NOTE: If already setup for remote authentication, such as a RADIUS server (See Section 2.2.6),
you must update /etc/nsswitch.conf file to allow local users:
Step 1: Edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. Uncomment the two lines for "Local authentication
only":
passwd: files
group: files
Step 2: Comment out these two lines:
#passwd: files gateway_passwd
#group: files gateway_groups
Step 3: Create and configure users using the pw command
Step 4: Return the /etc/nsswitch file back to its original state
3.6 Status Command
The ATS-6501 provides overall system status, health, and measurement results via the status
command available on the command port (1700). For more detailed information and a
description of the fields refer to Appendix B.
Status provides a sequence of field names to distinguish various devices and information from
one another. Each information field has a unique ID. Users can display the entire set of data
fields using the status command. It is possible to further refine the data requested by adding
additional information fields to the command line. For example, if the user simply wanted to get
the information on this system type status unit.
