Giving Commands
When you have established the connection, you can use the
commands (described in Table 25 on page 129) to communicate with
MAWS. Commands are actually text sent from the PC or terminal to
MAWS.
To open the connection, give the
open
command To close the terminal
connection, give the command
close
. Logging is not affected unless it
is stopped using the
logstop
command. In closed mode, the serial line
will be available for report sending.
NOTE
Both
open
and
close
commands have to be typed exactly right before
they can be executed. This means, you can not use the BACKSPACE
key to correct your typing. Simply retype the command and press
ENTER to give the command again.
Most of the commands can be used for both setting a value to some
parameter or viewing the set value of the parameter.
Type
help
to get a list of the available commands. Each command
must be entered using the correct syntax. You do not have to
memorize any complex commands since at any time you can view a
help text that shows the correct syntax. Just type
help
and the
command name.
