The Management Interfaces (CLI and Web)
The Access Gateway supports various methods for managing the system
remotely. These include, an embedded graphical Web Management Interface
(WMI), an SNMP client, or Telnet. However, until the unit is installed and
running, system management is performed from the Access Gateway's embedded
CLI via a direct serial cable connection. The CLI can also be accessed remotely.
Until the unit is installed on the customer's network and a remote connection is established, the
CLI is the administrator's window to the system. This is where you establish all the Access
Gateway start-up configuration parameters, depending on the customer's network architecture.
The Access Gateway Menu is your starting point. From here, you access all the system
administration items from the 5 (five) primary menus available:
Configuration
Network Info
Port-location
Subscribers
System
Although the basic functional elements are the same, the CLI and the WMI have
some minor content and organizational differences. For example, in the WMI the
"subscribers" menu is divided into "Subscriber Administration" and
"Subscriber Interface." See also,

Making Menu Selections and Inputting Data with the CLI
The CLI is character-based. It recognizes the fewest unique characters it needs to correctly
identify an entry. For example, in the Access Gateway Menu you need only enter
the Configuration menu, but you must enter
access the System menu (because they both start with the letter "s").
