5–4CLI Commands

The controller processes each command in sequence. You can continue entering subsequent commands while the controller is processing prior commands. A controller experiencing heavy data I/O may respond slowly to CLI commands.

NOTE: Due to space limitations, some examples in this manual contain commands that exceed one line in length. In these instances, the paragraph preceding the example identifies which command is continued on the next line.

Specific keys or a combination of keys allow you to recall and edit the last four commands. This feature can save time and help prevent mistakes when you need to enter similar commands during the configuration process. Table 5–1lists the keys used to recall and edit commands.
