The CLI number sequence is not often used, but can be helpful for writing command scripts to
pre-configure radios, or get a series of values from the device for management or monitoring.
In the following paragraphs, the CLI structure is presented in a format that illustrates all of these
nomenclatures simultaneously. For example, an entry such as:
Set Subnet Mask, 1.2.4, [setmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
Illustrates that ‘Set Subnet Mask’ would be seen in the menu tree, the number sequence for this
command is 1.2.4, and direct input can be made by typing setmask followed by numeric entries
for the subnet mask IP address. Such as setmask 255.255.000.000.
When there is a particular choice of what to type in the CLI field, the choices are shown
following the command such as:
Set Main Ethernet Duplex, 1.4.1.1.2, [setmainduplex full:half:auto]
Where the choices are full, half or auto, in this case. So the user would type the command, such
as:
setmainduplex full
or
1.4.1.1.1 full
In some cases, there are several entries that follow a single command. Such as with T1 interface
line code. Since there are four T1 inputs, the configuration for all four are done with a single
command. Such as:
Set Line Code (per channel), 1.4.1.3.3.3, [setcode A:B A:B A:B A:B] (A=AIS, B=B8ZS)
Where, if the user wanted AIS for channels one and two, and B8ZS for channels three and four,
the user would type:
setcode A A B B
or
1.4.1.3.3.3 A A B B
As can be seen in this last example, the choices are shown within the menu tree structure, such as
A=AIS and B=B8ZS.
4.5.2.1 The root menu
At the CLI root menu, you are presented with four choices:
1. Configuration/Status
2. Exit
