9. Command Line Interface
The iBoot-PoE-P Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text based method for communicating with the iBoot -PoE-P. 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. Dataprobe provides a simple Telnet Client program (EZ Term) at

9.1. CLI Access
Open the Telnet client and connect to the IP address set for the iBoot-PoE-P
.
The CLI uses the same security options as the web browser. See section 5.7 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.
Note: The telnet session will auto-disconnect if there is no activity. The maximum auto-disconnect time is 8 minutes. If the Auto-Logout setting is
shorter than 8 minutes, that setting will apply. To avoid this and use a longer auto-disconnect time, use a telnet client that periodically sends a No
Operation (NOP) command, like
9.2.
