About SHELL Commands

You begin in SHELL mode when you start a CLI session. SHELL mode lets you perform the following tasks with

your Motorola Netopia

Gateway:

◆ Monitor its performance

◆ Display and reset Gateway statistics

◆ Issue administrative commands to restart Motorola Netopia® Gateway functions

SHELL Prompt

When you are in SHELL mode, the CLI prompt is the name of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway followed by a right

angle bracket (>). For example, if you open a CLI connection to the Motorola Netopia® Gateway named “Netopia-

3000/9437188,” you would see

Netopia-3000/9437188>

as your CLI prompt.

SHELL Command Shortcuts

You can truncate most commands in the CLI to their shortest unique string. For example, you can use the trun-

cated command

in place of the full

quit

command to exit the CLI. However, you would need to enter

rese

for

the

reset

command, since the first characters of

reset

are common to the

restart

command.

The only commands you cannot truncate are

restart

and

clear

. To prevent accidental interruption of communi-

cations, you must enter the

restart

and

clear

commands in their entirety.

You can use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll backward and forward through recent commands you have

entered. Alternatively, you can use the

command to repeat the last command you entered.
