Using Minimum to Distinguish

117237-E Rev.00
Minimum to Distinguish (MTD) is a feature that allows you to
quickly enter commands into the command line without the need
to type out the command in full.
For example, to move into config mode
bcc> prompt, type config. The prompt changes to read box#, the
top level of the config mode.
When you are more familiar with the BCC, you do not want to
have to type out commands like config in full as it takes up a lot
of your time. Type exit at the box# prompt; you are returned to
the bcc> prompt.
This time, type co at the bcc> prompt. The prompt changes once
more to read box#. co is the MTD for the config command. Most
MTDs are made up of the first two or three letters of the
command.
Note: Some commands, like exit and save, do not have an
MTD.
MTDs can be combined to perform a series of actions on one line.
Type exit to return to the bcc> prompt. From here we want to go
into config mode and then enter the system# object
At the bcc> prompt, type:
bcc> co sy
and press the enter key.
The command line prompt changes to read system#, denoting that
we are in the system# object (sy is the MTD for system). Type
exit and then press enter to return to the bcc> prompt.
The system# object contains parameters that can be modified by
the user (page 2-13). The info verb is used within an object to list
all its parameters. Type the following at the bcc> prompt:
