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 connection to it. By default, your Motorola Netopia® Gateway uses 192.168.1.254 as the IP address for its LAN inter- face. You can use a Web browser to configure the Motorola Netopia® Gateway IP address.
Logging In
The command line interface
•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 inter- face hierarchy.
