Step 1. Connecting, Logging In, and Starting the CLI

You are prompted for a username and password. The default username is root. Because no password is initially required, press Enter at the password prompt for a first-time login.

To access a Services Router with the CLI:

Turn off power to the management PC or laptop.
Connect one end of the console cable to the serial port adapter, plug the adapter into a serial port on the PC or laptop, and plug the other end of the cable into the console port on the Services Router.
Turn on power to the PC or laptop.
On the PC or laptop, start the terminal emulation program (such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal), select the COM port, and configure the following port settings: 9600 (bits per second), 8 (data bits), none (parity), 1 (stop bits), and none (flow control).
Press the POWER button on the router, and verify that the POWER LED turns green.
Wait for the system to boot, and when presented with a login prompt, log in as root, and press Enter at the Password prompt.
When you have been authenticated through the CLI, you enter the UNIX shell:
```
routername (ttyd0)
```
login: root
```
Password:
JUNOS 8.5R1 20070628.0 built 08:11:01  UTC
root@%
```
At the % prompt, type the cli command and press Enter. The prompt changes to an angle bracket (>) when you enter CLI operational mode.
root@% cli
```
root>
```
