SSU-2000e Technical Reference

Overview
The Interactive Command Set (ICS), also called the ASCII command set, can be
used to control the SSU-2000e from a terminal connected to one of the SSU-2000e
EIA-232 serial ports.
This chapter describes ICS command conventions, the prompts, line editing
functions, and command syntax for ICS commands. The ICS command functions
and features are organized by user security access levels and are listed
alphabetically.
General Conventions
The following are ICS command general conventions:
Braces { } indicate multiple options. When entering options in the ICS command,
enter one option from the options listed in the braces. Options within braces { }
are separated by a pipe ( | ).
Brackets [ ] indicate that the enclosed information is optional.
Italics
indicate variable options.
The variable
xAy-z[&&z]
indicates the aid, or access identifier. This variable
specifies the shelf and slot location for hardware components, in this format:
xAy-z[&&z]
.
where:
x
Shelf number of the unit:
1 = the SSU-2000e main shelf
2-5 = the SDU-2000 expansion shelves, numbered from left to right
A
Place holder or slot separator
y
Slot number of the shelf, beginning with 1, and incrementing from left
to right for each shelf
z
Port number of the module
1 or 1–3 for Input modules
1–20 for Output modules
[&&z] Optional extension for multiple ports. For example, to configure ports 1
through 10 of a module in slot 5 of shelf 2, use
2A5-1&&10
as the aid.
Note:
If you are unable to access command features using your
current security access level, contact your SSU-2000e administrator
user for assistance.
