Starting and Ending a CLI Session
Open a telnet connection from a workstation on your network.
You initiate a telnet connection by issuing the following command from an IP host that supports telnet, for exam-
ple, a personal computer running a telnet application such as NCSA Telnet.
telnet < ip_address >
You must know the IP address of the Motorola Gateway before you can make a telnet connection to it. By default,
your Motorola Gateway uses 192.168.1.254 as the IP address for its LAN interface. You can use a Web browser
to configure the Motorola Gateway IP address.
Logging In
The command line interface log-in process emulates the log-in process for a UNIX host. To logon, enter the user-
name and your password.
Entering the administrator password lets you display and update all Motorola Gateway settings.
When you have logged in successfully, the command line interface lists the username and the security level asso-
ciated with the password you entered in the diagnostic log.
