CLI Command List
SCREEN
Name: Screen Size
Purpose: Set or show the size of the CRT screen in lines. (The screen always has 80 columns.)
This command allows the display to show a fixed number of lines before halting and
waiting for a user prompt. A value of zero produces continuous scrolling text without
stopping.
Security: ro and above
Syntax: screen [lines]
Example: screen 24
Set the screen display to 24 lines.
Example: screen 0
Enable screen to scroll without stopping. (This setting is useful when capturing
configuration settings and reports to a text file.)
NOTE: With continuous scrolling, it may be necessary to adjust the terminal program
buffer size to capture any lines that scroll off the viewing area.
SECURITY
Name: Security Password Protection
Purpose: Enable or disable password protection.
NOTE: The factory default is usually OFF so that installers can quickly configure the
unit. However, this setting can be changed or preset to ON, so that the user must enter a
password if one has been defined. For added security, this setting is not affected by the
restore defaults command.
Field Description
screen Use the command by itself to show the current setting
lines Set number of lines to display on each screen. A value of zero will

specified number of lines and displays a “more” prompt. Pressing
Enter key displays one more line. Pressing the Space Bar displays the
next 24 lines. Pressing Escape key clears any remaining text.
