8. Command Line Interface
The iBoot-G2+ Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text based method for communicating with the iBoot.
The syntax of the CLI uses a basic Set (change a variable) and Get (retrieve a variable). The CLI is accessed
either through the Telnet protocol, which requires a Telnet client program, or via USB which requires a serial
communications program like Hyperterminal. Dataprobe also provides a simple terminal program (EZ Term) at
http://dataprobe.com/support/iboot.html
.
8.1. CLI
Access
Via Telnet
Open the Telnet client and connect to the IP address set for the iBoot.
Via USB
Open the console client and connect to the COM port assigned to the iBoot-G2+. The communications
parameters are: 9600bps. 8 data bits. No parity. 1 Stop bit. No Flow Control. Once the connection is made,
send Enter.
The CLI uses the same security options as the web browser. See section 7.12 for an explanation of the
options for user setup and security.
When connection is successful, the User> prompt is displayed. Enter user or admin and press Enter. The
prompt will change to Password>. Enter the admin or user password and press Enter. The prompt will change
to iBoot>. This indicates successful login. Enter commands as needed. When done, enter the logout
command.
