example, to include an apostrophe in string text, enter a backslash followed by an apostrophe (\'). To include a backslash (\) in string text, enter two backslashes (\\). The first backslash prevents the bridge/router from treating the second as a special character.

When specifying AppleTalk zone strings, you can use the extended AppleTalk

ASCII character set. For more information, see Using Enterprise OS Software.

You can assign a string to the PATH NAme parameter, and use this string as an instance identifier. For example, you can assign the name “testnet” to path 2 by entering:

SETDefault !2 -PATH NAme = “testnet”

In subsequent path-specific commands, you can substitute the path name for !2. For example, if you want to set the connector type on path 2 after assigning a name to this path, enter:

SETDefault !testnet -PATH CONNEctor = RS232

This same feature is available for port-specific commands. You can assign a name to a port and then substitute the port name for !<port> in subsequent commands. To assign a name to a port, use:

SETDefault !<port> -PORT NAme = “<string>”

For more information on the NAme parameter, see Reference for Enterprise OS

Software.

Port and Path Naming Restrictions

Port and path names are subject to the following restrictions:

The name string can contain a maximum of eight characters, the first of which must be alphabetic.

No blank spaces are allowed. The only nonalphanumeric characters allowed are the asterisk (*), underscore (_), period (.), and hyphen (-).

Two ports or two paths cannot have the same name, but a port name can be the same as a path name.

Alphabetic characters are stored and displayed as entered. Names are case-insensitive when compared with previously entered names. For example, port2 and PORT2 are evaluated as the same name.

ISDN-Related Syntax The syntax for some parameters is different for built-in Integrated Services Digital Variation Network (ISDN) interfaces. The syntax variation for these parameters is presented

in Reference for Enterprise OS Software in the following format:

For non-ISDN interfaces SETDefault !<path> -PATH remoteDialNo = “<string>”

SHow [!<path> !*] -PATH remoteDialNo

SHowDefault [!<path> !*] -PATH remoteDialNo

For built-in ISDN interfaces SETDefault !<connectorID.channelID> -PATH remoteDialNo = “<string>” SHow [!<connectorID.channelID> !<connectorID>.*] -PATH remoteDialNo SHowDefault [!<connectorID.channelID> !<connectorID>.*] -PATH

remoteDialNo
