This chapter describes how to access and use the CLI (Command Line Interface).
1.1 Overview
If you have problems with your NXC, customer support may request that you issue some of
these commands to assist them in troubleshooting.
Use of undocumented commands or misconfiguration can damage the NXC
and possibly render it unusable.
1.1.1 The Configuration File
When you configure the NXC using either the CLI (Command Line Interface) or the web
configurator, the settings are saved as a series of commands in a configuration file on the
NXC. You can store more than one configuration file on the NXC. However, only one
configuration file is used at a time.
You can perform the following with a configuration file:
• Back up NXC configuration once the NXC is set up to work in your network.
• Restore NXC configuration.
• Save and edit a configuration file and upload it to multiple NXCs in your network to have
the same settings.
You may also edit a configuration file using a text editor.
1.2 Accessing the CLI
You can access the CLI using a terminal emulation program on a computer connected to the
console port, from the web configurator or access the NXC using Telnet or SSH (Secure
SHell).
