4 Using the Command Line Interface
All configurable EnRoute500 parameters can be accessed with a Command Line Interface
(CLI).
The CLI allows you to:
• Modify and verify all configuration parameters
• Save and restore device configurations
• Reboot the device
• Upgrade the firmware
4.1 Accessing the CLI
The EnRoute500’s command-line interface (CLI) is accessible through its network interfaces
using an SSH client. Any of the network interfaces can be used to establish the SSH
connection to the EnRoute500. However, connecting through the Ethernet port is required for
devices that have not previously been configured.
Windows XP does not include an SSH client application. You will need to
install a 3
rd
-party client such as SecureCRT from Van Dyke software
(http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt) or the free PuTTY SSH client
(http://www.putty.nl/) to connect to an EnRoute500 using SSH.
When you log in to the EnRoute500, the CLI will present a command prompt. The shell timeout
is displayed above the login prompt. The CLI will automatically log out a user if a session is
inactive for longer than the timeout period. Section 8.14 describes how to change the timeout
period.
Shell timeout: 3 minutes.

password for this account is described in section 8.1.
