Screens and Commands

Screens

The system is administered using screens displayed on the terminal. The
screens are used to add , c hange, disp lay, list data, and to remove system and
telephone features. To access a screen, enter a valid system command in
response to the Command: prompt.

Commands

System commands are standard words and phrases instructing the system to
perform a spec ific function. The command s are arrang ed in a hierarchy of
keywords; that is, enter 1 c ommand to go to a different level. The command s
contain three parts: ACTION, OBJECT, and QUALIFIER.
■ACTION is the first part of the command . When Command: appears on the
screen. The ACTION specifies the op eration desired. Examp les include
add, duplicate, change, remove, display, list, and save.
■OBJECT is the second part of the command and specifies the p a rticular
object to be ad m in istered . Typical entries are hunt-group, coverage
path, and station.
■QUALIFIER is the last part of the command. It is 1 or more words or digits
used to further identify or comp lete the OBJECT. For example,

hunt group

15

or

station 3600

, where

15

and

3600

are qualifiers.
An example of the command line required to add a station with extension number

1234

is add station 1234. In this example, add is the ACTION, station is the
OBJECT, and 1234 is the QUALIFIER. In the command line, spac es are required
between the ACTION, OBJECT, and QUALIFIER.
To save time, enter enough letters for each part of the command to make it
unique. For example, if you want to enter the command ch ange
system-parameters country-options, typing ch a sys coun is acceptable.
However, typing the entire c ommand is always best .
NOTE:
The craft login may not be allowed to perform some of the steps needed t o
initialize the system. If access is denied to some of these procedures,
contact your Luc ent Technologies representative for assistanc e.
