10.1. 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 CMS-6R4 commands begin with the Slash
Character ( /).
• Port Name Wild Card: It is not always necessary to enter the entire port
name. Port names can be abbreviated in command lines by entering the
first character(s) of the name followed by an asterisk ( *). For example, a
port named "SERVER" can be specified as " S*". Note however, that this
command would also be applied to any other port name that begins with
an "S".
• Suppress "Sure?" Prompt: The ,Y option can be included in
the command line to override the "Sure?" prompt. For example, to
disconnect Port 8 without displaying the Sure prompt, type /D,Y 8 and
then press [Enter].
• Enter Key: Most commands are invoked by pressing [Enter].
• Connected Ports: When two ports are connected, most CMS-6R4
commands will not be recognized by either of the connected ports. The
only exceptions are the Resident Disconnect Sequence (Default = ^X
([Ctrl] plus [X])) and the Send Break command ( ^\ ([Ctrl] plus [\])
• Configuration Menus: To exit from a configuration menu, press [Esc].
The only exception to this rule is the Copy Parameters Menu (/CP), and in
that case the [Esc] key is used to confirm the copy operation.
