Maintenance Commands
This chapter provides additional trouble-clearing information for resolving both 
system-alarmed and user-reported troubles. This chapter supplements the 
information found in 
Chapter 3, ‘‘Maintenance Objects’’
. The maintenance 
commands are used to control, test, and obtain information associated with 
maintenance objects (MOs). The commands require the use of the administration 
terminal or remote Initialization and Administration System (INADS) interface and 
a valid login and password.
For Maintenance Objects and Maintenance Commands for the DEFINITY 
Wireless Business System (DWBS), refer to the appropriate maintenance 
documentation that accompanies the DWBS.
