“R”: Router Reset
Use this command to force the routing switcher to reset, by sending it the command
"
RESET
". If an administrator password has been set (using the “G ADMIN_PASSWORD”
command described later in this document), then the password must be sent in a “K”
message prior to sending this command, else this command will generate an error. For
example, the command:
**RESET!!
would initiate a reset (if the password has been entered, if required), and when the router
finished the reset operation, something like this would be received, just as if the router
had powered up:
** RESET Tahoe Vx.xx (C) 2000~ !!<CR>
“I”: Capabilities Inquiry
The command "
I
" requests that command capability information be returned to the host.
The information is sent as a string of characters. The first characters are a space
followed by "
I
", the next characters are the letters of the commands that are implemented
and available in this router, and the last character is "~" (tilde). Do not count on the
characters being in any specific order. Search all characters for a particular one.
All routing switchers implement the
I, L, S, and X
commands. The Q command will
eventually be added to all.
For example, the command:
**I!!
might return the following string:
** ILSX~ OK !!<CR>
indicating that the router supports the
I, L, S, and X
commands from the host.
“Q”: Model Name and Software Version Inquiry
The command "
Q
" requests that the router model name and software version number
string be returned to the host. The information is sent as a string of characters. The first
characters are a space followed by "
Q
", the next characters are the router model name,
terminated by a "~" (tilde). Following this are the characters of the software version
number string, again terminated by a "~" (tilde).
For example, the command:
**Q!!
might return the following string:
** QSmall~V2.1~ OK !!<CR>
indicating that the router model name is "Small" and the software version number is
"V2.1".
“L”: Matrix Size and Level Names Inquiry
The command "
L
" requests that matrix size (Nout, Nlvl, Nin) and level name information
(lvl1, lvl2, etc.) be returned to the host. The information is sent as a string of characters.
The first characters are a space followed by "
L
", some optional values described below,
then the number of outputs (Nout), a comma, the number of levels (Nlvl), a comma, the
number of inputs (Nin), a comma, and then the level names, each terminated by a "~"
(tilde), and the last followed by two tildes.
For example, the command:
**L!!
