Command-Line Syntax
Issue 1 May 2002 7-5 555-233-143
Command-Line Syntax
Each command consists of an action word, an object upon which the action is
performed, and optional qualifiers that modify the execution of the command. In
some cases, the choice of a qualifier may be required. The syntax of the
command appears under the heading at the beginning of each command
description. The syntax is interpreted as follows:
Command words can be abbreviated. A partially spelled word is recognized as
long as enough letters are entered to distinguish it from other valid entries.
Otherwise, the screen displays a selection of command words that match the
abbreviation. For example, test alarms step short clear can be entered as t al
st sh c. Drop leading zeroes from numerical entries. For example, cabinet
number 03 can be entered as 3.
Pressing the
HELP
key displays every available command. If an incomplete
command is entered, press
HELP
to display every valid qualifier for the command.
NOTE:
When the successful execution of a command is prevented, an error
message that is usually self-explanatory displays. If the following message
appears, the software is most likely corrupt:
Error encountered; can’t complete request
In this case, follow normal escalation procedures.
