12 Airborne CLI Reference Manual 100-8081-100
3.0 Scope
The CLI Reference Manual documents the Command Line Interface (CLI) for the
Airborne Device Server family of products. This document is an addendum to the
Airborne CLI reference manual and describes the commands introduced with the
Enterprise Class product family. The Enterprise Addendum should be used in conjunction
with the Airborne CLI Reference Manual for a full description of the available Command
Line Interface.
The CLI is one of a number of management interfaces for the product family and
compromises a set of ASCII text commands and parameters used to provision the
module, provide module status and environmental feedback, as well as support firmware
and file delivery to the module.
The reference manual will include the following sections. Please refer to the appropriate
section the required information.

for a specific function is dependent upon the device configuration chosen. It will
