Conventions

The following table lists the conventions that are used throughout this guide.

Convention

Description

A notice calls attentions to important features or instructions.

A caution alerts you to serious risk of data loss or other results that may cause you or the
unit trouble if the warning is not heeded.

A warning alerts you to the risk of serious damage to the unit or injury and possible death to
the end user.

Enter vs. Type

When the word enter is used in this guide, it means type something, then press the Return or
Enter key. Do not press the Return or Enter key when an instruction simply says type.

Syntax vs. Command

When the word syntax is used in this guide, it indicates that the general form of a command
syntax is provided. You must evaluate the syntax and supply the appropriate port, path, value,
address, or string.

Example:

Enable RIPIP by using the following syntax:

SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = Listen

In this example, you must supply a port number for !<port>.

When the word command is used in this guide, it indicates that all variables in the command
have been supplied and you can enter the command as shown in text.

Example:

Remove the IP address by entering the following command:

SETDefault !0 -IP NETaddr = 0.0.0.0

For consistency and clarity, the full form syntax (upper- and lowercase letters) is
provided. However, you can enter the abbreviated form of a command by typing

only the uppercase portion. You can enter the command in either upper- or lowercase
letters at the prompt.
