2. User Interface and Basic Operation

Navigating the Router’s CLI

Access the FrameSaver DSL Router’s Command Line Interface by pressing the Shift-r function key from the Main Menu. There is no need to press Ctrl-a first to access the function keys area of the screen.

Once the CLI is accessed, you can use keyboard keys to navigate within the interface. Using the router’s CLI, you can display and edit router configuration settings, view router status, and access router tests.

For details of all CLI commands and the conventions used when entering commands, see Appendix C, Router CLI Commands, Codes, and Designations. For a summary of abbreviated (minimal) command entries and their default settings, see Appendix D, Router Command Line Summaries and Shortcuts.
