￿Using CLI Command Scripts ... 18-5

Local and remote access are available through an RS-232 or Ethernet/Telnet link to the Access Navigator (see Figure 18-1). For convenience, the user may also send script files to speed up repetitive tasks (see Using CLI Command Scripts on page 18-5).

CLI over RS-232

The RS-232 interface supports a craft terminal or a computer with a terminal emulation program such as Microsoft HyperTerminal®. Communications travel over a link to the Access Navigator’s RS-232 port.
