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 example, a personal computer running a telnet application such as NCSA Telnet.
telnet <ip_address>
You must know the IP address of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway before you can make a telnet connec-
tion to it. By default, your Motorola Netopia® Gateway uses 192.168.1.254 as the IP address for its
LAN interface. You can use a Web browser to configure the Motorola Netopia® 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 username (either admin or user), and your password.
◆
Entering the administrator password lets you display and update all Motorola Netopia® Gateway set-
tings.
◆
Entering a user password lets you display (but not update) Motorola Netopia® Gateway settings.
When you have logged in successfully, the command line interface lists the username and the security
level associated with the password you entered in the diagnostic log.

Ending a CLI Session

You end a command line interface session by typing
interface hierarchy.

Saving Settings

In CONFIG mode, the save command saves the working copy of the settings to the Gateway. The Gate-
way automatically validates its settings when you save and displays a warning message if the configura-
tion is not correct.
save defaults string
This will save the current config options as the new factory defaults. You must supply a comment string
to save defaults.

Using the CLI Help Facility

The help command lets you display on-line help for SHELL and CONFIG commands. To display a list of
the commands available to you from your current location within the command line interface hierarchy,
enter help .
To obtain help for a specific CLI command, type
