
grounded electrical receptacle. Toggle the power switch on the back of the unit to the  
on position ( | ).  
5. Check that the POWER LED on the front of the unit is illuminated. If not, check the power  
cable to ensure that it is inserted snugly into the back of the unit. The ONLINE LED will illu-  
minate within two to three minutes to indicate that the self-test is complete. If the ONLINE  
LED blinks, contact Equinox Technical Support for assistance.  
6. Check that the LAN port LEDs indicate that a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps link exists. If not, check  
the Ethernet cable to ensure that both ends are correctly inserted into their jacks. If the unit is  
connected to a 100 MB Ethernet hub, the 100MBps LED will also be illuminated.  
7. Once the POWER and ONLINE LEDs and a valid LAN LED link sequence are illuminated,  
proceed with the configuration process (if you will be using BootP, remove power from the  
CCM appliance).  
Configuring the CCM Appliance  
To configure the CCM appliance, you must specify a unique IP address, plus other network address  
information. This information will be stored in the CCM configuration database. During initial  
login, you will specify a password for the Admin user.  
Configuring the network address settings  
You may configure the CCM appliance network address settings using AVWorks software, BootP  
or the serial CLI on the console port.  
To configure the network address settings using AVWorks software:  
Using the AVWorks New Appliance Wizard is the easiest method to configure the CCM appliance  
network address settings. See the AVWorks Installer/User Guide for instructions. After the  
network address settings are configured, see Initial CCM appliance login on page 9.  
To configure the network address settings using BootP:  
1. Ensure that there is a BootP server on your network that is configured to correctly respond to a  
BootP request from the CCM appliance. BootP servers require the Ethernet MAC address of  
network devices. The Ethernet MAC address is located on the back of the unit. See your BootP  
server’s system administrator guide for information about configuring the BootP server.  
2. After you have configured your network’s BootP server with the CCM appliance Ethernet  
MAC address, IP address, subnet mask and gateway, restore power to the CCM appliance and  
wait for the ONLINE LED to illuminate. Once this occurs, the CCM appliance has completed  
the BootP protocol, obtained its network address information and stored these in FLASH.

CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
3. You may verify that the BootP process was successful with a ping command, which tests net-  
work connectivity. The ping command is entered as:  
ping <ip_address>  
For example, the following command tests the network connectivity of a CCM appliance with  
the IP address 192.168.0.5.  
ping 192.168.0.5  
4. If the CCM appliance completes the BootP successfully, you will see a display similar to  
the following.  
Pinging 192.168.0.5 with 32 bytes of data:  
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128  
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128  
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128  
Reply from 192.168.0.5: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128  
If the CCM appliance did not successfully obtain its IP address with the BootP protocol, you  
will see a display similar to the following.  
Pinging 192.168.0.5 with 32 bytes of data  
Request timed out.  
Request timed out.  
Request timed out.  
Request timed out.  
In this case, check the address information provided to the BootP server to confirm they are  
correct. Verify that the Ethernet LAN adaptor cable is correctly installed on the CCM  
appliance and the Ethernet hub.  
After the network address settings are configured successfully, launch a Telnet session to the  
assigned IP address. Then, see Initial CCM appliance login on page 9.  
To configure the CCM appliance using the serial CLI:  
1. Attach a compatible device to the console port. The compatible device types are: ASCII,  
VT52, VT100, VT102, VT220 and VT320.  
For cable and adaptor information, see Device Cabling on page 73. You may use any terminal  
emulation program that is available on your system.

CCM configuration is required.  
2. Once authentication completes, the CCM appliance prompts for any missing configuration val-  
ues that are required for operation.  
If you already provided the IP address, subnet mask and gateway, you will not be prompted for  
those values again.  
If you have not already provided the network information, you will be prompted for them.  
Enter the addresses using standard dot notation.  
CCM configuration is required  
Enter CCM IP address > 192.168.0.5  
Enter CCM Subnet mask > 255.255.255.0  
Enter CCM Gateway address > 0.0.0.0  
3. You are prompted for a new Admin password. Passwords are case sensitive and must contain  
3-16 alphanumeric characters. You must enter the new password twice to confirm that you  
entered it correctly.  
Enter CCM New Admin Password > *****  
Confirm New Admin Password > *****  
After you have provided the required configuration information, a confirmation message appears  
while the CCM appliance stores the values in its configuration database.  
You have now completed the initial login, and you may enter additional commands at the CLI  
prompt (>). To configure other CCM appliance ports, see Configuring Serial Port Settings on  
Reinitializing the CCM Appliance  
Reinitializing the CCM appliance removes configured information. This may be useful when  
reinstalling the unit at another location in your network.  
The CCM appliance stores configuration information in FLASH databases. During reinitialization,  
the FLASH erase has two phases. The first phase erases the configuration database, which contains  
all nonvolatile data except the IP address. The second phase erases the IP address and restores the  
CCM appliance to its factory default settings.

CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
To reinitialize the CCM appliance:  
1. Locate the recessed INIT button on the front of the CCM appliance. An opened paper clip may  
be used to depress the button.  
2. Insert the end of the opened paper clip in the recess, then depress and hold the button. The  
ONLINE LED will blink, indicating an initialization has been requested. You have approxi-  
mately seven seconds to release the button before any action is taken.  
After seven seconds, the ONLINE LED will blink more rapidly to confirm that the CCM  
configuration database has been erased. Continuing to hold the INIT button for a few more  
seconds will erase the IP address as well. The ONLINE LED will blink faster to confirm  
the deletion.  
If any portion of FLASH is erased, the CCM appliance reboots when the INIT button is released.  
You may also use the Server FLASH command to update the CCM FLASH application or boot  
program. For more information, see Server FLASH command on page 50.

CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
The Power parameter instructs the CCM appliance to monitor the state of a specified control signal.  
Signal transitions may be configured to trigger SNMP traps. The parameter value indicates an  
inbound control signal (CTS, DCD or DSR) and the state of that signal (low or high). When the  
defined signal is true, the CCM appliance interprets it as a power on condition for the attached  
device; when the signal is false, a power off condition for the device is assumed. The signal  
specified for flow control may not be used for power control, and vice versa.  
To configure serial port settings:  
Issue a Port Set command. You may specify settings for one or all ports.  
PORT [<port>|ALL] SET [NAME=<name>] [BAUD=<baud>] [SIZE=<size>]  
[PARITY=<parity>] [STOP=<stop_bits>] [FLOW=<flow_ctrl>] [TIMEOUT=<time-out>]  
[SOCKET=<socket>] [CHAR=^<cli_char>] [TOGGLE=NONE|DTR] [POWER=<signal>]  
For more information and descriptions of all valid parameters, see Port Set command on page 45.  
To display serial port settings:  
Issue a Show Port command.  
SHOW PORT [<port>|ALL|NAMES]  
The display includes configuration information, current power status (if power status monitoring  
has been enabled), plus transmit, receive and error counts. When you request information about a  
single port and a user is currently accessing that port, the display also includes the username, access  
rights and other information about the current session.  
When you request information about port names, the display includes the port numbers and names.  
If a port’s name has not been changed with a Port Set command, the logical name is displayed.  
For more information, see Show Port command on page 59.  
Connecting to Serial Devices  
The CCM appliance offers several methods for connecting to attached serial devices: Telnet, serial  
CLI, PPP and SSH.  
Connecting to devices using Telnet  
Each CCM serial port is directly addressable through a unique TCP port that provides a connection  
to the attached serial device.  
Plain text (non-encrypted) Telnet connections are enabled by default. For information about  
enabling both plain text Telnet and SSH connections, Enabling plain text Telnet and SSH  
You may access the CCM appliance and its ports using Equinox-provided or third party Telnet  
client applications. Third party Telnet applications may be used in combination with AVWorks  
software or standalone.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
             
Chapter 3: Operations  
13  
AVWorks software Telnet client  
Each CCM appliance is shipped with the AVWorks cross-platform management application.  
AVWorks software provides a convenient way to select a CCM appliance or an attached device and  
launch a Telnet session to manage it.  
AVWorks software includes a built-in Serial Console Viewer Telnet application that offers several  
features not found in other Telnet clients. For maximum flexibility, AVWorks software allows you  
to associate a unique Telnet client with each CCM port. AVWorks software also provides built-in  
support for SSH2.  
You may specify the built-in Telnet client or a third party Telnet client. For more information, see  
the AVWorks Installer/User Guide.  
Standalone third party Telnet clients  
You may use third party Telnet clients to access the CCM appliance directly without  
AVWorks software.  
To connect to a device using Telnet:  
Type telnet, followed by the CCM IP address and the appropriate TCP port, which by default is  
3000 plus the physical port number, in decimal format. (The TCP port number may be changed for  
any CCM port.)  
For example, the following Telnet command connects to the serial device attached to physical port  
24 of the CCM appliance.  
telnet 192.168.0.5 3024  
If an authentication method other than None has been configured for the CCM appliance, you will  
be prompted for a username and password. Once authentication completes, your connection is  
confirmed. When you successfully connect to the serial device, you will see a display similar to  
the following.  
Username: Myname  
Password: ******  
Authentication Complete  
Connected to Port: 7 9600,8,N,1,XON/XOFF  
If the authentication method is configured as None, you may Telnet and connect to a serial device  
without entering credentials; however, credentials are always required when connecting to the  
CCM CLI.  
NOTE: When using AVWorks software, the configuration of the credential caching feature may affect whether  
you are prompted for a username and password. See the AVWorks Installer/User Guide for more information.  
Data entered at the Telnet client is written to the attached serial device. Any data received by the  
CCM appliance from the serial device is output to your Telnet client.  
Connecting to devices from the console port  
You may connect to one serial device at a time from the console port, using a local terminal or a  
local PC using a terminal emulation program. If you connect an external modem to the console  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
14  
CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
port, you may also access devices through a remote terminal or PC that can dial into the external  
modem. For information about modem connections, see Configuring and using dial-in connections  
To connect to a device from the console port:  
1. Issue a Server CLI command, using the Connect parameter to enable the use of the Connect  
command from the console port.  
SERVER CLI CONNECT=ON  
2. Issue a Connect command to the desired port.  
CONNECT <port>  
3. To end a device session that was initiated with a Connect command, issue a Disconnect command.  
DISCONNECT  
Configuring and using dial-in connections  
You may attach an external modem to the console port for dial-in serial CLI access to the CCM  
appliance. This may be used as a backup connection if the unit is not accessible from the network.  
It may also be used as a primary connection at remote sites that do not have Ethernet network  
capability. The modem must be Hayes compatible.  
To specify a modem initialization string:  
1. Issue a Server CLI command, using the Modeminit parameter to specify the modem initializa-  
tion string.  
SERVER CLI MODEMINIT=“<string>”  
The string must be enclosed in quotes and must include at least the command settings ATV1  
and SO=1, which cause the modem to issue verbose response strings and autoanswer the phone  
on the first ring. For more information, see Server CLI command on page 49.  
The modem initialization string is sent to the cabled modem when any of the following  
conditions occur:  
CCM appliance initialization  
Detection of a transition of DSR from low to high  
Completion of a call when DCD changes from high to low  
2. Upon successful modem connection, press the Enter key until the login prompt appears.  
To display modem configuration information:  
Issue a Show Server CLI command.  
SHOW SERVER CLI  
For more information, see Show Server CLI command on page 61.

