6.2. Operation via the Text Interface

When using the Text Interface, all switching and port connection functions are initiated by invoking simple, ASCII commands. ASCII commands are also used to display status screens and to log out of command mode. The Text Interface includes a Help Menu, which summarizes all available CMS-6R4 commands. To display the Text Interface Help Menu (Figure 6.2), type /H and press [Enter].

Notes:

•Wait for the "CMS>" prompt to appear before entering commands. The prompt will not reappear until the previous command is complete.

•Commands are not case sensitive. All commands are invoked by pressing [Enter].

•You are only allowed to issue commands to the outlets and ports that are allowed by the password entered during login.

•If command confirmation is enabled, the CMS-6R4 will display the Status Screen after commands are successfully completed.

•When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence Delay times will be applied as described in Section 5.5.5.1.

•If the password entered at login does not permit Supervisor Level commands, then the Help Screen will only list Non-Supervisor commands.
