ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual

2.2 CLI provides ASCII-based interface

The command line interface (CLI) provides access to the ATTO iPBridge

Services through a set of

ASCII commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode.

iPBridge Services provide configuration and
monitoring for the iPBridge. CLI commands may
be entered while in a Telnet session or on the
ExpressNAV interface Advanced CLI page
using the Ethernet port or while in a Telnet or
standard emulation program using the serial port.

• CLI commands are context sensitive and

generally follow a standard format

[Get | Set] Command [Parameter 1 |

Parameter 2]

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 specified in the

Results field for each command, 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

FirmwareRestar

t 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.

SaveConfiguration

will

ask if you want to restart the system or not.

• Set commands which do not require a

SaveConfiguration

command, defined as

immediate commands, are immediately
executed.

Responses to Immediate commands are either

an error message or data results followed by

Ready.
