Chapter 2 - Getting Started

your cable and power connections, and successfully powered up your system following
the instructions in the SMS2000 Quick Start Guide.
This chapter presents information and procedures to help you:
•
Communicate and interface with your system
•
Use the online help system

The User Interface

The command line interface (CLI) allows you configure your SMS2000 system. The
interface looks the same whether you are communicating with the SMS2000 through the
console port, a modem, or a telnet connection. Listed below are other things to consider
when using the SMS2000 CLI:
•
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is not case-sensitive.
•
Commands can be truncated so that only the first few unique characters need to be
entered.
For example, the command show configuration may be entered as show conf, sho
conf, or show configuration.
