Configuration Using Web Based Management and the Command Line Interface
6.1.4 Command Line Interface
Starting the CLI in a Windows Console
Follow the steps outlined below to start the Command Line Interface in a Windows
console:
● Open a Windows console and type in the command telnet followed by the IP
address of the SCALANCE W 788:
C:\>telnet <IP address>
● Enter your login and password.
Starting the CLI in Web Based Management
Click on the Console entry in the upper menu bar of Web Based Management. A
console window opens in which you can enter CLI commands directly. The IP ad-
dress is adopted by Web Based Management and you already entered the logon
data to start WBM.
Shortcuts for Commands
As an alternative, instead of entering full CLI commands, you can simply enter the
first letter or the first few letters and then press the Tab key. The Command Line
Interface then displays a command starting with the letter or letters you typed in. If
the command displayed is not the command you require, press the Tab key again
to display the next command.
Directory Structure
Before you can enter a command in the Command Line Interface, you must first
open the required menu or submenu. This section lists the commands of each
menu in a separate table. The menu itself is shown above the table on a gray
background. The table lists only the commands themselves.
