Starting and Ending a CLI Session

Open a telnet connection from a workstation on your network.

You initiate a telnet connection by issuing the following command from an IP host that supports telnet, for example, a personal computer running a telnet application such as NCSA Telnet.

telnet <ip_address>

You must know the IP address of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway before you can make a telnet connec- tion to it. By default, your Motorola Netopia® Gateway uses 192.168.1.254 as the IP address for its LAN interface. You can use a Web browser to configure the Motorola Netopia® Gateway IP address.

Logging In

The command line interface log-in process emulates the log-in process for a UNIX host. To logon, enter the username (either admin or user), and your password.

❑Entering the administrator password lets you display and update all Motorola Netopia® Gateway set- tings.

❑Entering a user password lets you display (but not update) Motorola Netopia® Gateway settings.

When you have logged in successfully, the command line interface lists the username and the security level associated with the password you entered in the diagnostic log.

Ending a CLI Session

You end a command line interface session by typing quit from the SHELL node of the command line interface hierarchy.

Saving Settings

In CONFIG mode, the save command saves the working copy of the settings to the Gateway. The Gate- way automatically validates its settings when you save and displays a warning message if the configura- tion is not correct.

save defaults string

This will save the current config options as the new factory defaults. You must supply a comment string to save defaults.

Using the CLI Help Facility

The help command lets you display on-line help for SHELL and CONFIG commands. To display a list of the commands available to you from your current location within the command line interface hierarchy, enter help.

To obtain help for a specific CLI command, type help <command>. You can truncate the help com- mand to h or a question mark when you request help for a CLI command.
