CLI Conventions

zOptions—Provides an explanation of each of the options for a command and the default value if there is one. Some commands do not have any options, so this category is absent.

Command Shortcuts

When you type a command, you can specify the shortest unique version of that command or you can press the ESC or TAB key to complete the command. For example, the following command:

set telnet-client map-to-crlf off

can be typed as:

set tel map off

or, you can use the ESC key to complete the lines as you go along:

set tel<ESC>net-client ma<ESC>p-to-crlf off

where the <ESC> key was pressed to complete the option as it was typed.

Command Options

When you are typing commands on the command line (while connected to the IOLAN), you can view the options by typing a question mark (?) after any part of the command to see what options are available/valid. For example:

DS$ set vmodem ? failure-string host

port style success-string suppress

DS$ set vmodem failure-string ?

<text>30 characters maximum

DS$ set vmodem failure-string "Vmodem failed" ? failure-string

host port style success-string suppress

Or press Enter to confirm command

DS$ set vmodem failure-string "Vmodem failed"

DS$ show vmodem
Host
Host Port
Success String	"Vmodem failed"
Failure String
Suppress	Off
Style	Numeric
DS$
