Introduction

The CLI (Command Line Interface) software is a configuration shell for the Access Controller. Using

the CLI system operator can configure:

 User interface

 Network interface

 System

Using the CLI system operator can check:

 Status (device, network, service)

 Connection

All available key combinations in CLI mode are listed in the table below:

Key and/or Combination Function

<TAB> Complete the current keyword or list all the options

<CTRL> <D> Break out the sub-shell

<CTRL> <A> Jump to the beginning of the line

<CTRL> <E> Jump to the end of the line

<CursUP>/<CursDOWN> Scroll through the history of commands

Get Connection to CLI

There are three different ways to get a connection to the CLI of the Access Controller, via the:

 Telnet

 SSH client

 Terminal

Telnet Connection

Make sure that default access status is allowed and telnet function is enabled on

the AC before trying to connect via telnet. Otherwise, no telnet connection will be

available.

Connect the Access Controller via LAN or WAN ports using the enclosed UTP cable and start a telnet

session (using a telnet application). For example, connect your device via the WAN port, and then

make a telnet connection as the following:

telnet 192.168.2.66

where 192.168.2.66 is the default WAN interface IP. Login to CLI mode and the prompt will be

displayed automatically. Enter the administrator login settings (refer to the

section for details).
