D-Link DSL-504G CLI reference?

[leon breedt]

Hi,

Does anyone have documentation for this router CLI interface?
Apparently 504 and 504G are totally different beasts :(

I bought one of these, due to some standard marketing boilerplate
about a telnet CLI interface. What a cruel joke! There Is No
Documentation. The "help" command gives you a general idea of what the
commands are going to be named, and then leaves it to you to guess the
parameters and their formats. I suspect not all commands are
documented, or otherwise this "Telnet" interface is pretty piss poor,
feature wise.

And since the web administration frontend has taken it upon itself to
make all the important clickable links a JavaScript-backed image map
that only works in IE, I cannot do anything useful with this router
without a "View Source". (Firefox/Safari, Linux/Mac).

if you want to know about the 504 (as opposed to the 504G) take a good
long look at:

This guys has spent a ton of time gather 500/504 resources together. He
even has manuals for the CLI.
