To replace or install a controller card or power supply, remove the front cover of the MX2800 with a phillips head screwdriver.
INTRODUCTION To configure the MX2800, use a 10Base-T Ethernet connection, a SLIP/PPP modem port, or a VT100 terminal. Figure 3-1 shows the Configuration menu. A Telnet menu session has priority over a terminal menu session through the craft port. If a terminal menu session is active when a Telnet menu session is initiated, the terminal menu session will be disabled until the Telnet session is closed.

If the RADIUS server presents a login challenge which requires a response, then the TL1 user re-enters the ACT-USER command, supplying the appropriate response as the password. Challenges and other reply messages returned from the RADIUS server are displayed as comments in the response message from the MX2800.
