GENERIC PROTOCOL

“R”: Router Reset
Use this command to force the routing switcher to reset, by sending it the command "RESET". If
an administrator password has been set (using the “G ADMIN_PASSWORD” command
described later in this document), then the password must be sent in a “K” message prior to
sending this command, else this command will generate an error. For example, the command:
**RESET!!
would initiate a reset (if the password has been entered, if required), and when the router finished
the reset operation, something like this would be received, just as if the router had powered up:
** RESET Tahoe Vx.xx (C) 2000~ !!
“I”: Capabilities Inquiry
The command "I" requests that command capability information be returned to the host. The
information is sent as a string of characters. The first characters are a space followed by "I", the
next characters are the letters of the commands that are implemented and available in this router,
and the last character is "~" (tilde). Do not count on the characters being in any specific order.
Search all characters for a particular one.
All routing switchers implement the I, L, S, and X commands. The Q command will
eventually be added to all.
For example, the command: **I!!
might return the following string:
** ILSX~ OK !!
indicating that the router supports the I, L, S, and X commands from the host.
“Q”: Model Name and Software Version Inquiry
The command "Q" requests that the router model name and software version number string be
returned to the host. The information is sent as a string of characters. The first characters are a
space followed by "Q", the next characters are the router model name, terminated by a "~" (tilde).
Following this are the characters of the software version number string, again terminated by a "~"
(tilde).
For example, the command:
**Q!!
might return the following string:
** QSmall~V2.1~ OK !!
indicating that the router model name is "Small" and the software version number is "V2.1".
