To enter numeric values in a function:

To open a command line session, connect to the serial or network port using a terminal or a terminal 
emulation program on a PC.

 for information on the function commands.

Two user names are available for logging in to the network port’s command line interface: “operator” and 
“guest”. The serial port’s command line interface does not require the user to log in.

The Operator has full privileges to change the settings in all the XLi’s functions and to perform firmware 
updates. As shipped, you can log in as Operator using:

User Name: operator

Password: janus

To maintain security, change the Operator password at installation. If you are logged in as “operator”, the 
only command line interface function you cannot perform is changing the Guest password.

Use the guest login to view function settings. As shipped, you can log in as guest using:

User Name: guest

Password: ttm

To maintain security, change the Guest password at installation. If you try to use a function that is not 
accessible from the guest login, you will see a message such as “Access denied” or “Command 
canceled”.
