Command Line Interface
Configuration settings within GAI-Tronics VoIP telephones can be changed by typing
commands into a Command Line Interface (CLI).
This section describes the syntax required for CLI commands. Generally, the CLI commands
match those used in configuration files. Therefore the feature descriptions listed below may
be abbreviated. For fuller descriptions refer to the sections on the relevant web pages or
configuration file syntax.
The CLI can be accessed in 2 ways:
• Over a direct serial link via the integral serial port
• Via a Telnet session over the network
Generally speaking, the CLI is not the preferred access method, but it may offer advantages
in certain circumstances. In particular it offers a method of accessing the telephone and
discovering the IP address if it has been lost. (Password security is maintained).
To start a CLI session via serial link, connect a standard RS232 serial cable between the
telephone and a PC serial port, and connect using a terminal program such as
HyperTerminal. The default port settings are 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Note that the speed can be changed (See the Serial Settings web page section).
A CLI session can also be started by entering “Telnet 192.168.1.2” from a command prompt
on a computer that can see the telephone on the network (substitute the IP address if it has
been changed).
The behaviour of the CLI is the same regardless of the access method, and its first response
is to request the USERNAME and PASSWORD.
