Command Line Interface
Overview
The LMF also provides Command Line Interface (CLI) capability.
Activate the CLI by clicking on a Shortcut Icon on the Desktop. The CLI
can not be launched from the GUI, only from the Desktop Icon.
Both the GUI and the CLI use a program known as the Handler. Only
one Handler can be running at one time. The architectural design is such
that the GUI must be started before the CLI if you want the GUI and CLI
to use the same Handler.
When the CLI is launched after the GUI, the CLI automatically finds and
uses an in–progress Login Session with a BTS initiated under the GUI.
This allows the use of the GUI and the CLI in the same BTS Login
Session.
If a CLI Handler is already running when the GUI is launched (this
happens if the CLI Window is already running when the user starts the
GUI, or if another copy of the GUI is already running when the user
starts the GUI), a Dialog Window displays the following Warning
Message:
The CLI Handler is already running.
This may cause conflicts with the LMF.
Are you sure that you want to start the application?
This window also contains YES and NO Buttons.
Selecting YES starts the application.
Selecting NO terminates the application.
CLI Format Conventions
The CLI Command can be broken down in the following way:
S Verb
S Device including Device Identifier Parameters
S Switch
S Option Parameters consisting of:
Keywords
Equals Sign (=) between the Keyword and the Parameter Value
Parameter Values
Spaces are required between the verb, device, switch, and option
parameters. A hyphen is required between the device and its identifiers.
Following is an example of a CLI Command.
measure bbx–<bts_id><bbx_id> rssi channel=6–Sector=5
Refer to the LMF CDMA CLI Reference (68P09262A25) for a complete
explanation of the CLI Commands and their usage.
Logging Into a BTS
Logging into a BTS establishes a Communication Link between the BTS
and the LMF. An LMF Session can be logged into only one BTS at a
time.
