A. Command Line Interface

Navigating the Router’s CLI
The Hotwire DSL router’s CLI uses the following keys (as do most terminal
emulation programs):
Enter or Return – Accepts the input.
Ctrl-c – Aborts the entry or clears the input line.
Down Arrow – Repeats an entry within the last five entries made.
Up Arrow – Displays the last entry.
Left Arrow – Moves the insertion point one space to the left.
Right Arrow – Moves the insertion point one space to the right.
Command Recall
The router keeps a history of the last several commands entered on the CLI. For
example, if you press the Up Arrow key, the most recently entered command
appears on the command line, where it can be edited and reentered by pressing
Enter. If you press the Up Arrow key again, the next most recent command
appears, etc.
After pressing the Up Arrow key one or more times, pressing the Down Arrow key
moves down the list of recent commands, wrapping past the end of the list in either
direction.
Commands appearing in the command line can be edited. Use the Left and Right
Arrow keys to move the insertion point, enter the new characters or use the Delete
key to delete the character just to the left of the insertion point.

The following conventions are used in command line syntax throughout this
manual. With the exception to the Login ID and Password, the CLI is not
