Console Commands

The following tables describe the console commands available from the internal command console. Access the command console through the serial port (if enabled for console mode) or over the network using a Telnet session or a web browser. The console can also be accessed via UART level signals on connector CN5 on the Serial Device Server printed circuit board (this requires you to open the Serial Device Server enclosure and use a special cable and adapter board; it should only be used by qualified Silex personnel for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes).
