Chapter 5: Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

This chapter shows how to work with the firmware CLI (version 8.0x or later) for the PRO2.

Logging In

Logging in through Telnet requires directing the Telnet client to the configured IP address of the unit.
A login through the console (RS232) port requires the use of a terminal or terminal emulation software configured to
support ANSI or VT100, and a supported data rate of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9699, 19200, 38400, 57600, or
115200 bps (default rate is 9600); 8 data bits-no parity, 1 stop bit, and device ready output signal (DTR or DSR).
To login by Telnet or RS232 (CLI):
At the command prompt, initiate a Telnet session (telnet [IP address]). The Telnet session automatically opens the
login prompt, showing the current product and firmware version.
The default administrative-level user login (admn/admn) was used for this example.
Press Enter.
The command line prompt, such as "Smart PDU:" (for Rack Power Distribution Unit) in this example, displays for
the PRO2 product, and you are now logged into the firmware Command Line Interface (CLI).
If a location identifier was user-defined, that location will also be displayed, as shown in the example.

Quick Tour of the Command Line

The features and requirements of the command line are presented in this section.

Running Commands

To run a command, type the command, and while it is displayed on the command line, press Enter.
When a command is used to edit configuration settings, the values will be updated immediately.
Commands can be typed in any combination of uppercase and lowercase characters. All characters in the
command must be entered correctly and command abbreviations are invalid.
If an invalid command or an incorrectly typed command is entered, one of the following messages displays:
• "Invalid parameter" with a display of the correct menu options, or
• "[command] is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file."