Chapter 3: Operations  
15  
Connecting to devices using PPP  
The CCM appliance supports remote PPP access using an autoanswer modem that answers calls  
and establishes the PPP protocol with a dial-in client. You may establish Telnet or SSH  
connections over PPP.  
PPP dial-in may be used to access a remote CCM appliance that does not warrant a WAN (Wide  
Area Network) link to the Ethernet interface. The PPP dial-in may also be used to access a subnet  
containing remote devices in the event of a WAN link failure. In this case, the PPP provides an  
alternate path to one or more remote devices.  
To use PPP, you must configure a modem in autoanswer mode on the console port; see Configuring  
and using dial-in connections on page 14. Once the PPP connection is established, you must launch  
an application that connects to the CCM appliance or to one of its ports. The PPP connection is  
only a communications interface to the CCM appliance.  
The CCM appliance implements a PPP server that uses CHAP (Challenge Authentication  
Protocol). Passwords are not accepted in the clear on PPP connections.  
To enable or disable a PPP server on the console port:  
1. To enable a PPP server on the console port, issue a Server PPP command with the  
Enable parameter.  
SERVER PPP ENABLE LOCALIP=<local_ip> REMOTEIP=<rem_ip> [MASK=<subnet>]  
You must specify local and remote IP addresses to be used for the CCM appliance and client  
ends of the PPP connection respectively. You are prompted to confirm or cancel the changes.  
Enter Y to confirm or N to cancel.  
2. To disable a PPP server, issue a Server PPP command with the Disable parameter.  
SERVER PPP DISABLE  
For more information, see Server PPP command on page 51.  
To display PPP configuration information:  
Issue a Show Server PPP command.  
SHOW SERVER PPP  
For more information, see Show Server PPP command on page 62.  
Connecting to devices using SSH  
The CCM console management appliance supports version 2 of the SSH protocol (SSH2). The  
CCM SSH server operates on the standard SSH port 22. The shell for this connection provides a  
CLI prompt as if you had established a Telnet connection on port 23. The shell request for this  
connection is for CLI access.  
Additional CCM SSH servers operate on TCP ports that are numbered with values 100 greater than  
the standard 30xx Telnet ports for the CCM appliance. For example, if port 7 is configured for  
Telnet access on port 3007, then port 3107 will be a direct SSH connection for port 7. When SSH is  
enabled, Telnet port 23 connections will be accepted from other clients if the Server Security

16  
CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
command includes the Encrypt=SSH,None parameter, which indicates that both SSH and plain text  
connections will be allowed. Connecting to Telnet port 23 may also be tunneled through a  
connection to SSH port 22.  
SSH server keys  
When SSH is enabled for the first time, all sessions are terminated and the CCM appliance  
generates an SSH server key. The key generation process may take up to three minutes. The key is  
computed at random and is stored in the CCM configuration database.  
In most cases, the SSH server key should not be modified because most SSH clients will associate  
the key with the IP address of the CCM appliance. During the first connection to a new SSH server,  
the client will display the SSH server’s key. You will be prompted to indicate if it should be stored  
on the SSH client. After the first connection, most SSH clients will validate the key when  
connecting to the CCM appliance. This provides an extra layer of security because the SSH client  
can verify the key sent by the server each time it connects.  
When you disable SSH and later reenable it, you may either use the existing server key or compute  
a new one. If you are reenabling the same server at the same IP address, it is recommended that you  
use the existing key, as SSH clients may be using it for verification. If you are moving the CCM  
appliance to another location and changing the IP address, you may wish to generate a new SSH  
server key.  
Authenticating an SSH user  
SSH is enabled and disabled with the Server SSH command. When you enable SSH, you may  
specify the authentication method(s) that will be used for SSH connections. The method may be a  
password, an SSH key or both. A user’s password and SSH key are specified with a User Add or  
User Set command. All SSH keys must be RSA keys. DSA keys are not supported.  
Table 3.2 lists and describes the valid SSH authentication methods that may be specified with a  
Server SSH command.  
Table 3.2: SSH Authentication Methods  
Method  
Description  
SSH connections will be authenticated with a username/password. With this method,  
a user’s definition must include a valid password in order for that user to authenticate  
an SSH session.  
PW (default)  
SSH connections will be authenticated with an SSH key. With this method, a user’s  
definition must include valid SSH key information in order for that user to  
authenticate an SSH session. Key authentication is always local; RADIUS is not  
supported. For more information, see SSH user keys on page 17.

