248167 2004-06-28 06:27:00 I know it means command line interface but how does it work?
I have a nokia m1122 router with the port on it and i was wondering how to make it work and what it does.

Thanks
Daniel

248168 2004-06-28 07:05:00 CLI is used to configure the router IOS. If you don't understand how to configure a router don't play with it. Davesdad (923)
248169 2004-06-28 07:57:00 You need a cable that converts the RJ45 CLI port to a standard serial port.

This allows you to interface with the modem via command-line, useful if the firmware breaks, but thats about it.

I made the cable myself, it's around here somewhere. Pin-outs are reasonably easily found on Google, however as mentioned if you don't know what you're doing don't mess with it.

M1122's are known to be fickle.
