9.2 Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Falcon-NEO also has a CLI, or Command Line Interface. This interface has no graphical content and is
all command line (text) based and is for advanced users who have knowledge of command line functions.
This type of connection requires a Telnet or SSH client from a connected computer (over a network).
There are several Telnet and SSH clients available from different software companies. Microsoft Windows
also has a built-in Telnet client that can be used.
This section is for advanced users with knowledge of networking and
command line functions.
Windows has a built-in Telnet client but may not be installed by default.
Installing the Telnet client may require the assistance of a Network or
Systems Administrator. Other third-party Telnet programs are available.
All versions of Windows do not have a built-in SSH client.
For assistance on the installation of any SSH or Telnet software (including
Microsoft’s Telnet client) please check with your IT administrator.
9.2.1 Connecting via Telnet
The steps below outline how to use the Windows Telnet client. Other Telnet clients would
have different steps on how to connect.
1. Connect the Falcon-NEO to the network by attaching a network cable to the RJ45
connector in the back of the Falcon-NEO.
2. Turn the Falcon-NEO on and allow it to boot up completely.
3. Open the Telnet client.
4. Type open followed by the IP address or name of the Falcon-NEO. For example:
open 192.168.1.100 or open falcon-XXXXXX
where XXXXXX is the 6-digit serial number of the Falcon-NEO, then press Enter.
The Falcon-NEO login screen should appear.
5. Login with the username “it” (without the quotes) and the password “it” (without
the quotes). A command prompt should appear on the Telnet window.
Use the it login in step 5. It is not recommended to
use the logicube account login without consulting
with Logicube Technical Support prior to use.
The Falcon-NEO can now be configured or managed via the command line interface.
9.2.2 Connecting via SSH
Connecting to the Falcon-NEO via SSH (Secure Shell) is very similar to connecting via
Telnet. Since Windows does not have a built-in SSH client, a third party SSH client will
need to be downloaded and installed to connect via SSH. For instructions and support on
how to use third party SSH clients, please contact the SSH client’s manufacturer.
