XYPLEX instructiuons ---basic boot config-----------
Setting An MX-1600, MX-1608 or MX-1450 To Factory Defaults
Straighten a paper clip and press into the pin-size hole next to console LED
on the front panel of the
unit. All LEDs on the front of the unit will light up.
Press the paper clip in again and hold it in for 3-5 seconds. The LEDs will
light up in a sweeping fashion
from right to left, then left to right. When this sweeping stops, there will
be 2 or 3 LEDS to the right
lit, at this point release the paper clip.
The LEDs will light up in a countdown pattern to 1 (diagnostic test
pattern). Then they will all go out and
the RUN light will be flashing very fast. You should have a terminal
attached to one of the serial ports on
the back of the unit. Press the ENTER key several times for the port to
autobaud. You will see a text
display similar to this:
Terminal Server, Type 97, Rev G.00.00
Ethernet address 08-00-87-05-A1-16, port 2
Configuration in progress. Please wait

display the characters you type)

You can just use the rollover cable to the CONSOLE port. And you can
use the same console cable (and adapter) to connect to the Xyplex from
your PC. (you only need the last part for the ports to work, but here's
the usual config:
(the ports are 2000 + (100*port)) Double check it as it's been quite a while.
# Set the time manually during implementation
SET SERVER DATE dd mmm yyyy
SET SERVER TIME hh:mm:ss
#
Set the login password (Default=ACCESS)
DEF SERVER LOGIN PASSWORD "foobar"
#
Set the maintenance password (Default=SYSTEM)
DEF SERVER MAINTENANCE PASSWORD "foobar"
#
Set the maintenance password. (Default=SYSTEM)
DEF SERVER PRIVILEGED PASSWORD "foobar"
#
# SERVER CHANGE ENABLE allows you to type in
# DEF command and it will automatically issue
# the SET command.
set server change enable
def server internet address 192.168.1.5

Other things to consider:
Define - Change settings within the permanent database (like changing startup-config)
Set - Change settings within operational database (like changing running-config)
"define server change enabled" - Causes the "set" commands to take immediate and permanent effect.
set port all idle timeout 120
set port all break remote
set port 12 flow control enabled
set port 12 flow control cts
set port 12 flow control dsr
set port all ip tcp keepalive timer 10
set port all telnet echo mode character
