IP address of the DT-6061 or the configured label. The user may choose a unique name for FILE
(the default name is bkup).
The back and retr commands remember the previous SRV, LOC, and FILE values and provide
them next time as defaults for the SRV, LOC, and FILE prompts.

BACKUP AND
DT6
RELOAD
U
TILITIES
A new set of utilities is available which allows the mechanization of the backup and
retrieve/reload processes. They are called DT6backup and DT6reload respectively. The
advantages are:
The DT-6061 administrator can write a simple script with an easily remembered name
containing the command lines calling these utilities and schedule the script to run
periodically. That way the backup and or reloads can be executed when system activity is
not high. Also the administrator does not have to remember to run the script.
The administrator does not have to manually log into each DT-6061, which can consume
much time and is prone to typing errors etc., nor does the administrator have to
remember the individual passwords for each DT-6061 or the order and delimitation flags
for the parameters on the command lines.
The DT6backup and DT6reload utilities use the back and retrieve command respectively, and
hence can be used also with older releases of DT-6061 platform software.
Starting with DT-6061 release 17.1, the DT6backup and DT6reload utilities can operate without
using a separate FTP server. Instead, the utilities initiate a TCP call to special software in the DT-
6061 to transfer data to or from the unit. In addition, a new DT6upgrade utility can perform
software update without using an FTP server.
More detail about these utilities can be obtained from the combined release notes/user manual
for the utilities, which is available for download from the Datatek Applications web site via the
support link.

REBOOT
Syntax: reboot
After the DT-6XXX is properly configured with system parameters, it must be restarted in order for
the IP configuration to take effect. This is performed with the reboot command from the system
console. The reboot command has no arguments. It will restart the system so that any new
global parameters may take effect.

SNMP
Syntax: snmp get=<communities> set=<communities>
trap=<community> dest=<IP address> cug=[+|]<cuglist>
(prompted: sysName=<esc> sysLoc=<esc> sysContact=<esc>)
The snmp command is only allowed when the unit is logged in.
The snmp command configures or verifies the parameters needed to permit the SNMP agent to
communicate with a manager using closed user groups and user-specified communities for gets
and sets. The DT-6XXX will not respond to other community names. The <communities>
parameter accepts a comma-separated list of community names. The communities configured for
set also work for get, so they need not be repeated in the get parameter. The closed user group
option (cug) defines which IP addresses are allowed to do gets and sets. Values are saved in
