Configuring the CTM-200
6.3
Command Line Interface
Command line interface offers quick command entry but requires knowledge of the command structure. The
above section that describes the Web GUI offers a user-friendly interface, and allows easy configuration of
standard device features and simple AVL reports but is limited in scope.
There are approximately 400+ CTM specific commands. All CTM commands are prefixed with “cmd”. The CTM-
200 is running a linux™ operating system based on the 3.2 Linux kernel.
Command line configuration is accomplished by following the steps:
•
Input the appropriate command(s)
“cmd …………”
•
After entering commands issue a save command
“cmd save”
•
Reboot by physically removing power or entering the command
“cmd pwr mode 2”
The Documentation tab of the Web GUI shows the command reference guide. These commands can be entered
in the “Enter command:” box or they can be entered in separate console session using tools like “Putty” terminal
emulator.
In addition to the CTM configuration commands, the CTM-200 provides common GNU/Linux shell and file
utilities accessible through console, telnet or SSH sessions. Shell scripts can be used for custom control and
management, and can be integrated with the CTM-200 to enable triggering of scripts on device-generated
events. The system supports both a FTP server and client, an SSH/SCP server, and a HTTP webserver.
