Command Line Entry Conventions

Most Cajun A500 console commands require that you press Enter to execute the

command. This documentation does not include this instruction unless the specific

action differs from this standard. For example, when rebooting the Cajun A500, the

system prompts you with

Are you sure you want to reboot?

. When you enter

the system accepts this without you having to press Enter.

Syntax Structure

In general, each command uses the following format:

{verb} {object} {info_type} [target_object] [data]

This format is defined in Table 5-3.

When you enter a command without specifying a target object, the CLI prompts for it.

For example:

Select ATM port (A1.1 - A4.8):

If you had enter a complete command, such as

admin link_type a1.1

, no further

prompting by the CLI is necessary, and only the results of the command display.
