Access the command line interface
You can access the Connect IT 4 command line interface using an SSH connection, a telnet connection,
or a serial connection. You can use an open-source terminal software, such as PuTTY or TeraTerm, to
access the device through one of these mechanisms.
You can also access the command line interface in the WebUI by using the Terminal, or the Digi
Remote Manager by using the Console.
To access the command line, your device must be configured to allow access, and you must log in as a
user who has been configured for the appropriate access. For further information about configuring
