Do you have subscription-manager on the client machine? If you have that 
installed you can use the GUI or hte command line to pull it down.

I look at the page, and it is out of date. i will updtae it now. The 
summary is that the katello cli tool should be used to manage the 
server, and subscription-manager is used to manage the current machine 
you are on.

Think of it this way:

katello-cli roughly equals pulp-admin
subscription-manageer roughly equals pulp-client
