HLI Command Overview
The format of an HLI command is shown below.
Command Structure
command argument1 argument2 [optional argument1] [optional argument2]...
]
NOTE: The number of arguments, both required and optional, depends on the
command.
Each command has a defined structure. The HLI command must begin the string but
additional commands can follow that include arguments, parameters, and other variables.
Each command string ends with an <enter> (CRLF) command (
]
).
In the commands and examples that follow, HLI commands are represented in fixed
fonts . Identifiers, variables, arguments, and parameters are in
slanted fonts
.
NOTES:
• Text inside brackets [
example text
] represent optional command arguments.
Do not include the brackets when entering the command.
• A response is returned each time an HLI command is properly sent. The text
depends on the type of command. If the command is formatted correctly and
accepted, the reply is
"okay" unless otherwise stated.
Devices can be identified in one of three ways:
•
IP Address
– The IP address of the target device.
•
Device Name – The name of the device as assigned by the user.
• Device ID – A unique number identifying the target device.
NOTE:
The device ID is found on the product sticker located on the device, or in the
Device List of the EC 200. The ID numbers used in the following examples have
been simplified for the HLI command structure examples and do not represent
actual device IDs.
