About SHELL Commands

You begin in SHELL mode when you start a CLI session. SHELL mode lets you perform the following tasks with your Motorola Netopia® Gateway:

❑Monitor its performance

❑Display and reset Gateway statistics

❑Issue administrative commands to restart Motorola Netopia® Gateway functions

SHELL Prompt

When you are in SHELL mode, the CLI prompt is the name of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway followed by a right angle bracket (>). For example, if you open a CLI connection to the Motorola Netopia® Gate- way named “Netopia-3000/9437188,” you would see Netopia-3000/9437188>as your CLI prompt.

SHELL Command Shortcuts

You can truncate most commands in the CLI to their shortest unique string. For example, you can use the truncated command q in place of the full quit command to exit the CLI. However, you would need to enter rese for the reset command, since the first characters of reset are common to the restart command.

The only commands you cannot truncate are restart and clear. To prevent accidental interruption of communications, you must enter the restart and clear commands in their entirety.

You can use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll backward and forward through recent commands you have entered. Alternatively, you can use the !! command to repeat the last command you entered.
