I managed to connect the Apollo Standard unit to a mining pool!

I would like to learn much more about how to do this, but don't know how to get started.
I understand the option to run the Standard Apollo in this way is for advanced users, but I have to start somewhere to become advanced.
Any hints where I can get started?
One thing I'm trying to learn is how I can change the cooling fan setting while running the Standard Apollo in a terminal.
And how to stop the text in the terminal from scrolling, or copy it elsewhere so I can read it and get a handle on what it's telling me.
