2.1 Syntax Conventions

This manual follows these general conventions:

•Units of measurement may denote the “metric” value or the “scientific” value. For example, “k” for kilo may denote “1000” or “1024”, “M” for mega may denote “1000000” or “1048576” and so on.

Command descriptions follow these conventions:

•Commands are in courier new font.

•Required input values are in angle brackets <>; for example, ping <ip-address>means that you must specify an IP address for this command.

•Optional fields are in square brackets []; for instance vdsl profile [12], the name field is optional.

•The (bar) symbol means “or”.

•italic terms represent user-defined input values; for example, in vdsl downrate [y], y can be replaced by the actual data rate that you want to set, for example, 10000.

•A key stroke is denoted by square brackets and uppercase text, for example, [ENTER] means the “Enter” or “Return” key on your keyboard.