Table 3.2: SSH Authentication Methods (Continued)  
Method  
Description  
SSH connections will be authenticated with either a username/password or an SSH  
key. If a user has only a password defined, that user must authenticate an SSH  
session with a username/password. If a user has only an SSH key defined, that user  
must authenticate an SSH session using the key. If a user has both a password and  
an SSH key defined, that user may use either a username/password or the SSH key  
to authenticate an SSH session. This method allows the administrator to define how  
each user will authenticate an SSH session based on information provided in the  
User Add/Set command.  
PW|KEY or KEY|PW  
PW authentication will be local or RADIUS as specified in the Auth parameter of the  
Server Security command. Key authentication is always local.  
SSH connections will be authenticated using both a username/password and an  
SSH key. With this method, a user’s definition must include a password and SSH key  
PW&KEY or KEY&PW information for that user to authenticate an SSH session.  
PW authentication will be local or RADIUS as specified in the Auth parameter of the  
Server Security command. Key authentication is always local.  
A user’s access rights are determined from the authentication method used. SSH key authentication  
always uses the access rights from the local user database. Depending on the server authentication  
mode specified with the Server Security command, SSH password authentication will use either the  
access rights from the local user database or the values returned by the RADIUS server.  
With either of the “or” methods (PW|KEY and KEY|PW), the user access rights are determined  
from the method used to authenticate the user.  
With either of the “and” methods (PW&KEY and KEY&PW), the user access rights are  
determined from the first method specified. If PW&KEY is specified, the access rights from the  
password authentication will be used. If KEY&PW is specified, the access rights from the key  
authentication will be used.  
For more information, see Using Authentication Methods on page 23.  
SSH user keys  
A user’s SSH key is specified in a User Add or User Set command. You may define a key even if  
SSH is not currently enabled. The key may be specified in one of two ways:  
When using the SSHKEY and FTPIP keyword pair to define the network location of a user’s  
SSH key file, the SSHKEY parameter specifies the name of the uuencoded (Unix to Unix  
encoded) public key file on an FTP server. The maximum file size that can be received is 4K  
bytes. The FTPIP parameter specifies the FTP server’s IP address.  
When this method is specified, the CCM appliance initiates an FTP client request to the  
specified IP address. The CCM appliance then prompts the user for an FTP username and  
password for connection. When connected, the CCM appliance will GET the specified key file  
and the FTP connection will be closed. The CCM appliance then stores the SSH key with the  
username in the CCM user database.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
18  
CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
When using the KEY keyword to specify the SSH key, the KEY parameter specifies the actual  
uuencoded SSH key. This is for configurations that do not implement an FTP server. The CCM  
appliance stores the specified key in the CCM user database.  
The CCM appliance processes a uuencoded SSH2 public key file with the format described in the  
IETF document draft-ietf-secshpublickeyfile-02. The key must follow all format requirements. The  
UNIX ssh-keygen2 generates this file format. The CCM appliance also processes a uuencoded  
SSH1 public key file. The UNIX ssh-keygen generates this file format.  
To enable SSH session access to the CCM appliance:  
1. Issue a Show Server Security command to ensure that you are using an authentication method  
other than None.  
SHOW SERVER SECURITY  
2. Issue a Server SSH command with the Enable parameter. You may also specify an authentica-  
tion method.  
SERVER SSH ENABLE AUTH=<auth>  
If an authentication method is not specified, the previous authentication parameter will be  
used. The default value is AUTH=PW.  
3. If you are enabling SSH for the first time, you are advised that all other CCM appliance  
sessions will be terminated. Enter Y to continue or N to cancel.  
4. If you are reenabling SSH, you are prompted to use the existing SSH server key or generate a  
new key. Enter Y to use the existing key or N to generate a new key.  
For more information, see Server SSH command on page 57.  
To disable SSH session access to the CCM appliance:  
Issue a Server SSH command with the Disable parameter.  
SERVER SSH DISABLE  
When SSH is disabled, the CCM appliance operates in plain text mode.  
To display SSH information:  
Issue a Show Server Security command.  
SHOW SERVER SECURITY  
If SSH is enabled, the display will include SSH2. Regardless of whether SSH is enabled, the  
display will indicate the authentication method that was specified with the Server SSH command.  
Enabling plain text Telnet and SSH connections  
Plain text (non-encrypted) Telnet connections are enabled by default.  
If you enable SSH connections using the Server Security command and the Encrypt=SSH  
parameter, plain text Telnet connections will be disabled. However, if you enable SSH connections  
with the Server SSH command, both plain text and SSH connections will be allowed.

Chapter 3: Operations  
19  
To enable both Telnet and SSH connections:  
Issue a Server Security command, indicating Encrypt=SSH,None.  
CLI mode  
While you are connected to an attached serial device, you may enter Telnet CLI mode and enter  
CCM appliance commands.  
To enter or exit CLI mode when connected to a serial device:  
1. To enter CLI mode, type the CLI access character, which is Ctrl-D by default. At the CLI  
prompt (>), you may enter CCM commands.  
2. To exit CLI mode and return to the session with the attached device, issue a Resume command.  
RESUME  
For more information, see Resume Command on page 48.  
To change the CLI access character:  
Issue a Server CLI command or a Port Set command, using the Char parameter to specify the CLI  
access character.  
SERVER CLI CHAR=^<char>  
- or -  
PORT SET CHAR=^<char>  
If you issue a Port Set command with Char=None, then the CLI access character specified in the  
Server CLI command will be used. You may use the Port Set command to override the Server CLI  
access character on a per-port basis.  
To display CLI access character information:  
Issue a Show Server CLI command.  
SHOW SERVER CLI  
For more information, see Show Server CLI command on page 61.  
Ending Device Sessions  
To end your session:  
Enter CLI mode and issue a Quit command.  
QUIT  
- or -  
If you initiated the device session with a Connect command, enter CLI mode and issue a  
Disconnect command.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
DISCONNECT  
- or -  
Allow the port to time-out due to inactivity. In this case, a notification message is issued and the  
serial CLI session returns to CLI mode. This time-out may occur while you are in CLI mode.  
- or -  
For modem connections, if a carrier drop occurs, the serial CLI session is automatically logged off.  
To end another user’s session:  
Issue a User Logout command.  
USER LOGOUT <username>  
A message is sent and the Telnet or SSH connection is dropped.  
For more information, see User Logout command on page 67. For information about preempting a  
Session time-out  
The CCM console management appliance monitors data traffic when you are connected to an  
attached serial device. You may specify a time-out value with the Server CLI command. You may  
also specify a time-out value for each port with the Port Set command. When no data is received  
from the connected user for the configured number of minutes, the connection is terminated.  
The following time-out values are used:  
For a Telnet session, the Server CLI time-out value is used.  
For a serial port session, if the port’s configured time-out value is zero, the Server CLI time-  
out value is used, even if it is also zero.  
For a serial port session, if the port’s configured time-out value is non-zero, that value is used.  
Preemption  
Depending on configured access levels, a user who is connecting to a port (the connecting user)  
may disconnect another user of equal or lower access (the current user). For preemption purposes,  
the hierarchy of access levels is APPLIANCEADMIN > ADMIN > user.  
If the connecting user’s access level is lower than the current user’s access level, the connecting  
user will receive an In Use message and the connection will be dropped.  
If the connecting user’s access level is equal to or higher than the owning user’s access level, an In  
Use by owning user message will be displayed. The connecting user may then choose to preempt the  
current user’s session. If the current user’s session is preempted, an appropriate message is displayed.  
For more information, see Access rights and levels on page 21.  
Managing User Accounts  
The CCM user database can store information for up to 64 user accounts.

