The ADTRAN CLI contains help to guide you through the configuration process. Using the 
question mark, do any of the following:
•

Display a list of all subcommands in the current mode. For example:

(config-t1 1/1)#coding ?
ami - Alternate Mark Inversion
b8zs - Bipolar Eight Zero Substitution

•

Display a list of available commands beginning with certain letter(s). For example:

(config)#ip d?
default-gateway  dhcp-server  domain-lookup  domain-name  domain-proxy

•

Obtain syntax help for a specific command by entering the command, a space, and 
then a question mark (?). The ADTRAN CLI displays the range of values and a brief 
description of the next parameter expected for that particular command. For 
example:

(config-eth 0/1)#mtu ?
<64-1500> - MTU (bytes)

Jump to the beginning of the displayed command line. This shortcut is helpful when using 
the no form of commands (when available). For example, pressing <Ctrl + A> at the 
following prompt will place the cursor directly after the #:
(config-eth 0/1)#ip address 192.33.55.6

Jump to the end of the displayed command line. For example, pressing <Ctrl + E> at the 
following prompt will place the cursor directly after the 6:

(config-eth 0/1)#ip address 192.33.55.6

Clears the current displayed command line. The following provides an example of the 
<Ctrl + U> feature:

(config-eth 0/1)#ip address 192.33.55.6 (Press <Ctrl + U> here)
(config-eth 0/1)#

You need only enter enough letters to identify a command as unique. For example, 
entering int t1 1/1 at the Global configuration prompt provides you access to the 
configuration parameters for the specified T1 interface. Entering interface t1 1/1 would 
work as well, but is not necessary.
