10. Command Reference Guide

10.1. Command Conventions

Most commands described in this section conform to the following conventions:

Text Interface: Commands discussed in this section, can only be invoked via the Text Interface. These commands cannot be invoked via the Web Browser Interface.

Slash Character: Most CMS-6R4 commands begin with the Slash Character (/).

Port Name Wild Card: It is not always necessary to enter the entire port name. Port names can be abbreviated in command lines by entering the first character(s) of the name followed by an asterisk (*). For example, a port named "SERVER" can be specified as "S*". Note however, that this command would also be applied to any other port name that begins with an "S".

Suppress "Sure?" Prompt: The ,Y option can be included in the command line to override the "Sure?" prompt. For example, to disconnect Port 8 without displaying the Sure prompt, type /D,Y 8 and then press [Enter].

Enter Key: Most commands are invoked by pressing [Enter].

Connected Ports: When two ports are connected, most CMS-6R4 commands will not be recognized by either of the connected ports. The only exceptions are the Resident Disconnect Sequence (Default = ^X ([Ctrl] plus [X])) and the Send Break command (^\ ([Ctrl] plus [\])

Configuration Menus: To exit from a configuration menu, press [Esc]. The only exception to this rule is the Copy Parameters Menu (/CP), and in that case the [Esc] key is used to confirm the copy operation.
