6.5.3 Prefixes an Shortcuts
The available commands depend on the submenu currently active.
To access a command from a different submenu the command can be prefixed
with the name of the submenu and a . (Dot), e.g. you can use PM.G826 DSL1
to display the G.826 statistics for SHDSL span 1 while in the Configuration sub-
menu. If the Performance Management submenu is active then G826 DSL1 will
display the G.826 statistics and CM.CONFIG DSL1 will display the configuration
of DSL span 1.
Note:
Prefixing is only available on the Watson Ethernet plug-in.
The most popular commands are available in all submenus as shortcuts:
Command
Shortcut
CONNECT
CON
DIAGNOSTIC
DIA
DISCONNECT
DIS or <ESC>

6.5.4 Tab completion
You can use tab completion to simplify typing of long commands. By typing the
<TAB> character in after entering the first character(s) of a command word the
Monitor will try to complete the command as much as possible. Example:
LTU_01_CM> SN <TAB> will do a partial completion of the command to
LTU_01_CM> SNMP
Typing now C <TAB> will complete the command to
LTU_01_CM> SNMPCOMMUNITY
Notes:
 Tab completion is only possible for commands, not for parameters.
 Tab completion is only available on the Watson Ethernet plug-in.
6.5.5 Help
Typing H or HELP at any submenu will list all commands available in that subme-
nu in alphabetical order. Typing H Command (or HELP Command) will display
help for a particular command.
6.5.6 Command History
The Watson Ethernet plug-in keeps a command history. To recall a command
recently entered use the up-arrow and down-arrow keys to scroll through the his-
tory of commands. Commands may be edited by using the DEL key and the cur-
sor keys.
