Conventions
This manual uses the following conventions:
• The Return key, which you must press to execute all commands, is not shown
in command line displays.
• The Local> prompt, which appears in most examples, is the default access
server prompt. You can change this prompt to something other than
Local>
with the SET/DEFINE/CHANGE SERVER PROMPT command.
• All numbers are expressed in decimal notation unless otherwise noted.
• All Ethernet addresses are shown in hexadecimal notation.
