Introduction

In this chapter

This chapter describes the commands defined by the controller Command Line Interface (CLI).
Access the CLI (on the supported Mobility RFS6000 Controller and Mobility RFS7000 Controller
models) by running a terminal emulation program on a computer connected to the serial port on
the front of the controller, or by using a Telnet session via secure shell (SSH) to access the
controller over the network. The default CLI user designation is cli. The default username and
password are admin and admin123 respectively.
To avoid confusion amongst Mobility RFS6000 Controller and Mobility RFS7000 Controller CLI
users, generic examples are used throughout this guide. These examples are relevant to each
controller.
Example
The CLI syntax, parameters and descriptions within this guide can also be used generically for a
Mobility RFS4000 Controller, Mobility RFS6000 Controller and Mobility RFS7000 Controller model.
However, some subtle differences do exist amongst these baselines. These differences are noted
within the specific commands impacted. When these differences are noted, the options available
to each controller baseline are described in detail.

CLI overview

The CLI is used for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the controller managed network. The
user interface allows you to execute commands (on the supported Mobility RFS4000 Controller,
Mobility RFS6000 Controller and Mobility RFS7000 Controller models) using either a serial console
or a remote access method.
This chapter describes the basic features of the CLI. Topics covered include an introduction to
command modes, navigation and editing features, help features, and command history.