Chapter 3: Operations  
21  
To add a user:  
Issue a User Add command.  
USER ADD <username> [PASSWORD=<pwd>] [SSHKEY=<keyfile>] [FTPIP=<ftpadd>]  
[KEY=<sshkey>] [ACCESS=<access>]  
You must specify a username. You must also specify a password or SSH user key information, or  
you may specify both. You may also include an access level or access rights. For more information,  
To change a user’s configuration information:  
Issue a User Set command.  
USER SET <username> [PASSWORD=<pwd>] [SSHKEY=<keyfile>] [FTPIP=<ftpadd>]  
[KEY=<sshkey>] [ACCESS=<access>]  
You may change your own password at any time. You must have USER access rights to change  
another user’s password or to change any user’s SSH user key information and access rights.  
To remove an SSH user key or password, specify Key=“” or Password=“”. You cannot remove  
both the password and the SSH key from a user’s definition; one must remain in the user database.  
Also, you cannot remove a user’s key or password if that removal would result in no valid users  
having USER access rights.  
To delete a user:  
Issue a User Delete command.  
USER DELETE <username>  
If the specified user is currently logged in, a message is sent to the user indicating that access is no  
longer permitted, and the user’s Telnet session is terminated. For more information, see User  
To display user configuration information:  
1. To display information about one user, issue a Show User command, specifying the username.  
SHOW USER <username>  
2. To display information about all users, issue a Show User command with the All parameter.  
SHOW USER ALL  
For more information, see Show User command on page 63.  
Access rights and levels  
Most CCM appliance commands require the user to have the appropriate permission to issue CCM  
appliance commands. Permissions are expressed as access rights or access levels. The access rights  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
             
22  
CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
for each command are listed in Table 4.4 on page 36. Table 3.3 describes the access rights a user  
may be given.  
Table 3.3: Access Rights  
Access Right  
Description  
The Port Configuration access right allows the user to modify port settings. Grant PCON  
access only to users who need to issue the Port Set command.  
PCON  
The Server Configuration access right allows the user to change the CCM configurations,  
including setting the IP address and updating the program load in FLASH. Grant SCON  
access only to users who need to administer the CCM appliance.  
SCON  
SMON  
The Server Monitor access right allows the user to view CCM appliance status and  
monitor serial port activity. Grant SMON access only to users who need to assist other  
users in accessing attached serial devices.  
The USER access right allows the user to modify the user database. Grant USER access  
only to users who need to add users, change user specifications or delete users. At least  
one user must have USER access rights; otherwise, the user database cannot be changed.  
USER  
The BREAK access right allows the user to send a serial break sequence to the attached  
serial device. On certain devices, this sequence has a special meaning. Grant BREAK  
access only to users who need to use the Port Break command.  
BREAK  
P
The Port access right gives a user access to one or more serial ports and the attached  
serial devices. You may grant Port access rights to specific ports (Pn), a range of ports  
(Px-y) or all ports (PALL).  
Access levels  
When you specify a user’s permissions, you may either indicate the individual rights as listed in  
Table 3.3 or you may indicate a predefined access level. The APPLIANCEADMIN and ADMIN  
levels are equivalent to the following individual specifications:  
The APPLIANCEADMIN level is equivalent to PALL, USER, SCON, SMON, PCON  
and BREAK  
The ADMIN level is equivalent to PALL, USER, SMON, PCON and BREAK  
The third level (not APPLIANCEADMIN or ADMIN) is user. For preemption purposes, the  
following hierarchy is used: APPLIANCEADMIN > ADMIN > user.  
A user’s access level may be used for preemption. For example, assume User A is connected to a  
port. User B tries to connect to the same port. If User B has an access level equal to or greater than  
User A’s access level, then User B will be given the option of preempting User A. For more  
information, see Preemption on page 20.  
To manage a user’s access rights/levels:  
1. To configure a user’s access rights/level, issue a User Add command, using the Access param-  
eter to specify the rights or a level.

USER ADD <username> ACCESS=<access>  
2. To change a user’s access rights/level, issue a User Set command, using the Access parameter  
to specify the rights or a level.  
USER SET <username> ACCESS=<access>  
3. To display the access rights and level for one or all users, issue a Show User command.  
SHOW USER <username>|ALL  
Using Authentication Methods  
The CCM appliance supports several methods for authenticating users: local, RADIUS and none.  
Multiple connection and authentication methods may operate concurrently. By default,  
authentication is performed at the local CCM user database.  
Local authentication  
Local authentication uses the CCM appliance internal user database to authenticate users. You may  
optionally specify both local and RADIUS authentication, in either order. In this case,  
authentication will be attempted initially on the first method specified. If that fails, the second  
method will be used for authentication.  
RADIUS authentication  
RADIUS authentication uses an external third party RADIUS server containing a user database to  
authenticate CCM appliance users. The CCM appliance, functioning as a RADIUS client, sends  
usernames and passwords to the RADIUS server. If a username and password do not agree with  
equivalent information on the RADIUS server, the CCM appliance is informed and the user is  
denied CCM access. If the username and password are successfully validated on the RADIUS  
server, the RADIUS server returns an attribute that indicates the access rights defined for  
that username.  
To use RADIUS authentication, you must specify information about the primary RADIUS server  
and optionally, a secondary RADIUS server to be used as a backup.  
The RADIUS server definition values specified in CCM appliance commands must match  
corresponding values configured on the RADIUS server. On the RADIUS server, you must include  
CCM appliance-specific information: the list of valid users and their access rights for the CCM  
appliance. Each user-rights attribute in the RADIUS server’s dictionary must be specified as a  
string containing the user’s access rights for the CCM appliance, exactly matching the syntax used  
in the CCM User Add command.  
Consult your RADIUS administrator’s manual for information about specifying users and their  
attributes. The exact process depends on the RADIUS server you are using.

