9.2.1 CLI Menu System – Parallel Functionality
The CLI, accessible via Telnet and SSH, allows the user to change operating parameters in a
manner similar to the functionality, as provided, for the monitoring, configuration, and control via the
SLM-5650B Satellite Modem’s front panel menus (see Chapter 5. FRONT PANEL OPERATION)
and NP Module HTTP/HTTPS Interfaces (see Chapter Sect. 8.6 Network Processor (NP)

9.2.2 CLI Menu – Common Information, Navigation, Operation Features
Certain operational menu selections are visible/selectable only when that FAST feature has been
purchased and enabled for operation. The menu pages that follow show all available options as
