NOTE
Quotes are not required and Linux will not ask you to repeat your password.
6.4
Remote Station Display
Console access to a remote radio is password protected. The username “operator” is limited to
status commands without access to configuration commands, “admin” provides access to the
CLI status and configuration commands, while “root” provides unrestricted file system access
and Linux OS commands.
In a live network, commentary and progress reports are sent to the console port as status
information. For this reason, local console access can often appear cluttered and confusing.
Wherever possible, it is recommended that Ethernet access, either remotely or locally via the
Ethernet port is used.
6.5
Radio Ethernet Access
Remote radios support SSH for Ethernet access which is password protected. The user
“operator” is limited to status commands without access to configuration commands, “admin”
provides access to the CLI status AND configuration commands, while “root” provides
unrestricted file system access and Linux OS commands.
More advanced users familiar with the Linux Operating System will find a subset of standard
commands, some with limited functionality that may be used for system navigation and file
manipulation in the online application partition.
The open-source tool WinSCP as described in the following section may provide a more familiar
environment for Windows users.