24  
CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
You may optionally specify both RADIUS and local authentication, in either order. In this case,  
authentication will be attempted initially on the first method specified. If that fails, the second  
method will be used for authentication.  
No authentication  
When authentication is disabled, users are not authenticated. Telnet sessions to serial ports are  
accepted immediately, and users are not prompted for a username or password. In this case, users  
are granted access only to the port to which they are connected, including Break access.  
Connections to the Telnet port (23), serial CLI and PPP are still authenticated using the local CCM  
user database, even when authentication is expressly disabled. Generally, these communications  
paths are used only by administrators, and authentication is enforced in order to establish  
appropriate access rights.  
Authentication may not be disabled when SSH session access is enabled.  
Authentication summary  
Table 3.4 indicates how authentication is performed according to the authentication method  
specified and the type of connection to the CCM appliance.  
Table 3.4: Authentication Method Summary  
Mode  
Connection Type and Authentication Action  
Local  
All sessions are authenticated using the CCM user database.  
Telnet and SSH sessions are authenticated using RADIUS. Serial CLI sessions are  
authenticated using the CCM user database.  
RADIUS  
Telnet and SSH sessions are authenticated using the CCM user database. If that  
fails, authentication uses RADIUS. Serial CLI sessions are authenticated using the  
CCM user database.  
Local,RADIUS  
Telnet and SSH sessions are authenticated using RADIUS. If that fails,  
authentication uses the CCM user database. Serial CLI connections are  
authenticated using the CCM user database.  
RADIUS,Local  
None  
Telnet to serial port sessions use no authentication. Telnet CLI and serial CLI  
sessions are authenticated using the CCM user database. This authentication mode  
cannot be used for SSH connections.  
To specify the authentication method:  
1. For RADIUS authentication, issue a Server RADIUS command.  
SERVER RADIUS PRIMARY|SECONDARY IP=<radius_ip> SECRET=<secret> USER-  
RIGHTS=<attr> [AUTHPORT=<udp>] [TIMEOUT=<time-out>] [RETRIES=<retry>]  
You must specify the server’s IP address, the UDP port to be used and a “secret” to be used.  
You must also specify a user-rights attribute value that matches a value in the RADIUS  
server’s dictionary.

Chapter 3: Operations  
25  
You may also use this command to delete a RADIUS server definition.  
SERVER RADIUS PRIMARY|SECONDARY DELETE  
For more information, see Server RADIUS command on page 52.  
2. Issue a Server Security command, using the Authentication parameter to specify the authenti-  
cation method. Use the Encrypt parameter to enable plain text Telnet connections, SSH con-  
nections or both.  
SERVER SECURITY AUTHENTICATION=<auth> ENCRYPT=<conns>  
You may optionally specify both RADIUS and local authentication, in either order. In tis case,  
authentication will be attempted initially on the first method specified. If that fails, the second  
method will be used for authentication.  
When SSH session access is enabled, you must specify an authentication method other  
than None.  
3. You are prompted to save the information. Enter Y to confirm or N to cancel.  
To display authentication configuration information:  
1. Issue a Show Server Security command.  
SHOW SERVER SECURITY  
The display includes the current CCM appliance authentication settings that were configured  
with the Server Security command. If SSH access has been enabled, the display indicates  
SSH2. Regardless of whether SSH is enabled, the display includes the authentication method  
specified with the Server SSH command.  
2. To display CCM RADIUS settings that were configured with the Server RADIUS command,  
issue a Show Server RADIUS command.  
SHOW SERVER RADIUS  
Using security lock-out  
When the security lock-out feature is enabled, a user account will be locked-out after five  
consecutive authentication failures. A successful authentication will reset the counter to zero. You  
may configure a lock-out period of 1-99 hours. A lock-out period of zero disables the feature; that  
is, user accounts will not be locked-out.  
A locked account will remain locked until the specified time elapses, the CCM appliance is power-  
cycled or the account is unlocked by an administrator with the User Unlock command. A user with  
the ADMIN access level may unlock all users except a user with the APPLIANCEADMIN level. A  
user with the APPLIANCEADMIN level may unlock all users.

CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
To enable or disable security lock-out:  
1. To enable security lock-out, issue a Server Security command, using the Lockout parameter  
with a value between 1-99.  
2. To disable security lock-out, issue a Server Security command, using the Lockout=0 parameter.  
To unlock a locked-out user:  
Issue a User Unlock command with the username.  
Managing the Port History Buffer  
Each CCM appliance serial port has a circular history buffer that contains the latest 64K bytes of  
data received from the attached serial device. This information may be helpful in analyzing  
attached device anomalies.  
The history buffer begins filling with received data upon completion of CCM appliance  
initialization, even if no user is connected. When you connect to a serial port, the data that was  
received from the attached serial device prior to the connection is available in the buffer. Once  
online, new data continues to be stored in the buffer. You may choose whether to display the  
history buffer’s content automatically when you connect and whether to keep or discard the history  
buffer’s content at the end of a session.  
When more than 64K bytes of data are sent to the history buffer, data at the top of the buffer is  
discarded to make room for the new data. As a result, the buffer always contains the most recent  
64K bytes of port history.  
Using port history mode commands  
Once you are in port history mode, you may issue the commands listed in Table 3.5. Only the first  
letter of the command is required.  
Table 3.5: Port History Mode Commands  
Command Description  
Bottom  
Clear  
B sets the view location to the bottom of the file minus 23 history display lines, if available.  
C clears the port history buffer.  
N increments the current history display line by the number of lines per page and outputs a new  
history display page.  
Next  
P decrements the current history display line by the number of lines per page and outputs a new  
history display page.  
Prev  
Quit  
Q returns to the normal CLI.  
R leaves port history mode and CLI mode and resumes the session with the attached serial  
device. This single command is equivalent to sequentially using the Quit and Resume commands.

