graphical point-and-click interface. The advantages to this method are ease of use and

CLI
The EDS provides a command-line interface (CLI) designed to enable the configuration
and systems management functions that can also be performed through the Web
Manager and XML interfaces. To configure the EDS using the CLI, you must either start
an SSH or Telnet session or use a terminal or a computer attached to one of the EDS
serial ports or the console port on the EDS8/16/32PR.

serial ports or the console port on the EDS8/16/32PR.
The difference between the SSH/Telnet and serial interfaces is the physical connection
paths to the EDS. With an SSH/Telnet session, you can configure the unit without having
to be in the same location as the EDS. The serial-interface method, however, requires a
terminal or computer to be attached to an available EDS serial port. This means the
terminal or computer must be in the same location as the EDS.

Note:
Before using SSH, you must first load or generate RSA or DSA keys.
