Command Entry Features

The GranDSLAM 4200 uses Transaction Language No. 1 (TL1) language for CLI
commands and messages. These commands and messages are used to
configure and maintain the system.

TL1 offers the following features to help you with command entry:

T

Automatic command completion. You need to type only enough of a
command to make it unique, then type a question mark (?) and the CLI replies
with the correct syntax for the command.

For example, if you enter:

RTRV-H

the CLI expands it to:

RTRV-HDR:[TID]::[CTAG];

T

Automatic completion of optional fields. Pressing the Tab key while
entering a command causes the CLI to fill in the optional fields.

For example, enter:

RTRV-HDR

Press the Tab key, the CLI fills in the TID:

RTRV-HDR:TL1-Agent

Press the Tab key twice again, the CLI fills in the delimiters:

RTRV-HDR:TL1-Agent::

Press the Tab key again, the CLI fills in the CTAG:

RTRV-HDR:TL1-Agent::100

Keep pressing the Tab key to fill in the rest of the command delimiters:

RTRV-HDR:TL1-Agent::100::;

T

Command listing. If you begin typing a command, then press the Tab key, the
CLI cycles through all the commands that contain the characters you have just
typed.

For example, enter:

RTRV-PROFILE

Press the Tab key, the CLI displays:

RTRV-PROFILE-ADSLALM

Press the Tab key again, the CLI displays:

RTRV-PROFILE-ADSLDNALM

Press the Tab key again, the CLI displays:

RTRV-PROFILE-ADSLDN
