Logging in to the CLI Using the Console

You can log in to the CLI from the console using either the mpxadmin or root user IDs. This is the only way you can log in directly as the root user. You can enter operating system commands here.

Procedure

1. Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the Application Server.

   The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace operating system login page is displayed.

2. For the username, enter mpxadmin.
3. Enter the password for the mpxadmin user.

   This was established during installation.

4. Right-click the desktop and select Open Terminal.

   A command window appears. You can start entering commands. This is a Linux operating system so all commands should be either Linux commands or Cisco Unified MeetingPlace operating system commands. See Operating System Commands for information about the operating system commands.

5. When you are finished with the command window, either enter exit or click the X in the top right corner.

   Note: Always log out of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace operating system when you are finished.

Logging in to the CLI Using SSH

This section provides one method of logging in to the CLI using SSH. Other methods may be available for you.

Restriction

Only the mpxadmin user can log in to the CLI remotely using SSH. If needed, you can later switch to the root user by entering su.

Before You Begin

You need a remote connection with a non-configurable terminal emulation program, such as the Windows SSH client, to log in to the CLI remotely using SSH.

Procedure

1. From your computer, go to Start > Programs > SSH Secure Shell > Secure Shell Client.
2. Click Quick Connect.
3. In the Connect to Remote Host dialog box, enter the following values:

Field	Value
Host Name	IP address of your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system
User Name	mpxadmin
Port Number	22
Authentication Method	leave as <Profile Settings>

4. Click Connect.

5. In the Enter Password dialog box, enter the password for the mpxadmin user.

This was established during installation.

6. Click OK.

The system displays the command line and you can now enter commands.
