DT-6X60 User's Manual - Platform (Build 2.0)
6 DT-6X60 COMMAND R EFERENCE
All DT-6XXX software is composed of two components. One component, called the Platform,
exists to support all applications. The second component is comprised of the individual
application(s).
The Platform provides Operating System functions, selected interfaces, protocol stacks, SNMP
functions, and system OA&M while each application uses the services of the resident Platform.
The Platform commands may be entered through the serial (CON) port or through a telnet
connection to port 1023 at the IP address configured for the DT-6XXX unit. The two sources are
merged and treated as a single console, and all console output is directed to both telnet and the
serial port (except for post-shutdown and early booting messages, which appear only on the serial
port). When the serial port has logged into the console and a new telnet connection is made to the
platform console, the platform console is logged out so that the telnet caller does not get access to
an open console. The exception is when CUGs have been defined for the console. In that case,
telnet callers are screened by CUG, and the forced logout is not done.
Most commands cannot be entered without first logging in with a user-settable password. The only
commands allowed without first logging in are:
• help
• login
• rstpass
The command set for the DT-6160 and DT-6260 is generally the same as the command set for the
DT-6061with one exception: There is no need for the PHY command in the DT-6061 because of
the physical differences between the DT-6061 and the DT-6X60’s.
6.1 I NPUT C ONVENTIONS
All parameters may be given on the command line. Parameters of the form name=<value> may be
given in any order.
For several complex commands, listed below, missing parameters, or corrections of errors in given
parameters, of the form name=<value> are collected by prompting the console user. The user
responds to a prompt for the name by typing the required <value> followed by newline. Defaults
are supplied in some cases, so the user need only enter newline.
