Lantronix MSS manual Command Line Editing, Key Purpose

Introduction Command Line Editing

Please read this section carefully so you can understand the conventions used in the command descriptions.

◆Commands are listed in alphabetical order.

◆Some commands do not apply to all members of the MSS family, and are so noted.

◆Commands and keywords appear in BOLD face.

◆User-entered parameters appear in italics. You must replace the italicized word.

When entering a parameter that is case-sensitive, such as file and host names, enclose the parameter in quotes to preserve case.

◆The Port portlist and Server parameters currently only apply to commands issued for the MSS4. Read each command carefully for more details.

◆When two or more parameters appear in curly braces {}, you must choose one and only one of the items within each set of braces to complete the command.

◆Parameters that appear in brackets [] are optional. If more than one parameter appears in a single set of brackets, only one parameter may be chosen at a time. Single parameters enclosed in brackets may be omitted from the command, or used in combination with one another.

◆The MSS has a reduced command set from the EPS, ETS, and MPS product lines. Change commands replace the Set/Define Server and Set/Define Port commands used in the earlier products.

A single Change command will take effect immediately (like a Set command), and will remain in effect until another Change command is issued (like a Define command). The exceptions are the Change Port and Set Privileged commands, which do not take effect until the port is logged out.
