ATTO Technology Inc. FastStream VT 5300 Installation and Operation Manual
Appendix C   CLI provides an ASCII-based interface
The command line interface (CLI) uses ASCII commands typed while in CLI mode. 
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not use CLI unless you are directed to 
by an ATTO technician.
Changing parameters may cause loss of 
data and/or disruption to performance and 
reliability of the FastStream. 
The FastStream VT 5300 GUI is the 
preferred method to operate and manage 
the FastStream VT 5300. Refer to 
The command line interface (CLI) is a set of 
ASCII-based commands which perform 
configuration and diagnostic tasks. Refer to 
•  CLI commands are context sensitive and 
generally follow a standard format
[Get|Set] Command [Parameter1|Parameter2] 
 followed 
by 
the 
return or enter key
•  CLI commands are case insensitive: you may 
type all upper or all lower case or a mixture. 
Upper and lower case in this manual and the 
help screen are for clarification only.
•  Commands generally have three types of 
operation: get, set and immediate. 
•  The get form returns the value of a parameter or 
setting and is an informational command.
•  Responses to get commands are followed by 
Ready.
•  The set form is an action that changes the value 
of a parameter or configuration setting. It may 
require a SaveConfiguration command and a 
restart of the system before it is implemented. 
The restart can be accomplished as part of the 
SaveConfiguration command or by using a 
separate FirmwareRestart command. A 
number of set commands may be issued before 
the SaveConfiguration command.
• Responses 
to set commands are either an error 
message or Ready. *. The asterisk indicates 
you must use a SaveConfiguration command 
to finalize the set command. 
•  Set commands which do not require a 
SaveConfiguration command, defined as 
immediate commands, are immediately 
executed.
Note
Using CLI commands during normal operation 
can cause a performance drop. Once 
command actions are complete, performance 
should return to normal levels.
