Not every command will contain all syntax types. For example, the following command reboots the CPS appliance.

>SERVER REBOOT

In this case, both SERVER and REBOOT are positional commands.

In most cases, one or more spaces separate positional commands, positional parameters and keyword parameters.

For most positional commands, positional parameters or keyword parameters, you only need to enter the first three characters. The exceptions are:

•When you specify a terminal type with the Type parameter in the Server CLI command, you must enter all characters.

•When you specify an authentication method with the Auth parameter in the Server SSH com- mand, you must enter all characters.

•When you specify control signal monitoring with the Power parameter in the Port Set com- mand, you must enter all characters.

With the exception of usernames and passwords, commands are not case sensitive; they may be entered in uppercase, lowercase or a combination. For example, all of the following commands are correct.

>PORT 2 SET BAUD=57600 FLOW=XON

>POR 2 SET BAU=57600 FLOW=XON

>por 2 Set Baud=57600 flow=xon

>port 2 set baud=57600 flow=xon

NOTE: Usernames and passwords are case sensitive. These values are stored exactly as you enter them. For example, the username “Ann” must be entered with an uppercase “A” and all other letters lowercase. The username “ANN” will not be accepted as the username “Ann.” Usernames and passwords must contain 3-16 alphanumeric characters.

Any syntax errors are displayed, and where applicable, the error is underlined.

In the following example, the keyword parameter “baud” is misspelled. Even if more than three characters are entered, they must all be correct.

>port 2 Set Baux=57600 flow=xon

ERR 26 - SET keyword parameter invalid

In the following example, the keyword value “576” is not valid. Numeric keyword values must be fully specified and may not be shortened to three characters.
