9. Operation
As discussed in Section 5, the AFS-16 offers two separate command interfaces; the Web
Browser Interface and the Text Interface (also known as the "Command Line Interface"
or "CLI.") Both interfaces offer essentially the same command options and features, and
in most cases, parameters defined via the Web Browser Interface will also apply when
communicating via the Text Interface (and vice versa.)

9.1. A/B Switching - Web Browser Interface

When using the Web Browser Interface, A/B switching commands are invoked via the
Circuit Control Screen and Circuit Group Control Screen.
9.1.1. The Circuit Control Screen - Web Browser Interface
The Circuit Control Screen lists the current A/B status of the AFS-16’s Circuit Modules
and is used to control switching and rebooting of each A/B circuit. To perform A/B
switching or set circuits to user-defined default states, proceed as follows:
1. Access the AFS-16 Command Mode as described in Section 5.1.
2. Click on the "Circuit Control" link on the left hand side of the screen to display the
Circuit Control Screen.
