Accessing the Device Through the CLI

You can manage the device using CLI commands, over a direct connection to
the terminal console, or via a Telnet connection.
Direct Connection
Connect the device to the console and enter the CLI commands upon
receiving a prompt.
Telnet Connection
Telnet is a terminal emulation TCP/IP protocol. RS-232 terminals can be
virtually connected to the local device through a TCP/IP protocol network.
Telnet is an alternative to a local login terminal, where a remote login is
required.
The device supports up to four simultaneous Telnet sessions. All CLI
commands can be used over a Telnet session.
If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure that the device has an IP address
and that software has been downloaded to the device.
To start a Telnet session:
1 Select Start > Run.
The Run window opens.
2 Type cmd.
The cmd window opens.
3 In the cmd window, type Telnet
The Telnet session begins.
