ESD Warning
Electronic components and circuits are sensitive to
ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). When handling any circuit
board assemblies including Connect Tech COM Express
carrier assemblies, it is recommended that ESD safety
precautions be observed. ESD safe best practices include,
but are not limited to:
Leaving circuit boards in their antistatic packaging
until they are ready to be installed.
Using a grounded wrist strap when handling circuit
boards, at a minimum you should touch a grounded
metal object to dissipate any static charge that may be
present on you.
Only handling circuit boards in ESD safe areas, which
may include ESD floor and table mats, wrist strap
stations and ESD safe lab coats.
Avoiding handling circuit boards in carpeted areas.
Try to handle the board by the edges, avoiding contact
with components.

CLI Management Interface
CLI Access via External Serial Port
To use the CLI management on the XDG you must connect to the RS-232 external management serial port.
Only TX, RX and GND connections are needed for operation. You then must open the serial port in a terminal
program such as: RealTerm, Putty, HyperTerminal, minicom, etc. The COM port must be set up to run with a
baud rate of 115200, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
Note: the XDG external serial port is compatible with RS-232 Input/Output Levels (NOT TTL or CMOS).

CLI Access via PCIe/104 Bus
The XDG product connects to the CLI management interface via the PCIe/104 bus. This serial port is
generated from on-board PCIe UART the Exar 17V352. Ensure the DIP Switch position 2/B is ON if you want
to access the CLI via the PCIe/104 bus.
Additional drivers will be needed to properly operate the additional serial port.
Drivers for this functionality can be found on Exar’s website here:

CLI Basics
Once opening the COM port attached to the management port, after boot up your terminal output should look
like the output below. The default login is admin and password is blank(“”). So after typing admin hit
<ENTER> then hit <ENTER> again to login and “?” will display a list of the available commands.
Below is a list of common quick CLI commands. For a complete CLI reference please see the documents
described below.
Common Task
CLI Command Syntax
