XCRON and XCROFF
Enables or disables sending CR's on each line. XCRON is typically used when a (Windows) telnet client connecting to
the VxRouter requires each line to end with a CR/LF pair.
Format:
XCRON
or
XCROFF
Example Results:
R0003OK
XMAXCARDS
Returns the maximum number of either upstream or downstream cards in the switch. The total number of cards in the
system is twice the value returned. The Vx160 has 8 upstream and 8 downstream cards for a total of 16 cards. To
maintain consistency, the VxRouters that are uni-directional (the Vx80 and Vx320-Video) also return half the number of
cards.
•
The Mx family of Routers are uni-directional. However, the Mx48 only has 3 I/O cards, so it is not possible to return
½ the number of cards. So, the Mx family will return the maximum number of cards.
Bit 3 of XOPTIONS may be used to determine if XMAXCARDS returns ½ the number of cards (default) or the actual
number of cards (i.e. for the Mx family).
