Command Examples 

This chapter gives information on the commands that are used in the SMT menus.  

26.1 Command Syntax 

Use of undocumented commands or misconfiguration can damage the unit and 

possibly render it unusable. 

The command keywords are in 

courier new

 font. 

Enter the command keywords exactly as shown, do not abbreviate. 

You must type in information, in the angle brackets 

<>

.  

Predefined selections are enclosed in angle brackets <> separated with the “|” symbol meaning “or”. 

For example, 

System Bridge <Enable | Disable>

 

This means that you must specify whether to enable or disable the operating mode as a bridge or not. 

The following are a list of tables that contain the configuration controls for the ZyAIR. These are accessed 
through the supervisor configuration mode.  

26.2 Commands Summary 

The tables below list the commands necessary in the configuration of your ZyAIR. 

Those selections marked by an * are available only when Enable mode has been 

activated (see Enable configuration mode in the previous chapter).
