Command-Line Interfaces.
This section describes command modes and functions that allow you to operate the XLR500 CLI.
4.2.1.
Accessing the CLI
You can access the CLI from a console terminal connected to
“
CONSOLE
”
port or through a telnet
session.
After connecting through the console port or a telnet session, you see this display (You may have to
press Enter key more than once to allow the console to synchronize with the device.).

prompt (press the enter

4.2.1.
Accessing the Privileged Mode
The CLI has two modes of operation: normal and privileged. Both are password-protected.
Use normal-mode commands for everyday system monitoring. Use privileged commands for system
configuration and basic troubleshooting.
After you log in, the system enters normal mode, which gives you access to normal-mode commands
only. You can enter privileged mode by entering the
enable
command followed by the admin
password. Privileged mode is indicated by the word
“
enable
”
in the system prompt. To return to
normal mode, enter the
exit
command at the prompt.
