Establishing a secure shell connection to the communication adapter
This interface is accessible when a user makes a ssh (secure shell) connection to the
communication adapter from a PC, either using a direct wired Ethernet connection
or remotely over a local network. If you are using a Mac or Linux / Ubuntu machine,
simply use the ssh utility from the command line terminal with the IP address of the
communication adapter to which you are connecting.
If using Windows, you will need to use a Windows-based ssh (secure shell) client, such as PuTTy,
or another terminal emulator with ssh support.
Interface structure
The CLI command options are organized in a tree structure. At the top level are several
broad categories of actions which then branch down into more specific options, depending
on the previous choice. Until the full command is executed, you can go back a level using
<backspace>
repeatedly. Each branch ends with an action being performed after
<Enter>
.
