To simplify the use of the command line, the interface supports automatic command completion. This function is activated when the command is incomplete and the <Tab> character is entered.
Another function that helps to use the command line – context help. At any stage of entering a command, you can get a prompt about the following command elements by entering <?> character.
For the convenience of managing the device via a command line, the do command is used, which allows you to execute global level commands (ROOT) when you are at other levels of the command interface.
To simplify the commands, the whole command system has a hierarchical structure. There are special branch commands for transition between levels of the hierarchy. This allows to use brief commands on each level. To designate a current level where a user is located, the system prompt string changes dynamically.
For example,
ma4000# configure terminal /switch to the device configuration mode
ma4000(config)#
ma4000(config)# exit /return to the highest command system layer
ma4000#
For the ease of command line use, shortcut keys listed in the Table 2.1 are supported.
Table 2.1 – Description of CLI shortcut keys

Ctrl+X | Command execution interruption |
Ctrl+D | In the nested section, return to the previous section ('exit' command); in the root section, exit the CLI ('logout' command). |
Ctrl+Z1 | Go to the root section |
Ctrl+A | Transition to the beginning of line |
Ctrl+E | Transition to the end of line |
Ctrl+U | Removal of characters to the left of a cursor |
Ctrl+К | Removal of characters to the right of a cursor |
Ctrl+С | Clear the line |
Ctrl+W | Remove a word |
Ctrl+B1 | Transition of a cursor one position backwards |
Ctrl+F1 | Transition of a cursor one position ahead |

Command line interface enables user authorization and restricts access to commands depending on their access level, provided by the administrator. For access control purposes, MA4000-PX commands are divided into 2 groups based on the user's area of responsibility.
List of groups:
- commands that control the initial start of the device:
- crate parameters configuration commands;
- station part (OLT) configuration commands;
- subscriber equipment (ONT) configuration commands;
- profile management commands;
- active configuration view commands;
- monitoring commands.
You can create as many users as you like, access rights will be assigned individually to each user.
In factory configuration, the system includes one user with the 'admin' name and the 'password' password.
The system allows multiple users to connect to the device simultaneously.
Profile and template names are case sensitive.
