9. Command Line Interface
The iBoot-G2+ Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text based method for communicating with the
iBoot-G2+. The syntax of the CLI uses basic Set (change a variable) and Get (retrieve a variable). The CLI is
accessed either through the Telnet protocol, which requires a Telnet client program, or via USB which requires
a serial communications program. Windows 10 does not include a pre-installed telnet or serial client. You
must enable them within Windows, or use available alternate programs.
Dataprobe has developed a free telnet and serial utility called EZ Terminal. Download is available here:

9.1.
CLI Access
Via Telnet
Open your Telnet client and connect to the IP address set for the iBoot-G2+.
Via USB
Open the console client and connect to the COM port assigned to the iBoot-G2+. The communications
parameters are: 9600bps. 8 data bits. No parity. 1 Stop bit. No Flow Control. Once the connection is made,
send Enter.
The CLI uses the same security options as the web browser. See Passwords/User Settings
section 7.13
for
an explanation of the options for user setup and security.
After the connection is successful, the User> prompt is displayed.
Enter the username: user or admin and press Enter.
The prompt will change to Password>.
Enter the user or admin password and press Enter.
The prompt will change to iBoot>.
This indicates successful login.
Enter commands as needed. (see available list iBoot-G2+ CLI Syntax
section 9.2
below.
When done, enter the logout command.
Note: The telnet session will auto-disconnect if there is no activity. The maximum auto-disconnect time is 8
minutes. If the Auto-Logout setting is shorter than 8 minutes, that setting will apply. To avoid this and use a
longer auto-disconnect time, use a telnet client that periodically sends a No Operation (NOP) command, like
Dtelnet
.
