54 Installing the Access Gateway
Making Menu Selections and Inputting Data with the CLI
The CLI is character-based. It recognizes the fewest unique characters it needs to correctly
identify an entry. For example, in the
Access Gateway Menu you need only enter c to access the
Configuration menu, but you must enter su to access the Subscribers menu and sy to access
the System menu (because they both start with the letter “s”).
You may also do any of the following:

Enter
b
(back) or press
Esc
(escape) to return to a previous menu.

Press
Esc
to abort an action at any time.

Press
Enter
to redisplay the current menu.

Press
?
at any time to access the CLI’s Help screen.
When using the CLI, if a procedure asks you to “enter sn,” this means you must type sn and
press the
Enter
key. The system does not accept data or commands until you hit the Enter key.
Menu Organization (Web Management Interface)
When you have successfully installed and configured the Access Gateway from the CLI, you
can then access the Access Gateway from its embedded Web Management Interface (WMI).
The WMI is easier to use (point and click) and includes some items not found in the CLI. You
can use either interface, depending on your preference.
For a complete description of all features available in the WMI, see “Using the Web
Management Interface (WMI)” on page 80 .
The following “composite” screen shows how the Access Gateway’s WMI menus (folders) are
organized (shown here side-by-side for clarity and space). See also,
“About Your Product
License” on page 82 .
Although the basic functional elements are the same, the CLI and the WMI have
some minor content and organizational differences. For example, in the WMI the
“subscribers” menu is divided into “Subscriber Administration” and
“Subscriber Interface.” See also,
“Menu Organization (Web Management
Interface)” on page 54 .
