Format for Documenting Commands in this Manual

Each command documented in this manual begins on a new page. If the command is disruptive (i.e., interferes with the primary data channel), the word Disruptive is indicated immediately below the command name.

The format for documenting each command is the same. The function of the command is briefly summarized. Then the information fields are listed, as follows:

Access Level

Identifies the user group that is allowed to access the command. NMS commands are associated with at least one of four default user groups, or access levels. These levels are, in order of increasing command permission:

•Help Desk

•Data Technician

•Manager

•System Administrator

NOTE

In addition to the four default user groups, the NMS System Administrator can create up to 26 other user groups for each command in this manual. It is the responsibility of the NMS System Administrator to inform all the users of their system.

To execute a command, users must have the appropriate functional access level set in their user profile. Any command associated with a particular user group can be executed by any user that has equal or greater command permission. Therefore, it is assumed that the System Administrator has access to all commands. If a user does not have permission to a command, that command is not displayed in the user's menus. If the user attempts to invoke the command in the enter selection field, a message is returned indicating that permission is denied. The default access levels for all commands are listed in Appendix B in the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide.

Abbreviation

Identifies the abbreviation of the command as it appears in the command submenus. If the command submenus are bypassed by typing the command in the enter selection field, the command abbreviation must be entered exactly as shown.

An abbreviation is provided for each command. For some commands, an alternate command abbreviation from earlier 6800 Series NMS releases is also recognized. For such commands, these alternate abbreviations are also listed.
