Command-line interface
ConnectPort LTS products can be configured by issuing commands from the command line. The
command-line interface allows communication directly without a graphical interface. For example,
the following is a command issued from the command line to set general serial configuration
options:
#> set serial port=1-32 baudrate=9600 flowcontrol=hardware
Advantages of the command-line interface include:
 Flexibility. Although the command-line Interface is for experienced users and considered
complex, it allows flexibility for precise configuration alterations.
 Direct communication to device or system.
Disadvantages of the command-line interface include:
 Users must have experience issuing commands.
 Command documentation is required.
 The command line allows the greatest flexibility to configure ConnectPort LTS products, but is
also considered complex.
The command line is available through Telnet or SSH TCP/IP connections, or through serial port
using terminal emulation software such as Hyperterminal. Access to the command line from serial
ports depends on the port profile in use by the port.
See "Configuration through the command line" for more information on this interface.
See the ConnectPort LTS Command Reference for command descriptions and examples of entering
configuration commands from the command-line interface. In addition, online help is available for
the commands, through the help and ? commands.
