7-13
The remote system is organized in a tree structure. The structure defines sub-systems. In
order to access command lower in the tree or in different branches the entire command string
should be used. Indentation is used to indicate the root level and the branches. The highest
level is to the left. The complete command always
includes all the root levels.
A space between a command string and an option is required, except in a query * where a
space is not allowed.
Enter more than one command on a line by using a semicolon “;” as divider. A command line
is terminated by <CR> >LF>. If the next command is part of the same command system the
separation is a “;” only. If the next command is part of another command system the “;” is
followed by a “:”.
Parameters are separated from the header by a space. A comma separates several
parameters.
Character strings should be placed in single or double quotation marks.
The valid parameter ranges are shown in the command tables. Non-valid values generate an
error message.
