5-2 P/N 480-0049-00-13Chapter 5: Getting Started: Command Line Interface (CLI)What is the Command Line Interface?The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a Telnet-based (also accessible via serial port) list of menu optionswhich enable you to configure and monitor any Tenor DX unit; you can configure features and capabilitiessuch as numbering plans, channel usage, border element, signaling type, and routing information. In addition,you are also able to monitor system alarms and run diagnostic procedures. CLI attributes enable you to furtherconfigure CLI options; these provide additional configuration items according to the option type.Through the CLI, there are also commands you execute to simplify the process of configuring and monitoringthe Tenor DX unit. Some of these commands are globally used, others are specific to the mode in which youare working. For example, the set command, available globally from within the Configuration mode, enablesyou to set attributes for different options.OptionsSome configuration menu options can have multiple instances. As a result, those option types require an iden-tifier to uniquely define a specific option type. Other options are part of the default system, such as dial plan.You can configure the dial plan and the corresponding attributes, but you cannot create a second dial plan.Default menu options cannot be deleted.Other options are user-defined, such as Signaling Groups. These can be added or removed as necessary; youare able to assign an identifier to each option you create. For example, when creating a new ISDN signalinggroup, you may assign the name 5ESSPRI. From that point, you can enter ISDNSignalingGroup 5ESSPRI andyou will be brought immediately to that option. As a result, you can assign relative names to your options thatclosely represent your actual network.ModesThe CLI is divided into four different modes: Configuration, Maintenance, Monitoring, and Diagnostics. Youcan move from one mode to another according to the function you want to perform. See below for a definitionof each mode.Configuration.
