Shortcuts for commands
As an alternative, instead of entering full CLI commands, you can simply enter the first letter
or the first few letters of the command and then press the Tab key. The Command Line
Interface then displays a command starting with the letter or letters you typed in. If the
command displayed is not the command you require, press the Tab key again to display the
next command.
Directory structure
Before you can enter a command in the Command Line Interface, you must first open the
required menu or submenu. The following tables contain the commands of a menu and a
description of them. The menu containing the commands is shown before the table. The
table lists only the commands themselves.
Symbols for representing CLI commands
CLI commands generally have one or more parameters that are represented in the syntax
description as follows:
●
Mandatory parameters are shown in pointed brackets.
Example:
<IP address>
●
Optional parameters are shown in square brackets.
Example:
[E|D]
If you omit an optional parameter, the commands output the currently set value.
●
Alternative input values are separated by the pipe character. In this case, you specify one
of the listed values as the parameter.
Example:
[E|D]
you enter either "E" or "D".
●
If a numeric value is required as a mandatory parameter, you can also specify a range of
values:
Example:
<0 ... 255>
You enter a value between 0 and 255.
Cross-menu commands
You can use the commands in the following table in any menu.
