10. CLI guide
10.1. Introduction
The Parani-MSP1000 Root user can access the Linux console command line interface (CLI) of the
Parani-MSP1000 by via the serial console or Telnet/SSH. In the CLI, the authorized user can perform
standard Linux commands to view the status of the Parani-MSP1000, edit the configuration, apply
configuration changes, define user scripts and transmit files between the Parani-MSP1000 and remote
hosts.
The Parani-MSP1000 provides 2048 KB user space mounted in /usr2 for read/write capabilities in its
internal flash memory. Using the user space, the users user can make create their own scripts or
executable binaries to customize the Parani-MSP1000 for their own purpose.
A Root users can will always have access to the CLI always by through the serial console or by using
a Telnet/SSH client from their workstation.
10.2. Flash memory partitions
The Parani-MSP1000 internal flash is partitioned as shown in the table below. The users can freely
access the Mtdblock4 which is mounted on /usr2 for their own needs. The users can also access files
at /etc, /var, and /temp. However, accessing these files at the RAM disk will not affect the ParaniMSP1000 after rebooting.
