Parameter Types
Many MR9600 commands require a parameter to complete the command. Most of the required
parameters fall into one of the four following types.
Pathname
Description: A DOS-style path and/or file name. A partial path assumes the current directory.
Full pathname example: a:\mmm\mr9600.ini
Partial pathname example: mr9600.ini
The preceding partial pathname gives the same result as a:\mmm\mr9600.ini if the current working
directory is a:\mmm.
Device
Description: A list of modems or T1 devices separated by commas. No spaces are allowed. A colon selects
a range of devices from the device preceding the colon through the device following the colon.
The device identifier includes the device’s slot number and device letter. A CommPlete Communications
Server has 16 slots, numbered from left to right, with the RASCards occupying slots 1, 5, 9, and 13. Each
modem card contains 8 modems, represented by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. Thus, 7D is the fourth
modem in slot 7.
Examples:
The following two strings each select modems 1A, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H, 3A, 3B, and 4C:
