ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual
2.2 CLI provides ASCII-based interface

The command line interface (CLI) provides access to the ATTO iPBridge

Services through a set of

ASCII commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CL I mode.

iPBridge Services provide configuration and

monitoring for the iPBridge. CLI commands may

be entered while in a Telnet session or on the

ExpressNAV interface

Advanced CLI

page

using the Ethernet port or while in a Telnet or

standard emulation program using the serial port.

• CLI commands are context sensitive and
generally follow a standard format
[Get | Set] Command [Parameter 1 |
Parameter 2]
followed by the return or enter key
• CLI commands are case insensitive: you may
type all upper or all lower case or a mixture.
Upper and lower case in this manual and the

help

screen are for clarification only.
• Commands generally have three types of
operation: get, set and immediate.
• The get form returns the value of a parameter or
setting and is an informational command.
Responses to get commands are specified in the
Results field for each command, followed by

Ready

.
• The set form is an action that changes the value
of a parameter or configuration setting. It may
require a
SaveConfiguration
command and a
restart of the system before it is implemented.
The restart can be accomplished as part of the
SaveConfiguration
command or by using a
separate

FirmwareRestar

t command. A number
of set commands may be issued before the
SaveConfiguration
command.
Responses to set commands are either an error
message or

Ready. *

. The asterisk indicates you
must use a
SaveConfiguration
command to
finalize the set command.
SaveConfiguration
will
ask if you want to restart the system or not.
• Set commands which do not require a
SaveConfiguration
command, defined as
immediate commands, are immediately
executed.
Responses to Immediate commands are either
an error message or data results followed by

Ready.
