You begin in SHELL mode when you star t a CLI session. SHELL mode lets you per form the following tasks
with your Motorola Netopia® Gateway:
•
Monitor its per formance
•
Display and reset Gateway statistics
•
Issue administrative commands to restar t Motorola Netopia® Gateway functions
SHELL Prompt
When you are in SHELL mode, the CLI prompt is the name of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway followed by a
right angle bracket (>). For example, if you open a CLI connection to the Motorola Netopia® Gateway named
“Netopia-3000/9437188,” you would see
Netopia-3000/9437188>
as your CLI prompt.
SHELL Command Shortcuts
You can
truncate most commands in the CLI to their shortest unique string. For example, you can use the
truncated command
q
in place of the full
quit
command to exit the CLI. However, you would need to enter
rese
for the
reset
command, since the first characters of
reset
are common to the
restart
command.
The only commands you cannot truncate are
restart
and
clear
. To prevent accidental interruption of com-
munications, you must enter the
restart
and
clear
commands in their entirety.
You can use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll backward and for ward through recent commands you
have entered. Alternatively, you can use the
!!
command to repeat the last command you entered.
