5.3 Configuration via Command Line (CLI)
A scriptable command-line interface is accessible through the radio’s Ethernet port using Secure
Shell (SSH) terminal, or through the unit’s USB interface. For enhanced security, the unit does
not support Telnet configuration. The steps below describe a cabled USB connection and assume
the proper drivers have been installed.
1. Install the USB virtual serial port driver, which is available on the GE MDS web site.
2. Connect a PC to the unit's USB port and establish a console terminal session using a se-
rial communications program.
3. Press the
ENTER key to receive the login prompt.
4. Enter the username (
admin is the default username) and press ENTER.
5. At the Password prompt, enter the password (
admin is the default password). Press ENTER.
Upon successful login, the connection message appears.
6. Enter the configuration mode by typing
configure followed by the ENTER key.
7. Review and configure all key settings for the required application. Built-in help is availa-
ble by pressing the
Tab key. A summary of all unit settings may be viewed by entering the
% show | details command.
Tab Completion Feature
Tab-completion is a powerful feature that provides assistance when typing commands in CLI. De-
pending on the text that was already entered, tab-completion displays different possible comple-
tions. When the Tab key is pressed and no text has been entered, the CLI shows all possible com-
mands that can be typed.
CLI Quick Reference Table
Table 5-1. CLI Quick Reference Table provides a summary listing of commonly needed tasks
and the appropriate commands to enter. The table can be used as a quick reference before con-
sulting the more detailed information, which follows in this section. Each CLI command is pre-
ceded by the symbol
> for operational command, or % for a configuration command.
