1.2
Working with the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Introduction
All the configuration settings for the device can be made using the Command Line Interface
(CLI). The CLI therefore provides the same options as Web Based Management (WBM).
You should read the detailed explanations of the parameters in the configuration manual
"SCALANCE S615 Web Based Management". The CLI allows remote configuration over
Telnet.
Note
Use with Windows 7
If you want to access the Command Line Interface in Windows 7, make sure that the
functions required for this are enabled in Windows 7.
Starting the CLI in a Windows console
Follow the steps outlined below to start the Command Line Interface in a Windows console:
1.
Open a Windows console and type in the command "telnet" followed by the IP address of
the device you are configuring:
C:\>telnet <IP address>
2.
Enter your login and password.
As an alternative, you can also enter the command "telnet" followed by the IP address of the
device you are configuring in the Start > Run menu.
Note
Requirement for use of the CLI
You should only use the command line interface if you are an experienced user.
Even commands that bring about fundamental changes to the configuration are executed
without a prompt for confirmation.
Errors in the configuration can mean that no further operation is possible in the entire
network.
