This is a collection of commands that perform miscellaneous system related functions.
sys {attach | detach | echo | date | debug | synchtime |
attach | This command re-attaches the user to a modified configuration buffer. Although multiple command line sessions may be active at once on a system, there may only be one supervisor session active on the system and there is only one command line configuration buffer allocated in the system. This buffer contains the modified configuration before it is saved using the save command. A supervisor session may be terminated or timed out by the system if no user input occurs within 5 minutes. In this case, if a modified configuration buffer exists, it will remain in the system's memory until the system is restarted. By using the sys attach command all of the previous configuration buffer's information is remembered as if it were entered in the current session. In addition, the command parser will notify a supervisor that a modified buffer exists on the first command that will change the configuration. At this point the user will have the opportunity to overwrite the previous configuration buffer and discard all previous changes; to attach to the previous configuration buffer and add the new change to it; or to cancel the new change and leave the previous configuration buffer as it was. | ||
detach | A modified buffer that is not associated with any terminal session is considered detached. It is possible to detach from a modified configuration buffer by issuing the sys detach command. It is also possible to detach from a modified configuration buffer by issuing the exit command. | ||
echo | This command simply repeats the arguments passed to it. This can be used to determine how escape characters and various command arguments will be interpreted. | ||
date | This command displays the date and time if the time server has been enabled (see the Time Server section) or if you set the clock using sys clock. | ||
debug | This command is used to turn on system debugging.
| ||
synchtime | Forces the concentrator to connect to the specified time server and reset the time. See the Time Server section for more information about configuring a time server. | ||
write port_name "message" | This command sends a message to another telnet or terminal session. The show os processes command can be used to display the names of other terminal sessions. In this display, sessions will be listed as "CLI @XXX", where XXX is the name of the terminal associated with the session. Use that name as the port_name of the interface to write to. "message" can be any string that should be sent to another terminal session. | ||
clock mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm | Sets the clock manually. Enter the two-digit month, day, and four-digit year followed by the two-digit hour and minutes. |
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
configure Time Server | Configures the concentrator for communication with a time server |
exit | Exits the command loop parser |
save | Saves the edited configuration |
show os | Shows operating system information |
