Create a text file with CLI commands (one per line) and apply:

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | ping 10.10.10.1 source 192.168.1.10 size 1500 | Ping with source IP and payload size | | traceroute 8.8.8.8 | UDP traceroute | | test cable-diagnostic ethernet 1 | TDR test – cable length & faults | | show process cpu | CPU utilization per process | | show memory | Memory usage | | debug radio event | Real-time radio events (caution) | | debug ethernet packet | Packet capture to console (high load) |

The Ericsson MINI-LINK CLI provides a robust, scriptable, and efficient method for managing microwave links. Mastery of the commands outlined in this paper enables network engineers to perform rapid deployment, advanced troubleshooting, and fine-grained performance tuning beyond what is possible via GUI alone.

Managing the microwave radio frequency (RF) link is the most critical aspect of MINI-LINK administration. These commands help you monitor and configure MMUs (Main Microwave Units) and RAUs (Radio Access Units). Monitoring the Radio Link show radio-link detail Use code with caution.

Ericsson MINI-LINK microwave transmission systems are the backbone of mobile backhaul and fixed wireless networks globally. While graphical user interfaces (GUIs) like Ericsson Service Node Manager (SOEM) or Craft Terminal are useful for basic tasks, the Command Line Interface (CLI) is indispensable for advanced troubleshooting, automated provisioning, and rapid configuration.
