CLI
The CLI is a text-based interface accessible from a local console connected to the serial port on the controller or
through a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session.
By default, you access the CLI from the serial port or from an SSH session. You must explicitly enable Telnet on your
controller in order to access the CLI via a Telnet session.
When entering commands remember that:
l commands are not case sensitive
l the space bar completes your partial keyword
l the backspace key erases your entry one letter at a time
