Command Line Interface

Entering Commands

Enter commands by typing the command name followed by zero or more parameters and pressing <enter>. For example, typing <banner> <enter> at the command prompt displays the Administrative Interface logo.

Items typed in courier are to be typed literally, or read directly from the screen.

Angled bracketed items are variables and represent values. For example, <IPaddress> represents an IP address in dotted decimal notation as 123.1.2.3.

Items in the Times New Roman font (this font) appearing on a line are hints to the user (not actually displayed on the screen).

Items in { } and separated by represent alternatives for the argument.

get-comm {read write *}

means you can type one of:

get-comm read

get-comm write

get-comm *

If you enter a command incorrectly, a message is displayed indicating the type of error that occurred. For example, typing a nonexistent command gives the following message:

SYS_console> pin

command <pin> not found

If the command exists but the number of parameters is incorrect, the following message is displayed:

SYS_console> ping

too few arguments
