Working in the CLI
Starting the CLI
The Equalizer Command Line Interface, CLI, gives you complete administrative control over Equalizer and is one
of the major new features in EQ/OS 10. The GUI is also available to view and modify the configuration, however,
not all administrative options have been enabled in the GUI.
The CLI can be used over either a serial connection or an SSH connection.
Logging In to the CLI Over a Serial Connection
To start the Equalizer CLI over a serial connection:
1. Connect the supplied serial cable to Equalizer’s front panel serial port and to a properly configured terminal
or terminal emulator, as described in "Quick Start" on page 50.
2. Press the <Enter> key to display the login prompt:
Equalizer -- EQ/OS 10
Username:
3. Log in using an Equalizer user name and password. If this is the first time you are logging in, use the default
administrative user name and password as shown below:
Username: touch
Password: touch
Login successful.
