3.Type: mknod /dev/ACS_CDEV0 c 253 0 [Enter], a device file “ACS_CDEV0” will be created and CLI will be able to find the controller through this device file.

2.2 Execution Mode

There are two methods to run CLI commands - interactive mode and non-interactive mode. For each mode, all commands and parameters must follow the CLI command format to be executed normally.

2.2.1 Interactive Mode

To trigger CLI interactive mode, simply run the CLI execution file under the command line of the OS. If the controller has been found, a password verification prompt for the default controller will appear. After inputting the correct password, the CLI prompt “CLI>” will appear. All CLI commands can be executed under this prompt.

2.2.2 Non-interactive Mode

There are two types of non-interactive mode for CLI. One calls the CLI command "RunScript" to execute pre-written script files which contain bunches of CLI commands. The other one calls CLI commands by adding them as the parameter of the CLI execution file individually.

The scripts of both types of non-interactive mode are written based on the following format:

acs_cli <CLI command> [Parameters of the CLI command]

which can be executed as a single command under the command line of the OS.
