When you are in SHELL mode, the CLI prompt is the name of the Motorola Netopia® Gate-
way followed by a right angle bracket (>). For example, if you open a CLI connection to the
Motorola Netopia® Gateway named “Netopia-3000/9437188,” you would see

SHELL Command Shortcuts

You can

truncate most commands in the CLI to their shortest unique string. For example,

you can use the truncated command

q

in place of the full

quit

command to exit the CLI.

However, you would need to enter

rese

for the

reset

command, since the first characters

of

reset

are common to the

restart

command.

The only commands you cannot truncate are

restart

and

clear

. To prevent accidental

interruption of communications, you must enter the

restart

and

clear

commands in their

entirety.

You can use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll backward and for ward through recent
commands you have entered. Alternatively, you can use the

!!

command to repeat the last

command you entered.
