2. Using the Command Line Interface

Parameters

Parameters are values which clarify the function of a command. Parameter syntax must be followed exactly to avoid system error responses. There are two types of Tparameters:

Staging parameters − Designate where the verb of the command conducts its operation (address). There are three unique addressing parameters:

—Target IDentification (TID) − Identifies the Network Element (NE) to which the command is directed. Each NE in the system should have its own TID code.

—Access IDentification (AID) − Gives the location of the network entity (such as specific facilities and equipment) to which the command is directed.

When accessing multiple records, grouping and ranging of parameters may be allowed. An example if grouping is in the command

RTRV-EQPT::LT-1-1-4<-1-1-5<-1-1-6; where units -4, -5, and -6 are requested. Note that the group must be specified for each item entered. An example of ranging is in the command

RTRV-EQPT::LT-1-1-4&&-6; where -4&&-6requests units 4 through

6.The ampersand (&) separates descriptive records, groups, and members within an AID.

—Correlation TAG (CTAG) − Correlates the response message to the input command. A response to a command echoes the appropriate CTAG. This field is optional and can be any valid value or blank. The CLI automatically

Tfills in 100 (see Command Entry Features on page 2-4).

Data parameters − Provide specific data that may either be required or optional. For example, in the command SET-DAT, the date and time are data parameters (see SET-DATin Chapter 14, System Commands for more information).

Output Messages

Output messages are either the result of an input command or an event that occurred in an NE, or are autonomous. The response message can be either normal or an error report (see Appendix A, Error Codes). Those messages that are not a response to an input command are classified as autonomous.
