About Entering Commands on the Command Line
On the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 command line, do not force a line break (by pressing Enter or Return). This
will commit the command before you finish adding all command fields. If your terminal does not support
wrapping to the next line and long commands scroll out of sight, the easiest way to enter long commands is by
breaking the command into multiple commands as shown below. If you use this method, however, you must let
the Digi One/PortServer TS 2/4 know that you are configuring the same entity, such as the same port, menu, or
line. This is done by repeating the range or name field in each command.
set menu t1="Console Management Menu" range=6
set menu range=6 name="Console Management Menu" m3="Connect to System 1" set
menu range=6 c3="connect 1" m4="Connect to System 2"
set menu range=6 c4="connect 2"
