FCD-E1 Using the Menu-Driven Command Mode 4-17
Command Fields
• When a command has several fields, use the space bar to move the cursor
among the various fields. However, for some commands, the <Enter> key is
used instead: this is indicated in the command description.
• When a field has a limited range of values, the available values can be
displayed by scrolling. Bringing the cursor to the desired field, and then
pressing the F (forward) or B (backward) key until the desired value is
displayed performs scrolling.
• If a certain field is not applicable to the current command, the field shows
N/A
and scrolling is not possible.
N/A will usually appear in fields of a DEF
command that specify parameters not used in the selected operating mode.
• To correct typing errors, backspace by pressing the BACKSPACE key until the
error is cleared, and then type again the correct command.
• For commands, which include more than one page, press <Enter> to
continue to the next page. Command evaluation starts only when the
<Enter> key is pressed on the last page of the command data form.
Ending a Session
FCD-E1 ends the current session in the following cases:
• When the EXIT command is received (for Telnet sessions, use BYE).
• After no terminal activity is detected for the selected log-off time-out interval,
3 minutes (for Telnet sessions, the disconnect interval is determined by the
Telnet apathy time).
After the session is ended, it is necessary to enter the correct password again to
start a new session.
4.6 Using the Menu-Driven Command Mode
Mnemonic Mode Command Syntax
The mnemonic mode command syntax is similar to the explicit mode. The main
rules are as follows:
• Commands can only be entered when the FCD-E1 supervisory port prompt,
FCD>, is displayed.
• Commands are case-insensitive, e.g., you can type commands in either lower
case and/or upper case letters.
• Commands must end with pressing the <Enter> key.
• Do not add parameters after the command (except data channel commands)
however, switches such as /A and /R can be used.
