8. Using the Command Line Interface of the SatLink VSAT
The command line interface can be accessed via either Telnet or the RS-232 port for management of the
SatLink VSAT IDU as well as for showing status and reports.
8.1 CLI User Access Rights
Four levels of CLI user access rights are available for differentiating user privileges:
• Level 2: installer
• Level 3-5: end users
When shipped from the factory, one user is pre-configured in the SatLink VSAT:
User name Factory default password Privilege level
install dvbrcs 2
When accessing the CLI via RS-232, if the login prompt is not displayed type
<ENTER>. The login
prompt
Login: should then be displayed. Then login with the install user:
Login: install
Password: dvbrcs
When the command prompt is displayed you will now have access to the CLI with privilege level 2.
New users may be added with the CLI command
user add, existing users deleted with the CLI
command
user del, and the password of the current user or users with lower privilege levels can be
changed with the CLI command
user passwd. To list all defined users with lower privilege level than
the user currently logged in, use the CLI command
user show. Type ? user to get further help on the
user commands.
For security reasons we recommend that you change the factory set password to your own personal one.
8.2 Online Help
In the CLI a list of available commands can be displayed by typing ? <ENTER> (question mark and the
ENTER key). The CLI command groups will then be shown:
