Shortcuts for commands
As an alternative, instead of entering full CLI commands, you can simply enter the first letter
or the first few letters and then press the Tab key. The Command Line Interface then
displays a command starting with the letter or letters you typed in. If the command displayed
is not the command you require, press the Tab key again to display the next command.
Directory structure
Before you can enter a command in the Command Line Interface, you must first open the
required menu or submenu. This section lists the commands of each menu in a separate
table. The table lists only the commands themselves.
