4.2 Command
Line
Interface
This section explains the Command Line Interface (CLI) used with the MWI-5000
System.
Note:
Although the CLI can be used to change settings while the MWI-5000
System is running, we recommend that it be stopped before making changes
and restarted once the changes have been made. Changes do not take affect
until the system is restarted. The system uses NICs that require significant
processor power while running, which limits the time available to the CLI and
causes it to miss occasional characters.

•

4.2.2 Getting
Started

terminal equipment attached to the serial port will display a login prompt. Type
admin

for the password and press Enter
again. This will bring the prompt
