Operation
6.2. Operation via the Text Interface
When using the Text Interface, all switching and port connection functions
are initiated by invoking simple, ASCII commands. ASCII commands are
also used to display status screens and to log out of command mode. The Text
Interface includes a Help Menu, which summarizes all available CMS-6R4
commands. To display the Text Interface Help Menu (Figure 6.2), type /H and
press [Enter].
Notes:
• Wait for the "CMS>" prompt to appear before entering commands.
The prompt will not reappear until the previous command is
complete.
• Commands are not case sensitive. All commands are invoked by
pressing [Enter].
• You are only allowed to issue commands to the outlets and ports that
are allowed by the password entered during login.
• If command confirmation is enabled, the CMS-6R4 will display the
Status Screen after commands are successfully completed.
• When switching and reboot operations are initiated, Boot/Sequence
Delay times will be applied as described in Section 5.5.5.1.
• If the password entered at login does not permit Supervisor Level
commands, then the Help Screen will only list Non-Supervisor
commands.
