Appendix D Cli Provides An Ascii-Based Interface - ATTO Technology FastStream VT 5300 Installation And Operation Manual

Appendix D
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 interface is the preferred
method to operate and manage the
FastStream VT. Refer to
on page 27 for details.
The command line interface (CLI) is a set of
ASCII-based commands which perform
configuration and diagnostic tasks. Refer to
Interface options on page 27.
• 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.
Exhibit A-7 Symbols, typefaces and abbreviations used to indicate functions and elements of the command line
interface used in this manual.

• 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, defined as
immediate commands, are immediately
executed.
Note
Using CLI commands during normal operation
can cause a performance drop. Once
command actions are complete, performance
should return to normal levels.
