2 Using the Command Line Interface
All configurable EnRoute500 parameters can be accessed with a Command Line Interface
(CLI).
The CLI allows you to:
Modify and verify all configuration parameters
Save and restore device configurations
Reboot the device
Upgrade the firmware
2.1 Accessing the CLI
The EnRoute500‟s command-line interface (CLI) is accessible through the device‟s network
interfaces using an SSH client. Any of the network interfaces can be used to establish the SSH
connection to the EnRoute500. However, connecting through the Ethernet port is
recommended for devices that have not previously been configured.
The EnRoute500 has a dedicated configuration interface that is accessible via the Ethernet
port. This interface is present regardless of the EnRoute500‟s standard Ethernet interface
configuration. The IP address and netmask of this interface are provided in Table 4.
Since the configuration IP address (shown in Table 4) is the same for all
EnRoute500s, you should not simultaneously connect multiple EnRoute500s to a
common LAN and attempt to access them using the configuration IP address.

Table 4. EnRoute500 Ethernet configuration interface settings
To use this interface:
1. Configure a computer with an IP address on the 169.254.0.0 subnet
2. Connect the PC to the EnRoute500 using an Ethernet cable. A standard or cross-over
cable will work.
