Entering Commands
Commands are executed by typing the appropriate command or com-
mands at the system prompt (TS>) followed by a valid entry (if applicable)
and the
<Enter>
key. If entering multiple commands, they must be entered
in hierarchy order (See “Model 2120 Help Menu/Command Hierarchy” on
page 17) and separated by a space. For example, the following command
string is entered to set the serial interface data rate to 115.2 kbps:
TS>configure eia232 interface datarate 115200<Enter>
For a single entry command such as “boot”, the following command is
entered to remotely boot the Model 2120:
TS>boot<Enter>
Commands entered are matched against the commands available for
that menu. Commands are accepted when the characters entered for a
command can only match one command for that menu. Thus shortcuts
are permitted when entering commands. The following examples show
how shortcut commands can be used to enter the same configure and
boot commands as listed above:
TS>c e i da 115200<Enter>
TS>b<Enter>
Activating Configuration Commands
The Model 2120 configuration parameters can be changed by using the
“configure” command and associated sub-commands. Immediately after
the necessary “configure” command string is entered, the “configure acti-
vate” command
must
be entered in order to activate the changes and
write them to flash memory
. For example, the command string used to
set the serial interface data rate to 115.2 kbps (see section “Entering
Commands”) must be immediately followed by the following command:
TS>configure eia232 interface datarate 115200<Enter>
TS>configure activate<Enter>
If successfully activated, the message “Activate is complete!” will display.
Note
The “configure activate” command MUST be entered after each
configuration change!
