Command Line Interface (CLI)


HiView lets you connect to a device using SSH or Telnet. HiView attempts to connect to a device using SSH first. When HiView cannot connect to a device using SSH, HiView attempts to connect to the device using Telnet. To access a device using the Command Line Interface (CLI), perform the following steps:
  • Tile view
    • To view the context menu, right-click the tile with the desired device.
    • Click the "Open CLI connection" button.
  • Table view
    • To view the context menu, right-click the table row of the desired device.
    • Click the "Open CLI connection" button.


As an alternative HiView lets you start the CLI using the "URL" field, in both the Tile view and the Table view. To access a device using the URL field, perform the following steps:
  • Enter a device IP address in the "URL" field.
  • Click the "Open CLI connection" button.



Note:
To help provide secure communications, use SSH and disable Telnet on the device.





Note:
If your computer is connected to the device through a firewall, enter a rule in the firewall that allows the data traffic through port 22 (SSH) or port 23 (Telnet).
