Appendix D Detailed Command Information
The commands are listed alphabetically. Each command is listed with an explanation of what it
does along with examples. All of the commands are case sensitive. The system will inform the
operator that the commands were executed by returning an “OK” or other language denoting the
command has been accepted. Operators will be informed if the system cannot recognize the
command or syntax that was entered. In such cases where the data value entered is out of range
or is incorrect the ATS-6501 will generate an error message and will leave the current operating
value for that parameter unchanged and provide the operator with the acceptable range of values.
The system will recognize alphanumeric characters as well as the dash(-), single quotes’’, and the
underscore’_’ when attempting to save user configuration files. Use of any other characters is
prohibited and strictly enforced and the user will be informed they attempted to use an illegal
filename.
If the system cannot recognize the configuration, status, network or settings parameter the
operator is requesting it may return “no info”. Make sure the fields were typed correctly for the
data you are attempting to retrieve.
Command Arguments:
• [ ] Any arguments contained are optional and can be left out if desired.
• < > Any arguments used with command.
• | is used to separate alternative inputs for a single parameter (e.g., On/Off, 1/0)
