Command Example:
ATS-6511>software_update tflex-4-2-2.iso
Note: If the iso image is not on the system the command will attempt to execute, display a
line feed and the system will return to the command prompt. If this occurs the iso file must
be uploaded to the system before the software can be updated.
Status:
Description: Show unit status. The status command displays all the status variables for
the system. Status variables provide the current state of the system and are not modifiable
by the user nor can they be saved. This command is the equivalent to the show status
command and the status variables also appear on the status port (port 1900).
A specific subset of the status variables can by requested by specifying the specific node
within the hierarchy that is desired. For instance, status gps displays the current GPS status
for the system.
Syntax: status <d MAX_DEPTH> <NODE>
MAX_DEPTH limit display to MAX_DEPTH levels of data
NODE specifies a node to display
Command Example:
ATS-6511>status
See Also: show, settings, network, config, save, load
Status_port:
Description: Switch to the status port. Changes the current command port (1700)
connection into a status port (1900) connection. Hitting the <return> key will switch the
connection back into a command port connection.
The status port (1900) outputs information about the current state of variables within the
system. When the connection is first established the system will output the current state of
all the variables but then will only output changes to the variables from that point on. This
is useful in creating a graphical interface to display only the information you want and is
useful in monitoring key aspects of the system.
The status port is intended primarily for automated consumption by another system but is
displayed in ASCII format to make it human-readable. Each line of output is given in the
following format:
<TIMESTAMP> <KEY>=<VALUE>
TIMESTAMP is the system time that the variable was set to that value and does not
represent the current time of the system. KEY is the name of the system variable. VALUE
is the current value of that system variable.
