Command Summary and Access Control

The Makito FX CLI commands are divided in two main groups: operation and administration:

  • Operation Commands are used to manage the Audio/Video data path, processing, and features, including audio/video/metadata content selection, audio/video encoding, H.264 and HEVC streaming. Operation command effects are immediate but not persistent (i.e., between reboots) unless the current operating configuration is explicitly saved (using the config command).

  • Administration Commands address the security and network configuration. Their effects are persistent but not always immediate; some require system reboot to take effect.

Note

A warning appears when you reboot, or sign in or out of, a Makito FX when the current configuration has not been saved in a preset. See config.

Below is a list of CLI commands and other functionalities supported by the system, the privileges for each role, and their descriptions.
