Syntax Summary
The following syntactic notation is used for the API shell control
commands.
Note All defined commands are case sensitive.
<x> A required parameter. The text between the angled
brackets is one or more parameter(s) that can occur at the
specified point in the command. Multiple parameters are
listed separated by the “|” character (pipe) which is a
notational shortcut for "or.” If the text between the angled
brackets is in parenthesis, then it is a user comment of the
expected parameter, rather than an enumeration of the
valid parameters.
Example
allowdialing <yes|no|get>
[x] An optional parameter. As with required parameters,
optional parameters may be presented with a '|' character
(pipe) to indicate choices.
Example
gabpassword <set|get> ["password"]
.. Indicates a range of values.
Example
displaybolt <n|{0..100}>
"x" String parameters to be supplied by the user are denoted
with quoted strings (example: “symbol”). In general,
parameters are supplied from a set of defined string
values that are specifically enumerated. These values are
command specific. Note: a quoted string parameter can
contain any value.
Example
The command gabpassword <set|get> ["password"]
requires that the user supply the string parameter
password as shown in the following example:
gabpassword set MyPassword
