Command Response
The CLI operates on a c response paradigm. Each time a command is entered, a response will
be displayed.
If the device’s RS-485 address is between 0 and 6 (inclusive), the response format will be:
<CR><LF><response><CRC><CR><LF>
If the device’s RS-485 address is 7, the response format is:
<CR><LF><response><CR><LF>
If a command was executed correctly, the
<response>
will start with “
ok
” and will be followed by the
sequence of parameter-value pairs that are specific to the response.
If a command did not get executed correctly, the
<response>
will start w
ith “
err
” and will be followed by a
description of the error that was encountered.
The potential errors that may be displayed include:
Invalid Command
– The command was not recognized
Invalid Parameter
– One or more parameters were not recognized
Invalid Value
– The value provided for one or more parameters was not valid
Missing Parameter
– A required parameter was not provided
Inconsistent Values
– The values provided to at least one parameter is not consistent with the
values provided to other parameters
Bus Error
– The hardware required to process the command does not exist on this
device (e.g. BUC-specific command sent to an SSPA)
Due to the inherent collisions that can occur between multiple addressed units operating on a shared
serial bus, a remote processor should not send a subsequent command to any unit until it has received
the response to the last command it sent to any other. For this reason, the address of a unit is not
included in its response as it is not needed by the remote processor, and thus the command response
format for a unit remains the same (with the exception of the inclusion of a CRC) whether the unit is
operating in Addressed Mode or Non-addressed Mode.
Sample command in Addressed Mode (RS-485 address 0 to 6):
Tx:
1/getidentJ<CR>
Rx:
<CR><LF>ok pn AMP-Ku100 swver 1.0.1_1 sn # address # syn no„<CR><LF>
Sample command in Non-addressed Mode (RS-485 address 7):
Tx:
getident<CR>
Rx:
<CR><LF>ok pn AMP-Ku100 swver 1.0.1_1 sn # address # syn no<CR><LF>
