Command Line Interface
4.1
Introduction
Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text only interface integrated on-board the
TC8518. This reference chapter defines commands, describes the parameter options,
and shows examples you can choose using this tool. There are a few simple steps for
using CLI.
A.
Type a command. The system will continue to wait for you to finish entering
the text command until you press the Enter key.
B.
A command-line interpreter then receives, analyzes, and executes the requested
command.
C.
After the command is executed, the command usually returns output to you in
the form of text lines on the CLI. This output may be an answer if the
command was a question, or otherwise a summary of the operation.
