CHAPTER 1
Command Line Interface
This chapter describes how to access and use the CLI (Command Line Interface).
1.1 Overview
If you have problems with your NXC, customer support may request that you issue some of
these commands to assist them in troubleshooting.
Use of undocumented commands or misconfiguration can damage the NXC
and possibly render it unusable.
1.1.1 The Configuration File
When you configure the NXC using either the CLI (Command Line Interface) or the web
configurator, the settings are saved as a series of commands in a configuration file on the
NXC. You can store more than one configuration file on the NXC. However, only one
configuration file is used at a time.
You can perform the following with a configuration file:
• Back up NXC configuration once the NXC is set up to work in your network.
• Restore NXC configuration.
• Save and edit a configuration file and upload it to multiple NXCs in your network to have
the same settings.
You may also edit a configuration file using a text editor.
1.2 Accessing the CLI
You can access the CLI using a terminal emulation program on a computer connected to the
console port, from the web configurator or access the NXC using Telnet or SSH (Secure
SHell).

The NXC might force you to log out of your session if reauthentication time,
lease time, or idle timeout is reached. See Chapter 22 on page 143 for more
information about these settings.
1.2.1 Console Port
The default settings for the console port are as follows.
When you turn on your NXC, it performs several internal tests as well as line initialization.
You can view the initialization information using the console port.
• Garbled text displays if your terminal emulation program’s speed is set lower than the
NXC’s.
• No text displays if the speed is set higher than the NXC’s.
• If changing your terminal emulation program’s speed does not get anything to display,
restart the NXC.
• If restarting the NXC does not get anything to display, contact your local customer
support.

1.2.2 Web Configurator Console
The Console allows you to use CLI commands from directly within the Web Configurator
rather than having to use a separate terminal program. In addition to logging in directly to the
NXC’s CLI, you can also log into other devices on the network through this Console. It uses
SSH to establish a connection.
To view the functions in the Web Configurator user interface that correspond
directly to specific NXC CLI commands, use the CLI Messages window
(described in the User’s Guide) in tandem with this one.

The following table describes the elements in this screen.
Before you use the Console, ensure that:
• Your web browser of choice allows pop-up windows from the IP address assigned to your
NXC.
• Your web browser allows Java programs.
• You are using the latest version of the Java program (http://www.java.com).
To login in through the Console:
1Click the Console button on the Web Configurator title bar.
