Pressing F1 to bring up help does not work with Windows 2000. To retrieve the help for a command, you must type the command, a space, then a question mark. For example, typing in RESET ? will display help on the reset command.

To do this, you must set the focus (also called the configuration context) of the command line interface to be on that profile.
Connection profiles
Certain profiles define the characteristics of a connection, instead of just operational settings for the Diva 2440. For example, the
