Command Line Listing
This command can be used in a number of ways to display available commands and parameters. The following table lists
each operation and provides a basic example.
CLI Rules
Parameter Groupings
For ease of configuring MP.16 products, the parameters have been logically grouped. Parameter tables for each group
contain the following information for each object:
• Name: Parameter, group, or table name
• Type: Data type
• Value: Value range and default value, if any
• Access: Access type
– R = Read Only (can only be viewed)
– RW = Read-Write (can be set or viewed)
– W = Write Only (for passwords and security-sensitive objects)
• Parameter: Parameter name as used in the CLI
Entering Values
Although the data type of a parameter may be “Integer”, in order for the CLI to interpret values correctly, enter the
provided alphanumeric value whenever possible.
Entering Strings
String objects are supported by MP.16 devices; a string delimiter is required for the strings to be interpreted correctly by
the command line parser. In this implementation, the single quote (‘) or double quote (“) character is to be used at the
beginning and at the end of any string that contains spaces. For example:
Rebooting
Some parameter values change only when the unit is rebooted. In these cases, the CLI warns you that a reboot is
required for the change to take effect.
