Appendix A CLI Provides an ASCII-based Interface

The command line interface (CLI) uses ASCII commands typed while in CLI mode.

CAUTION

CAUTION
Do not use CLI unless you are directed to
by an ATTO technician.

Changing parameters may cause loss of
data and/or disruption to performance and
reliability of the FastStream.

The ExpressNAV Storage Manager is the
preferred method to operate and manage
the FastStream. Refer to

Using the

ExpressNAV Storage Manager

on page

39 for details.

The command line interface (CLI) is a set of ASCII-
based commands which perform configuration and
diagnostic tasks. You may use them through the
ExpressNAV Storage Manager Advanced CLI page
(refer to

Advanced CLI page

on page 35) or by using

the serial port interface or the Ethernet management
port (refer to

Interface Options

on page 39).

• CLI commands are context sensitive and

generally follow a standard format

[Get|Set] Command [Parameter1|Parameter2]

followed

by

the

return or enter key.

• CLI commands are case insensitive: you may

type all upper or all lower case or a mixture.
Upper and lower case in this manual and the
help screen are for clarification only.

• Commands generally have three types of

operation: get, set and immediate.

• The get form returns the value of a parameter or

setting and is an informational command.

• Responses to get commands are followed by

Ready.

• The set form is an action that changes the value

of a parameter or configuration setting. It may
require a

SaveConfiguration command and a

restart of the system before it is implemented.
The restart can be accomplished as part of the
SaveConfiguration command or by using a
separate

FirmwareRestart command. A

number of set commands may be issued before
the

SaveConfiguration command.

• Responses

to

set commands are either an error

message or

Ready. *. The asterisk indicates

you must use a

SaveConfiguration command

to finalize the

set command.

• Set commands which do not require a

SaveConfiguration command are immediately
executed.

Note

Using certain CLI commands during normal
operation can cause a performance drop.
Once command actions are complete,
performance should return to normal levels.