Table 3.5: Port History Mode Commands (Continued)  
Command Description  
S searches the port history buffer for a specified text string. Search strings with embedded spaces  
must be enclosed in quotes.  
By default, the search is case sensitive. To ignore case, enter -i before the string. To specify  
direction, type -u to search up from the current line toward the top of the buffer or -d to search  
down from the current line toward the bottom of the buffer. The search direction remains in effect  
for subsequent searches until you change the search direction.  
Search  
If the string is found, the current history display line is set to the line containing the string, and the  
unit outputs a history display page. If the string is not found, an error message is displayed, no  
other information is output and the current history display line is not changed.  
Entering the Search command with no parameters searches again for the previous string in the  
same direction as the previous search.  
Top  
T sets the current history display line to one and outputs a history display page.  
The following examples assume the user is in port history mode.  
The following command searches the history buffer in the upward direction for the string  
Abort Process.  
PORT HISTORY> s -u “Abort Process”  
The following command searches the history buffer for the string Process, ignoring case.  
PORT HISTORY> s -i Process  
To access port history mode:  
Issue a Port History command.  
PORT HISTORY  
The PORT HISTORY > prompt appears.  
To control the port history buffer display when you connect:  
Issue a Server CLI command, using the History parameter to specify the Hold or Auto option:  
SERVER CLI HISTORY=HOLD|AUTO  
If Hold is specified, the number of bytes in the history buffer is displayed, but none of the his-  
tory data is output. In this case, you must access the CLI and use the Port History command to  
view the port’s history buffer content. This is the default mode.  
If Auto is specified, the number of bytes in the history buffer is displayed and the entire con-  
tent of the buffer is output to the Telnet session. In this mode, the history buffer’s content may  
be reviewed in the Telnet client’s scrolling window. You may also use the Port History com-  
mand to view the port’s history buffer content.  
To control the port history buffer content when you end a session:  
Issue a Server CLI command, using the History parameter to specify the Clear or Keep option:  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
28  
CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
SERVER CLI HISTORY=CLEAR|KEEP  
If Clear is specified, the port history buffer is cleared and all data is discarded at the end of  
a session.  
If Keep is specified, the port history buffer’s content is retained at the end of a session.  
To clear and discard all data in a port history buffer:  
Issue a Clear command while you are in port history mode.  
CLEAR  
- or -  
Issue a Server CLI command, indicating History=Clear.  
SERVER CLI HISTORY=CLEAR  
In this case, the port’s history buffer is cleared at the end of each device session.  
Managing the CCM Appliance Using SNMP  
The CCM console management appliance provides a set of commands that create and manage  
SNMP structures for use by third party network management products. These commands cover the  
following operations:  
Enabling and disabling SNMP UDP port 161 SNMP processing  
Defining read, write and trap community names  
Defining and deleting up to four SNMP management entity IP addresses  
Enabling and disabling SNMP traps  
Defining and deleting up to four trap destination IP addresses  
Defining, copying and deleting up to ten alert strings for each port  
By default, SNMP is enabled but no traps are enabled and no trap destinations are defined.  
To enable or disable SNMP processing:  
1. To enable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the Enable parameter. This  
is the default setting.  
SERVER SNMP ENABLE  
2. To disable SNMP processing, issue a Server SNMP command with the Disable parameter.  
SERVER SNMP DISABLE  
For more information, see Server SNMP command on page 55.  
To specify SNMP community names:  
Issue a Server SNMP Community command, using the Readcomm, Writecomm and Trapcomm  
parameters to specify community names.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
Chapter 3: Operations  
29  
NOTE: The default community names are “public”; if you enable SNMP, you are encouraged to change the  
community values to prevent access to the MIB.  
SERVER SNMP COMMUNITY READCOMM=<name> WRITECOMM=<name>  
TRAPCOMM=<name>  
Although all three community names default to public, if you specify a trap community name with  
this command, it must be different from the read and write community names.  
To add or delete SNMP management entity addresses:  
1. To add an SNMP management entity address, issue a Server SNMP Manager command with  
the Add parameter and the management entity’s IP address. You may define up to four SNMP  
management entity addresses, using separate commands.  
SERVER SNMP MANAGER ADD <ip_address>  
When you define at least one SNMP manager, SNMP requests are processed if they are from  
one of the defined SNMP managers. If a request is not from one of the defined SNMP  
managers, the SNMP request is discarded.  
2. To delete an SNMP management entity address, issue a Server SNMP Manager command with  
the Delete parameter and the management entity’s IP address.  
SERVER SNMP MANAGER DELETE <ip_address>  
If no management entities are defined, any SNMP manager may access the MIB. For more  
To enable or disable SNMP traps:  
1. To enable SNMP traps, issue a Server SNMP Trap command with the Enable parameter.  
SERVER SNMP TRAP ENABLE  
The CCM appliance will display a numbered list of traps that are currently disabled with a

