Prism FC420 Services Software Commands
0
The Prism FC420 Services Software is resident on each FC420 bridge, and is
used to configure the bridge for use in the library. The software uses a
Command Line Interface (CLI).
Prism FC420 Service
Software Operation
0
The Command Line Interface provides access to the FC420 services through a
set of ASCII-based command lines. Commands have four types of operation:
•
Immediate
—cause an immediate action; not preceded by a
get
or
set
operation.
•
Get
—returns the current value of a parameter or setting. This command
may be abbreviated to “g.”
•
Set
—changes the value of a parameter or setting. This command may be
abbreviated “s,” and does not take effect until a
SaveConfiguration
command
is sent.
•
Usage
—if the form of an operation cannot be determined, it is assumed to
be the “Usage” form and a brief help message is displayed.
The commands are not case sensitive.
Decimal numbers may be entered as raw numerical input, such as 123.
Octal numbers must be preceded by the number 0, for example 0713.
Hexadecimal numbers must be preceded by the C-style of 0x prefix, such as
9x1FA4.
Quoted strings are treated as a single parameter for any command which
expects character input, regardless of space in the string.
Several non-immediate commands require a
SaveConfiguration
before their
modified parameters take effect. When such a command is executed an
asterisk appears next to the command line prompt.
