Access Levels for the Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface provides two access levels of commands:
Monitor
access level commands
– these are commands that do not affect the operation of the
module, or that are read-only. Monitor level commands are always accessible. The Command
Line Interface always starts (or restarts after inactivity) at Monitor access level. See chapter 2 for
detailed definitions of Monitor level commands.
Modify
access level commands
– these commands can be used to change some operating
parameters, such as certain configuration items. Modify level commands are password-protected
and have predefined login names. See chapter 3 for Modify level command definitions.
Note:
If a Modify level command is entered while at Monitor level, the message "Error: Bad
command Syntax:" will appear.
Global Commands
Global commands are basic commands (such as
help
) that are always available at the current
access level. Some global commands are available only in Modify access level mode (not Monitor
mode). For example, the command
login
is a Monitor access level global command. However,
logout
is a Modify access level global command.
Example of Global Command Use
PROFINET Controller prompt in Modify level (not in Configuration mode):
device-name=
Enter
help global
to view available global commands at the Modify access level:
device-name= help global
alias - Text substitution
cls - Clear the screen
help - Show available commands
history - Show command history
log - Display local log table
node -Display Identification and physical module information
show - Show system attributes
terminate - End a command shell session
Non-Global Commands
Non-Global commands are commands whose functionality varies at different access levels.
