17.1.Command Conventions

Most commands described in this section conform to the following conventions:

Text Interface: Commands discussed in this section, can only be invoked via the Text Interface. These commands cannot be invoked via the Web Browser Interface.

Slash Character: Most AFS-16 Text Interface commands begin with the Slash Character (/).

Apply Command to All Circuits: When an asterisk is entered as the argument of the /T (Toggle), /TA (Toggle to A) or /TB commands (Toggle to B) the command will be applied to all circuits. For example, to switch all circuits to "A", type

/TA * [Enter].

Circuit Name Wild Card: It is not always necessary to enter the entire circuit

name. Circuit names can be abbreviated in command lines by entering the first character(s) of the name followed by an asterisk (*). For example, a circuit named "SERVER" could be specified as "S*". Note however, that this command would also be applied to any other circuit name that begins with an "S".

Suppress Command Confirmation Prompt: When the commands are invoked, the ",Y" option can be included to override the Command Confirmation ("Sure?") prompt. For example, to switch Circuit 4 to the "B" position without displaying the Sure prompt, type /TB 4,Y [Enter].

Enter Key: Most commands are invoked by pressing [Enter].
