Terminal

The command-line interface (CLI) means interacting with the router system where the user issues commands to the router system through command lines.

Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol that allows access to the router’s command-line interface. The outdoor router offers various ways to access the command-line interface.

After accessing the router, go to “System > Terminal”.

Input the default username root and the router password. You will then receive the welcome message on the web terminal interface.
