<name>
The LOAD commands loads a profile into the edit area. It uses the following syntax:
LOAD <partial address>
For example,
: LOAD 201.PORT.0
When the profile has been loaded into the edit area, modify it, using only the SET command,
for example:
: SET Port Name=Chicago #1
When you have finished modifying the profile, save it. The SAVE command copies the profile
in the edit area to the specified address. It uses the following syntax:
SAVE <partial address>
For example,
: SAVE 201.PORT.0
Getting an entity’s current value
If an entity (profile) has not already been loaded into the edit area by using the LOAD
command, the GET command loads the profile and then extracts the requested value.
The GET command returns the value of the addressed attribute. When the addressed attribute
is a parameter in the standard user interface, the value returned by GET is a parameter value.
When the addressed attribute is a status window in the standard user interface, all lines in the
status window are returned.
The GET command uses the following syntax:
GET <full or edit address>
For example, the following GET command uses a full address:
: GET 201.DIAL.16.Call Type
+ 201.DIAL.16.Call Type=AIM
Or, if the profile has already been LOADed into the edit area, use the following syntax:
: LOAD 201.DIAL.16
: GET Call Type
+ 201.DIAL.16.Call Type=AIM
Getting the address and value of the next entity
The NEXT command returns the address and value of the attribute with the next address.
Addresses, though composed of both textual and numeric components, are ordered as if each
component was a digit of a decimal number. The sequence is:
<name> within <entry>
<entry> within <type>
