Craft-5
Command Line
Prompt
The initial prompt defaults to the module directly connected to the
Craft interface cable. The command line prompt is defined below:
[0.0.0.1] [0,11] NCM 2000 >
Where:
[0.0.0.1] is the node address of the node to which you are
connected. This number is used by modules and the Verilink
Node Manager application to identify a node. Each AS2000
node has a unique address. This value is completely unrelated
to an Ethernet IP address.
NOTE: The first three digits of the node address must NOT be greater than
127.
[0,11] is the shelf number and slot number of the currently
selected module. NCM 2000 is a sample of the command line
prompt, showing the model name of the currently selected
module.
This field reads UNKNOWN > when the shelf/slot location is
empty, the element has been removed, or if the module is not
recognized by a controller module.

Conventions Used
The Craft interface uses the following conventions:
•
In application modules with multiple network or data ports, an
n is used to represent the port number. For example, to put
Port 2 in service, type “I2” instead of “In”. In some older
modules “p” represents the port number.
•
Ranges of permitted values are depicted with ellipses. For
example, you can choose any number in the range 1 to 127
seconds to indicate the Alarm Declare Time. This is shown as
1..127. However, when you provide input indicating ranges,
do so with a dash: 1-24. This example indicates all numbers
between 1 and 24, including the numbers 1 and 24. You can
also intermix single numbers with range definitions if they are
separated by commas, such as: 24, 38-45, 60.
•
Fields without a closed parenthesis, ), are status/informational
fields.
