2.4.1 Command help
To get help on a specific command, type the command-type root command, followed by a command
name, followed by ? or help:
<command-type root command> <command name> ?
Example 2.12
xcommand Dial ?
xcomm dial ?
*h xCommand Dial
callSrc(r): <S: 1, 60>
callDst(r): <S: 1, 60>
Bandwidth: <1..100000000>
EncryptionMode: <Auto/On/Off>
EncryptionType: <DES/AES-128/Auto>
OK
NOTE! Required parameters are identified by an “(r)" behind the parameter name.
2.4.2 Issuing a command
A command must start with a command-type root command, followed by a command name, followed
by a set of parameters. Parameters values can either be specified by a mark-up notation or by placing
the parameter values in the sequence specified by the help text – or a combination of these methods.
Markup notation
<command-type root command> <command> <parameter:value>
<parameter:value>...
When using this notation, the sequence in which the parameters are entered is not essential:
Example 2.13
xcommand dial Bandwidth:384 callDst:bob callSrc:alice
Abbreviations can be used for the parameter names as long as the parameter names are unique
within the command:
Example 2.14
xcommand dial B:384 callD:bob callS:alice
