Closing a Local Connection
Close the window or terminal emulation program when you finish accessing a PDU over the local connection.
When accessing or upgrading multiple PDUs, do not transfer the local connection cable from one device to another without
closing the local connection window first.
Help Command
The help (?) command shows a list of main CLI commands available for the current mode. This is helpful when you are not
familiar with CLI commands.
Help command under the administrator mode:
#
?
Help command under the configuration mode:
config:#
?
Help command under the diagnostic mode:
diag:#
?
Press Enter after typing the help command, and a list of main commands for the current mode is displayed.
Tip: You can check what parameters are available for a specific CLI command by adding the help command to the end of
the queried command. See Querying Available Parameters for a Command (on page 21).
Querying Available Parameters for a Command
If you are not sure what commands or parameters are available for a particular type of CLI command or its syntax, you can
have the CLI show them by adding a space and the help command (?) to the end of that command. A list of available
parameters and their descriptions will be displayed.
The following shows a few query examples.
To query available parameters for the "show" command:
#
show ?
