1. Connect a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to one of the device server's 

serial ports.

The CLI is organized into a hierarchy of levels. Each level has a group of commands for a specific 
purpose. For example, to configure a setting for the FTP server, one would navigate to the FTP 
level, which is under the configuration level.



To move to a different level—Enter the name of the level from within its parent level. For 
example, to enter the tunnel level, type tunnel <number> at the enable prompt. This 
displays: <enable> tunnel <number>#.



To exit and return to one level higher—Type exit and press the Enter key. Typing exit at the 
login level or the enable level will close the CLI session.

To view the list of commands available for a partial command—Type the partial command 
followed by the question mark "?". For example: <tunnel-1>#show? displays a list of all 
echo commands at the tunnel level.



To view available commands and their explanations for a partial command—Type the partial 
command followed by the asterisk (*). For example: <tunnel-1>#show* displays a list of all 
echo commands and descriptions at the tunnel level.
