9. Command Line Interface
The iBoot-WiFi Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text based method for communicating with the iBoot. The
syntax of the CLI uses a 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
like Hyperterminal. Dataprobe also provides a simple terminal program (EZ Term) at

9.1. CLI Access
Via Telnet
Open the Telnet client and connect to the IP address set for the iBoot.
The CLI uses the same security options as the web browser. See Section 7.7 for an explanation of the options for user
setup and security.
When connection is successful, the User> prompt is displayed. Enter user or admin and press Enter. The prompt will
change to Password>. Enter the admin or user password and press Enter. The prompt will change to iBoot>. This
indicates successful login. Enter commands as needed. When done, enter the logout command.
