General guidelines
When logging on to the AIR-104/204, the user will see a system sign-on message,
followed by a password prompt:
Acer Router Manager Console Version: rev_no build_date_time
Please enter your password: ********
As outlined in
Chapter 4
, the default password is “
password
”. If you are logging onto the
system for the first time, key in the default password; you may change the password later
to one of your own choosing. At all times, the password for the CLI is identical to the
password for the ICC; if you change one, then you will also change the other at the same
time. Please note that the password is case-sensitive. As you type in the password,
your keystrokes will be echoed as asterisks (*). When you hit the Carriage Return, the
password you have entered will be tested against the current password. If the password
string is validated, the command prompt will be displayed:
Command>
The user may now begin to issue commands. Most of the commands are single-line
commands, and no commands are context-sensitive: each command is independent of
other commands before or after it.
While entering commands with the CLI, please make a note of the following general
guidelines:
• At any time, the user may type a “ ?” (preceded by a space) to request for help
concerning what the user can enter next. If the CLI is expecting a keyword when the
user types “?”, then all valid keywords will be displayed for selection, and the
unfinished command will be re-displayed withe cursor at the end for the user to finish
the input.
• Instead of entering a full keyword, the user may simply enter the first part of the
keyword and then hit
tab
or
space
; the system will automatically complete the
keyword, unless the characters entered thus far do not uniquely identify a keyword,
in which case nothing will happen. If the user is unsure how to complete the
keyword, she may simply type as many characters as she knows, followed by a “?”;
the system will then display all valid keywords which match the partial input.
• At any time, the user can type control-p (^p, by pressing both the Ctrl key and the
^p key at the same time) to repeat the previous command, or control-n to return to
