Navigating the Router’s CLI
Access the iMarc DSL Router’s Command Line Interface by pressing the Shift-r
function key from the Main Menu. There is no need to press Ctrl-a first to access
the function keys area of the screen.
Once the CLI is accessed, you can use keyboard keys to navigate within the
interface. Using the router’s CLI, you can display and edit router configuration
settings, view router status, and access router tests.
