8. Command Line Interface
The iBoot-DC Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text based method for communicating with the
iBoot. The syntax of the CLI uses a basic Set (change a variable) and Get (retrieve a variable). The CLI is
accessed either through the Telnet protocol, which requires a Telnet client program, or via USB which
requires a serial communications program like Hyperterminal. Dataprobe also provides a simple terminal
program (EZ Term) at http://dataprobe.com/support/iboot.html.
8.1. CLI Access
Via Telnet
Open the Telnet client and connect to the IP address set for the iBoot.
The CLI uses the same security options as the web browser. See section 7.12 for an explanation of the
options for user setup and security.
When connection is successful, the User> prompt is displayed. Enter user or admin and press Enter.
The prompt will change to Password>. Enter the admin or user password and press Enter. The prompt will
change to iBoot>. This indicates successful login. Enter commands as needed. When done, enter the
logout command.
