Arris 2247N8 User Manual

You begin in SHELL mode when you start a CLI session. SHELL mode lets you perform the following tasks with 

your Motorola Netopia

®

 Gateway: 

◆

Monitor its performance 

◆

Display and reset Gateway statistics

◆

Issue administrative commands to restart Motorola Netopia® Gateway functions 

When you are in SHELL mode, the CLI prompt is the name of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway followed by a right 
angle bracket (>). For example, if you open a CLI connection to the Motorola Netopia® Gateway named “Netopia-
3000/9437188,” you would see 

 as your CLI prompt.

You can truncate most commands in the CLI to their shortest unique string. For example, you can use the trun-
cated command 

 in place of the full 

 command to exit the CLI. However, you would need to enter 

 for 

the 

 command, since the first characters of 

 are common to the 

command.

The only commands you cannot truncate are 

 and 

. To prevent accidental interruption of communi-

cations, you must enter the 

 and 

commands in their entirety.

You can use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll backward and forward through recent commands you have 
entered. Alternatively, you can use the 

 command to repeat the last command you entered.
