Actions/Commands

The command utility uses the following syntax:

 

tcmcmd [-q] -E command -G group [-P parameter][-F][-p

 

seconds]target

Query Current

Where:

Command Status (-q)

 

 

[-q]

 

Displays the result of the last issued command the selected targets

 

Example:

 

tcmcmd [-q]target

 

-Ecommand

 

command—a substring of valid commands

 

A substring match to the beginning of a command string has precedence over

 

internal matches. For example, "res" executes the Restore from NVRAM

 

command rather than the Software Reset command. Matching is case

 

insensitive. Spaces in the command name must be quoted properly according

 

to shell rules.

 

Command substrings can mean different commands depending on which

 

group is selected and whether the command is being executed at the slot level

 

or channel level. For example, for a modem, "reset" will perform a Hardware

 

Reset at the slot level, but a Software Reset at the channel level. For a T1 card,

 

"software" will initiate a Software Download if the Hardware group is

 

selected, but a Software Reset if the Software group is selected.

 

-Ggroup

 

The command type, hardware or software.

 

[-Pparameter]

 

The parameter to be supplied with command. Required for some devices, but

 

can be omitted where not used.

 

[-F]

 

The component may be in a state where the selected command is normally

 

rejected (for example, a modem in dial mode). Include this switch to force the

 

command to execute, regardless of the safeguards. Not all commands use this

 

feature.
