17.1. Command Conventions

Most commands described in this section conform to the following conventions:

• PowerControlFunctions: Standard TSM Series units and Standard RSM Series

units do not support power control functions. Power reboot and switching functions

are only available on RSM-8R8 Series units.

• ApplyCommandtoAllPorts: When an asterisk is entered as the argument of the

/D (Disconnect) or /E commands (Erase Buffer) the command will be applied to all

ports. For example, to erase all port buffers, type /E * [Enter].

• ApplyCommandtoAllPlugs: (RSM-8R8 Series Units Only) When an asterisk is

entered as the argument of the /ON (Switch Plugs On), /OFF (Switch Plugs Off) or

/BOOT (Reboot Plugs) commands, the command will be applied to all plugs. For

example, to reboot all allowed plugs, type /BOOT * [Enter].

• CommandQueues: (RSM-8R8 Series Units Only) If a switching or reboot

command is directed to a plug that is already being switched by a previous

command, then the new command will be placed into a queue until the plug is

ready to receive additional commands.

• "Busy"Plugs: (RSM-8R8 Series Units Only) If the "Status" column in the Plug

Status Screen includes an asterisk, this means that the plug is currently busy, and

is in the process of completing a previously issued command. If a new command

is issued to a busy plug, then the new command will placed into a queue to be

executed later.

• PlugNameWildCard: (RSM-8R8 Series Units Only) It is not always necessary

to enter the entire plug name. Plug names can be abbreviated in command lines

by entering the first character(s) of the name followed by an asterisk (*). For

example, a plug named "SERVER" can be specified as "S*". Note however, that this

command would also be applied to any other plug name that begins with an "S".

• SuppressCommandConfirmationPrompt: When any command that normally

requires confirmation is invoked, the ",Y" option can be included to override the

Command Confirmation ("Sure?") prompt. For example, to reboot Plug 4 without

displaying the Sure prompt, type /BOOT 4,Y [Enter].

• ConnectedPorts: When two ports are connected, most RSM commands will not

be recognized by either of the connected ports. The only exception is the Resident

Disconnect Sequence (Default = ^X ([Ctrl] plus [X]).)
