actiontec-cli

A command line interface for Actiontec MoCA devices

Requirements

• Java 8 or later
• A route in the routing table that directs traffic to 192.168.144.30 out the port the MoCA adapter is connected too.

Running the Jar

To use run the jar open Terminal/Command Prompt/Power Shell and enter

java -jar atcli.jar

If you have a non-default IP address (192.168.144.30) assigned to the MoCA adapter, the jar has an optional argument to allow it to be used instead.

java -jar atcli.jar <ip address>

Adding a Route

The easiest way to add a route is to assign an IP address to an interface in the same subnet. For example, on windows this can be done running this command:

netsh interface ip set address "Ethernet" static 192.168.144.2 255.255.255.0

You will now see a route 192.168.144.0/24 going out the Ethernet interface.

NOTE: "Ethernet" must be the name of the interface that is connected to the MoCA adapter. You can find this by typing name ipconfig /all into Command Prompt or Power Shell.

Help Text

Dumps of important commands help text can be viewed in the /help-doc directory on this github.

Basic Internal Commands

Internal commands are abbreviated with : and will not send anything to the MoCA device.

:gen-mocap-help-file <file> <get | set | do> Dumps the help text for a mocap subcommand for every subcommand provided in the file (separated by newline). get, set, and do are the shell commands to be appended.

:test Tests the connectivity to the MoCA adapter.

:exit or exit Exists the process.

Using grep

For non-internal commands, one can use a grep-like feature by adding so to the end of the command.

command | grep <regex>

Example:

help | grep mocap will only print mocap -- Moca stats and settings