CHAPTER  
Using CCM Appliance Commands  
4
Accessing the CLI  
You may access the CLI in three ways: using the Telnet CLI, using the console port or entering the  
CLI access character during a session to a serial device. When the CLI is accessed, its prompt  
appears (>), indicating you may type a command.  
Entering Commands  
At the command prompt, type a command and then press Return or Enter. When the key is  
pressed, the command line comprises all characters to the left of the cursor. The character at the  
cursor and any characters to the right of the cursor are ignored. Table 4.1 lists the line editing  
operations for VT100 compatible devices.  
Table 4.1: Line Editing Operations for VT100 Compatible Devices  
Operation  
Action  
The character immediately before the cursor is erased and all text at and to the right of the  
cursor moves one character to the left.  
Backspace  
If the cursor is not at the beginning of the line, the cursor moves one character to the left. If the  
cursor is at the beginning of the line, no action is taken.  
Left Arrow  
If the cursor is not at the end of the line, the cursor moves one character to the right. If the  
cursor is at the end of the line, no action is taken.  
Right Arrow  
The CLI maintains a buffer containing the last 16 typed command lines. If there is a previous  
command line, it will be output as the current command line and may be edited. If there is no  
previous command line in the command line buffer, the command line is set to blanks and you  
may enter a new command.  
Up Arrow  
The next command in the CLI command line buffer is made available for edit. If there is no  
next command line, the command line is set to blanks and you may enter a new command.  
Down Arrow  
Delete  
The character at the cursor position is deleted and all characters to the right of the cursor  
position are moved left one character.

CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
Table 4.2 lists the line editing operations for ASCII TTY devices. There is no command line buffer  
available on an ASCII TTY device.  
Table 4.2: Line Editing Operations for ASCII TTY Devices  
Operation  
Backspace  
Esc  
Action  
Erases the last character typed.  
Erases the current command line.  
When commands take effect  
Each command is completely processed before the next command may be entered. Some  
commands prompt for confirmation before they are processed. In these cases, you must confirm or  
cancel by entering Y or N respectively.  
If you enter a Server FLASH command or if you change the CCM appliance IP address with a Server  
Set command, a reboot is required before the change becomes effective. In these cases, the CCM  
database is updated when you enter the command and you are prompted that the change will not take  
effect until the CCM appliance reboots. You may choose to reboot at that time, or you may decline.  
When the unit reboots, your session and all other sessions on the CCM appliance are terminated.  
Understanding Conventions  
This section describes the parts of a CCM appliance command and the conventions used in this  
document to describe a command’s syntax.  
Command syntax  
A command may have four types of syntax: positional commands, positional parameters, keyword  
parameters and keyword values. The following examples demonstrate the syntax types.  
The following Set Port command changes the baud rate and flow control settings for port 2.  
> PORT 2 SET BAUD=57600 FLOW=XONXOF  
Table 4.3: Command Syntax Types in Example Command  
Value  
PORT

Syntax  
Positional command.  
Positional parameter that indicates the port number for the command.  
Positional command that indicates port settings are to be changed.  
Keyword parameter, which is always followed by an equal (=) sign.  
Keyword value indicating the baud rate value for the BAUD keyword parameter.  
Keyword parameter, which is always followed by an equal (=) sign.

Chapter 4: Using CCM Appliance Commands  
35  
Table 4.3: Command Syntax Types in Example Command (Continued)  
Value  
Syntax  
XONXOF  
Keyword value.  
Not every command will contain all syntax types. For example, the following command reboots the  
CCM appliance.  
>SERVER REBOOT  
In this case, both SERVER and REBOOT are positional commands.  
In most cases, one or more spaces separate positional commands, positional parameters and  
keyword parameters.  
For most positional commands, positional parameters or keyword parameters, you only need to  
enter the first three characters. The exceptions are:  
When you specify a terminal type with the Type parameter in the Server CLI command, you  
must enter all characters.  
When you specify an authentication method with the Auth parameter in the Server SSH com-  
mand, you must enter all characters.  
When you specify control signal monitoring with the Power parameter in the Port Set com-  
mand, you must enter all characters.  
When you specify the console port in commands such as Port Set and Show Port, you must  
enter the capitalized abbreviation CON.  
With the exception of usernames and passwords, commands are not case sensitive; they may be  
entered in uppercase, lowercase or a combination. For example, all of the following commands  
are correct.  
> PORT 2 SET BAUD=57600 FLOW=XON  
> POR 2 SET BAU=57600 FLOW=XON  
> por 2 Set Baud=57600 flow=xon  
> port 2 set baud=57600 flow=xon  
NOTE: Usernames and passwords are case sensitive. These values are stored exactly as you enter them. For  
example, the username “Ann” must be entered with an uppercase “A” and all other letters lowercase. The  
username “ANN” will not be accepted as the username “Ann.” Usernames and passwords must contain 3-16  
alphanumeric characters.  
Any syntax errors are displayed, and where applicable, the error is underlined.  
In the following example, the keyword parameter “baud” is misspelled. Even if more than three  
characters are entered, they must all be correct.  
> port 2 Set Baux=57600 flow=xon  
----  
ERR 26 - SET keyword parameter invalid  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
36  
CCM4850 Installer/User Guide  
In the following example, the keyword value “576” is not valid. Numeric keyword values must be  
fully specified and may not be shortened to three characters.  
> POR 2 SET BAUD=576 FLOW=XON  
---  
ERR 27 - SET keyword value invalid  
In the following example, there are spaces between BAUD, the equal sign and the value 57600.  
Spaces are not permitted between keyword parameters and their values.  
> POR 2 SET BAUD = 57600 FLOW=XON  
------------  
ERR 26 - SET keyword parameter invalid  
Syntax conventions  
This manual uses the following command syntax conventions:  
Brackets [ ] surround optional keywords and values.  
Angle brackets < > surround user-supplied positional parameters and keyword parameter values.  
In most cases, choices are separated by a vertical bar |. The description indicates if you may  
specify more than one of the choices and how to separate multiple values. The exception is the  
Server SSH command. In this case, the vertical bar is specified on the command line when you  
wish to enable the “password or key” method (PW|KEY) or the “key or password”  
method (KEY|PW).
