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:
If the login prompt is not displayed when accessing the CLI via RS-232, 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
