Ambiguous Commands

If you enter part of a command, and that part is not unique, the console displays a numbered list of possible matching
commands. For example, entering

show pnnin

is ambiguous because there are several commands that start with

“pnnin.” In response, the SmartCell 6A000 displays a list of the possible commands:

SmartCell ZX # show pnnin

< “pnnin” is ambiguous

Objects beginning with pnnin for action show

0 : PnniNeighbor

1 : PnniNetworkLink

2 : PnniNetworkNode

3 : PnniNode

4 : PnniNodeTimer

(#)Command (Q)uit? : 3

< I meant PnniNode, so I enter number three (3) from the list

SmartCell ZX # show PnniNode

Selecting number three from the list automatically enters the corresponding command; pressing enter executes the
command:
