4. The"Toggle"Command: As an alternative to the /TA and /TB commands, the /T
(Toggle) command can also be used to perform A/B switching. Type /T n,p and
press [Enter]. Where "n" is the number or name of the desired Circuit or Circuit
Group and "p" is the desired A/B position. For example:
/T 2,B [Enter] or /T SERVERS,A [Enter]
5. SuppressCommandConfirmationPrompt: To execute a switching or default
command without displaying the "Sure?" prompt, you can either disable command
confirmation via the System Parameters Menu, or include the ",Y" option at the end
of the command line. For example:
/TA ROUTER,Y or /T 2,B,Y
9.2.2.1. Applying Commands to Several Circuits - Text Interface
As described below, A/B switching commands can be applied to only one Circuit
Module, or to an assortment of circuits.
1. SwitchSeveralCircuits: To apply the /TA, TB or /T command to several circuits,
enter the numbers or names for the circuits, separated by a "plus sign" (+) or a
comma (,). For example to switch circuits 1, 3, and 4 to the "B" position, enter one
of the following commands:
/TB 1+3+4 [Enter]
or
/T 1+3+4,B [Enter]

2. SwitchaRangeofCircuits: To apply the /TA or /TB command to a series of
circuits, enter the numbers for the circuits that mark the beginning and end of the
range, separated by a colon. For example to switch circuits 1 through 3 to the "A"
position, enter the following:
/TA 1:3 [Enter]

4. AllCircuits: To apply a command to all circuits, enter an asterisk in place of the
name or number. For example, to switch all circuits to the "B" position, enter one of
the following commands:
/TB * [Enter]or/T *,B[Enter]
