Overview
To configure the AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount, connect an ASCII terminal or a
personal computer to the Terminal port of the AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount.
The AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount ASCII terminal interface provides a
command-line interface for manipulating the operation of the AirLink Pro
T1/E1 Rack Mount, including configuring operational parameters, monitoring
operation, and responding to alarm conditions. The command line interface also
provides an online help facility to aid you in entering commands. You can also
type in a help request for a particular command combination.
You can type a question mark (?) at the end of any command field, and the
command interpreter will display the next valid keyword or operand that you
can enter.
If you press <Return> before the command is complete, the command interpreter
displays the next valid keyword or operand that you can enter. If the command
is complete, the system will execute the command.
The command line interface is described in more detail in the following
sections.
