5.3. PLS Command/Menu Conventions

When invoking PLS commands or selecting items from configuration menus, note the following:

All PLS commands can be invoked at the PLS> command prompt, or from the General Parameters Menu, Circuit Parameters Menus, Monitor Parameters Menu, or Network Parameters Menu.

PLS commands are not case sensitive.

All PLS commands are invoked by pressing [Enter].

To select an item from a PLS menu, key in the number for the item and press [Enter]. To exit from a menu, press [Esc] at any time. Parameters defined up to that point will be saved.

To display the Help Screen, type /H [Enter].

The ",y" option can temporarily suppress the "Sure" (confirmation) prompt. The ",y" option is entered at the end of the command line, immediately following the command or argument. For example, to reset the network port without displaying the "Sure" prompt, type /T,y and then press [Enter].

If you are configuring the PLS via network, network communication parameters will not be changed until your telnet connection to the PLS has been terminated
