Changing an Action Number

The basic command format shows the current value of a parameter associated with its action number and the target (if any) that you indicated for that command.

If you want to move to another action number, type A or a on the keyboard. When you see the Action = prompt, you enter the number of a valid action followed by (Return).

Here is an example of the A command:

You see:

Port = 10604 Action = 1 Data = 304

>

You enter A 7 (Return) and see:

>Action = 7

Port = 10604 Action = 7 Data = 0

The action numbers for all command areas are described in detail in the administration procedure chapters. Some commands require more than one action for their completion. These commands are described under Action Groups in this chapter.

Changing a Data Value

To change the data value associated with an action, first display the current value (as described above), then type D or d on the keyboard. When you see Data = enter the new data value followed by (Return).
