Management of devices of Mini-Rack and Stand Alone type
The management terminal is connected to the MONITOR socket (DB9 type), which is on the front
(for devices of the Mini-Rack type) or rear (for the devices of the Stand Alone type) panels. The
requirements to the terminal configuration are similar to those of Sub-Rack devices. After the
power is on, the computer displays information about the device firmware loading.
Command structure
The device is configured and controlled by using command line interface, called command menu.
To facilitate the process, the commands are divided into hierarchical groups, called levels. The
command of the first level can have subcommands. All subcommands are on the second level.
Besides, there are special commands that do not form part of hierarchical groups.
Commands may have one or several parameters. When one enters such commands it is
necessary to use a space character (SP) to divide command names and each of the parameters.
To facilitate the process of the command recognition, the monitor displays this or that prompt. For
the main menu (commands of level 1) the following invitation is displayed >, for the submenu
(commands of level 2) the following prompt is displayed >submenu name>. For example,
>shdsl>. Prompts indicate that the device is ready to accept programs.
Fig.19 shows the command menu structure of the bridge mode.
Fig. 20 shows the command menu structure of the router mode.
The following rules are used to describe commands:
the first level commands and special commands are numbered by three figures;
the second level commands are numbered by four figures;
parameters in angular brackets < > are obligatory to enter;
parameters in direct brackets [ ] are not obligatory to enter;
in real commands brackets are not entered, they are used for description!
after the command is typed, press <enter>;
symbol “vertical line” | between parameters requires to type one of the listed parameters.
Note! If a password is used as access permission, the time of the command input is
limited and makes 10 minutes. After the time lapses, the password must be entered again.
