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 serial communi-
cations 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 available 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. Depend-
ing on the text that was already entered, tab-completion displays different possible completions. When the
Tab key is pressed and no text has been entered, the CLI shows all possible commands that can be typed.
5.3.1 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 consulting the more
detailed information, which follows in this section. Each CLI command is preceded by the symbol
> for
operational command, or
% for a configuration command.
