MML Commands
MML Commands
To execute MML commands, log in to Cisco HSI and perform one of the following tasks:
• Start the MML session (see the “Starting an MML Session” section on page A-3) and enter a
command.
• Type a batch file command to start an MML session (see the “Starting a Batch File” section on
page A-4).
MML Command Syntax
MML commands use the following syntax:
command_name:target:[Parameter_List][;comments]
Parameter_List consists of a parameter name, an equal sign, and a value for the parameter.
The keywords and the value strings need not be enclosed in quotation marks. Anything you enter after a
semicolon (;) is treated as a comment. Use only one MML command on each line.
The “MML Command Reference” section on page A-6 contains detailed information about the
individual MML commands.
Tip • Use the Up Arrow key to scroll through all previous MML commands in turn.
• Use the Down Arrow key to move forward in the command buffer.
• Use the Left and Right Arrow keys to move along the command line.
• Use the Backspace, Delete, and alphanumeric keys to edit an MML command.
MML Command Conventions
The MML commands use the conventions shown in Table A-1.
