Overview

The Cayman Gateway operating software includes a command line interface (CLI)
that lets you access your Cayman Gateway over a telnet or console connection.
You can use the command line interface to enter and update the unit’s configura-
tion settings, monitor its performance, and restart it.

The CLI has two major command modes: SHELL and CONFIG. Summary tables
that list the commands are provided below. Details of the entire command set fol-
