Mesh Point CLI and Administrative Access
2.1 Mesh Point CLI
NOTE: Fortress
Mesh Point fea-
tures and functions are
described in greater
detail in the Software
GUI Guide.
The Fortress Mesh Point’s command-line interface provides a
complete set of commands for managing the Fortress Mesh
Point and the network it secures, through a direct connection to
the Mesh Point’s serial console port or remotely, through the
Mesh Point’s encrypted or clear zone, using Secure Shell
(SSH).
Up and down (
↑↓) arrow keys scroll through the command
history for a given CLI session, and the left and right (←→)
arrow keys navigate the current command line. If your terminal
keyboard is not equipped with arrow keys, you can use these
keyboard equivalents:
NOTE: These keys
may function dif-
ferently based on set-
tings in your terminal
emulation software.
The Tab key auto-completes partial commands sufficient to
uniquely identify the command.
Mesh Point CLI commands return
[OK]
when settings are
successfully changed and an
[Error]
message, including a
brief description of the error, when commands fail.
The
clear command clears the CLI display.
Lengthy CLI output can be scrolled one screen a time, in most
cases, by appending
more to the command and then paging
through the output with
Enter or the space bar.
Strike
Ctrl-c
to truncate scrolled output or to quit an interactive
command without making changes.
