Customizable Command Prompt
This feature allows the prompt in the command processor to be customized, and includes the ability to embed one or
more settings values in the prompt. A customized command prompt can help simplify administration of units,
particularly where multiple units are involved.
The command prompt setting is available in the General setup menu section, and via the Setting Key
sys.prompt
.
The setting can contain up to 64 characters, but the prompt itself is limited to 30 characters; any additional characters
are truncated.
In addition to specifying plain text to be included in the command prompt, setting values can be embedded using a
special syntax: $(setting_key_name). If this construct is used, the value of the specified Setting Key replaces the
construct. If the Setting Key is not accessible for any reason (invalid key, insufficient user access level, etc), "ERROR"
is displayed instead.
Note:
T850 only supports the
sys.sitename
Setting Key; all others return "ERROR".
To make the system prompt blank, set
sys.prompt
to a null value (i.e. "
sk sys.prompt
= ").
Examples:
Set prompt to be “>”
Via Setup menu: Enter new prompt: >
Via Setting Key: sk
sys.prompt
= >
Set prompt to be “Site Name”
Via Setup menu: Enter new prompt: TeleBoss (or whatever the site name is)
Via Setting Key: sk
sys.prompt
= “$(
sys.sitename
) “
Set prompt to be “System Date and Time>”
Via Setup menu: The date and time entered via the Prompt option do not
change as the actual date and time progress. What you enter
here will always be displayed as the prompt, until you change
it. If you want the date/time prompt to change with the
system clock, then change it via the Setting Key entry
describe below.
Via Setting Key: sk
sys.prompt
= $(
sys.clock.date
) $(
sys.clock.time
)>
