Managing the DECserver 90L+

Command Line

The DECserver 90L+ user interface provides a command line interpreter as an
alternate means to set and show port and server parameters. The command
line interpreter helps with the control of the DECserver 90L+ by network
management software and by users who want to bypass the menu interface.

For command line entries, the commands and parameters are not entered
through a menu on the terminal screen. The user’s input is echoed and the
complete command is processed after a

Return

is entered. Note that any error in

parsing a command will cause the entire command to be ignored.

A space is required between the command (set or show) and its parameters. The
command line interpreter uses a comma (,) as a delimiter to separate the different
fields in a command line. To make the command line interpreter easier to use,
the current value (default) for a field will be used when:

1.

There is no entry for a field.

2.

A

Return

is entered before all the parameters have been entered.

The following are the command lines that can be entered at the DECserver 90L+
prompt (->) to set, show, or reset parameters.

Set Port Parameters:

->SET <port>,<name>,<speed>,<IFC>,<OFC>,<device>,<break>,<rem_mod>,<test>
