1 Introduction

Chapter 1

This book provides the command line interface (CLI) options available for the IOLAN. The commands are grouped by function.

CLI Conventions

This section explains how to interpret the CLI syntax. If you are an existing IOLAN+ customer and would like to configure the IOLAN in the native IOLAN+ interface, you can type the command iolan+ to display and use the native IOLAN+ interface (you must have User Level Admin). See your IOLAN+ User Guide for information on using the IOLAN+ interface.

Command Syntax

Each command is broken down into several categories:

zDescription—Provides a brief explanation of how the command is used.

zUser Level—Shows which user level(s) (Restricted, Normal, and/or Admin) can issue the command. Some commands have options that are available for one user level and not for another level; this usually occurs when a command is valid for both Normal and Admin user levels, where the Admin user level command will have extended options.

zSyntax—Shows the actual command line options. The options can be typed in any order on the command line. The syntax explanation will use the following command to break down the command syntax:

set service [dhcp/bootp onoff] [telnetd onoff] [httpd onoff] [snmpd onoff] [spcd onoff] [syslog onoff] [dmgrd onoff]

–Square brackets ([]) show the options that are available for the command. You can type a command with each option individually, or string options together in any order you want. For example,

set service dhcp/bootp on telnetd off

–Angle brackets (<>) show that the text inside the brackets is a description for a variable value that you must fill in according to your requirements. In the set server command, you must determine the values for domain, internet, name, password-limit, and subnet-bit-length, if you wish to specify them and not use their defaults (default values provided in the Options description). The angle brackets can also contain a range that can be used.

–The pipe () shows an ’or’ condition. For example, valid values for telnetd are either on or off.

zOptions—Provides an explanation of each of the options for a command and the default value if there is one. Some commands do not have any options, so this category is absent.

CSS specifications

Perle Systems, a well-established provider of networking and IoT solutions, offers the innovative Perle CSS (ClearSky Services) platform, designed to facilitate efficient and secure device management. This powerful solution aims to address the challenges of managing a diverse range of devices connected to the Internet, particularly in enterprise, industrial, and M2M (Machine-to-Machine) environments.

One of the main features of the Perle CSS is its robust device management capabilities. Administrators can remotely monitor, configure, and control devices in real-time. This means that troubleshooting can be conducted without the need for physical access, significantly reducing operational downtime. Additionally, the platform supports bulk provisioning, allowing organizations to onboard multiple devices simultaneously, which streamlines the deployment process.

Another notable feature is its security architecture. Perle Systems has integrated advanced security protocols to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data transmitted between devices. The use of virtual private networks (VPNs), secure socket layer (SSL) encryption, and secure shell (SSH) protocols ensures that sensitive information remains protected from unauthorized access while in transit.

The Perle CSS also stands out for its compatibility with various communication protocols, including MQTT, RESTful APIs, and others. This interoperability allows organizations to integrate the CSS platform seamlessly with their existing systems, facilitating efficient data exchange and interoperability between different devices and applications.

Moreover, Perle CSS adopts a cloud-based architecture, which provides users with the flexibility to access device information from any location. This cloud integration enhances scalability, allowing businesses to expand their network capabilities without the need for extensive infrastructure investments.

The platform's user-friendly interface simplifies navigation, allowing users to manage devices effectively without requiring extensive technical expertise. With customizable dashboards and real-time analytics, administrators can gain valuable insights into device performance, network status, and usage patterns.

In summary, Perle Systems' CSS offers a comprehensive solution for managing connected devices in a secure and efficient manner. Its key features, including robust device management, advanced security, protocol compatibility, and a cloud-based architecture make it an ideal choice for enterprises looking to enhance their IoT capabilities and streamline operations in an increasingly connected world.
