Appendix B CLI provides ASCII-based Interface
The command line interface (CLI) provides access to the ATTO FibreBridge
Services through a set of ASCII
commands. CLI commands may be entered from the serial port connection or from the ExpressNAV System
Manager
Advanced
page.
FibreBridge Services provide configuration and
monitoring for the FibreBridge. The command line
interface (CLI) is a set of ASCII-based commands
which perform these tasks.
• CLI commands are context sensitive and
generally follow a standard format:
[Get|Set] Command [Parameter1|Parameter2]
followed
by
the
return
or
enter
key
• CLI commands are case insensitive: you may
type all upper or all lower case or a mixture.
Upper and lower case in this manual and the
help
screen are for clarification only.
• Commands generally have three types of
operation: get, set and immediate.
• The get form returns the value of a parameter or
setting and is an informational command.
• Responses to get commands are followed by
Ready
.
• The set form is an action that changes the value
of a parameter or configuration setting. It may
require a
SaveConfiguration
command and a
restart of the system before it is implemented.
The restart can be accomplished as part of the
SaveConfiguration
command or by using a
separate
FirmwareRestart
command. A
number of set commands may be issued before
the
SaveConfiguration
command.
• Responses
to
set
commands are either an error
message or
Ready. *.
The asterisk indicates
you must use a
SaveConfiguration
command
to finalize the
set
command.
SaveConfiguration
asks if you want to restart
the system or not.
• Set commands which do not require a
SaveConfiguration
command, defined as
Immediate commands, are executed.
• Responses
to
Immediate commands are either
an error message or data results followed by
Ready
.
