Getting Command Line Help
Online help is available for all switch commands. A multilingual, language-
independent online help facility provides help information via the command:
HELP [topic]
If a topic is not specified, a list of available topics is displayed. The HELP
command displays information from the system help file stored in FLASH
memory. The help file uses a simple mark-up language to identify topics,
access level (USER or MANAGER) and help text. Both standard ASCII and
Unicode character encodings are supported. Alternate help files can be
uploaded and stored in FLASH, then activated using the command:
SET HELP=helpfile
To display the current help file, enter the command:
SHOW SYSTEM
The help file is easily modified, for example to provide detailed site-specific
support information. The mark-up language specification and preprocessor
program are available from your authorised distributor or reseller.
Also, typing a question mark “?” at the end of a partially completed command
displays a list of the parameters that may follow the current command line,
with the minimum abbreviations in uppercase letters (see Figure 1 on page 18).
The current command line is then re-displayed, ready for further input.

Setting System Parameters
You can set some general system parameters to ensure the switch’s
compatibility with the public network, and to aid network administration.
Some services, for instance ISDN, use slightly different versions in different
countries. To make sure that the switch uses protocols consistent with the
services it is connected to, set the system territory to the country or region in
which your switch operates. Enter the command:
SET SYSTEM TERRITORY={AUSTRALIA|CHINA|EUROPE|JAPAN|KOREA|
NEWZEALAND|USA}
