Start CLI session
Note |
This procedure applies to both Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service. The Operating System for Unified Communications Manager is called the Cisco Unified Operating System. The Operating System for the IM and Presence Service is called the Unified IM and Presence Operating System. To start a CLI session for the IM and Presence Service, you must use the Unified IM and Presence Operating System. |
You can access the Cisco Unified Operating System (or, for the IM and Presence Service, the Unified IM and Presence Operating System) remotely or locally:
- From a web client workstation, such as the workstation that you use for Cisco Unified Operating System Administration, you can use SSH to connect securely to the Cisco Unified Operating System.
- You can access the Cisco Unified Operating System CLI directly by using the monitor and keyboard that you used during installation or by using a terminal server that is connected to the serial port. Use this method if a problem exists with the IP address.
Before you begin
Ensure you have the following information that is defined during installation:

- A password
You will need this information to log in to the Cisco Unified Operating System.
