DT-6061 User's Manual - Platform (Build 16.0)
11/12/04 Datatek Applications Inc. 20
6 PLATFORM C OMMANDS
The DT-6061 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.
Most commands can not be entered without first logging in with a user-settable password. The
only commands allowed without first logging in are:
• help
• login
• rstpass
6.1 INPUT CONVENTIONS
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.
! The legal characters for command input are the upper and lower case letters, numbers,
spaces, tabs, and the following special characters:
!#%+,-./:=_.
! Commands may be entered in upper or lower case.
! Parameters of the form name=value may use upper or lower case for name.
! Default values, if any, are shown in parenthesis as part of the prompt.
! Case is preserved for values.
! Values may not contain spaces, tabs, or the = character.
! When a password is being requested by a prompt, input is not echoed. The legal characters
for prompted passwords are the upper and lower case letters, numbers, and the following
special characters:
!# $%&'*+,-./:;< >?_{|}~.
! The banner and some of the parameters of the snmp command entered in response to
prompts can use any special characters.
! Backspace erases one character and @ deletes the current line of input. Most commands are
killed by the del key.
! An optional timeout can be configured for the console; if a command is not completely
entered within the configured timeout period (in the range of 30 to 1000 seconds), the
console is automatically logged off.
6.2 LOGIN
Syntax: login PASSWD=<password>
The login command is used to allow access to the other commands.
