BEBox Commands
From BE Usergroup Technotes
Be Box commands (or Command Line Interface commands) are a way to program various settings of your Be Box, many of which can not be changed via the usual Web interface control panel. Most customers will not need to even attempt to use Be Box commands. But if you do, you will need to Telnet to your Be Box, which then enables you to enter the commands.
- A small subset of these commands can be done automatically

You can find documentation for the command line for the Thomson Speedtouch (BeBox) at this page. The most useful documents are the:
- CLI Reference Guide TG585 v7 R7.4x For the 7.4 software
- CLI Reference Guide TG585 v7 R8.2.1 Supposedly for V8.2 software, but some commands here do work on 7.4 software, even though the 7.4 manual above doesn't document them!!
You need to know how the box works to get the most out of them (see the Ethernet Configuration Guide on the page above for further bedtime reading...).
