Introduction
This chapter provides the command line interface (CLI) options available for the IOLAN. The 
commands are grouped by function.
CLI Conventions
This section explains how to interpret the CLI syntax.If you are an existing Terminal Server customer 
and would like to configure the IOLAN in the native Terminal Server interface, you can type the 
command 
ts-config
 to display and use the native Terminal Server interface (you must have 
User 
Level Admin
). See your Terminal Server User Guide for information on using the Terminal Server 
interface.
Command Syntax
Each command is broken down into several categories:
z
Description—Provides a brief explanation of how the command is used.
z
User Level—Shows which user level(s) (Restricted, Normal, and/or Admin) can issue the 
command. Some commands have options that are available for one user level and not for another 
level; this usually occurs when a command is valid for both Normal and Admin user levels, 
where the Admin user level command will have extended options.
z
Syntax—Shows the actual command line options. The options can be typed in any order on the 
command line. The syntax explanation will use the following command to break down the 
command syntax:
set service [dhcp/bootp on|off] [telnetd on|off] [httpd on|off]  
[snmpd on|off] [spcd on|off] [syslog on|off] [dmgrd on|off]
Square brackets ([]) show the options that are available for the command. You can type a 
command with each option individually, or string options together in any order you want. 
For example,
set service dhcp/bootp on telnetd off
Angle brackets (<>) show that the text inside the brackets is a description for a variable 
value that you must fill in according to your requirements. In the 
set server
 command, 
you must determine the values for 
domain
internet
name
password-limit
, and 
subnet-bit-length
, if you wish to specify them and not use their defaults (default values 
provided in the Options description). The angle brackets can also contain a range that can be 
used.
The pipe (|) shows an ’or’ condition. For example, valid values for 
telnetd
 are either 
on
 or 
off
.
