General Control Commands
open
To open a controller, use the open command. The open
command prepares a particular controller for access by the CLI. If
you specify this command when another controller is open during
a particular command session, the CLI closes the currently opened
controller and then opens the specified controller.
Syntax
open [/readonly{=boolean}]
[/domain{=string}] {string}
Parameters
{string}
Specifies the computer name and the controller you want to
open. For the string, use the standard format
\\nodename\AACn, where n is the controller number.
For local controllers, you can omit the \\nodename in the
string specification.
If the computer name has a dash (-) in the name (for example,
proj-athena), enclose the entire string within quotes. For
example:
“\\proj-athena\aac0”
Switches
/readonly{=boolean}
Specifies whether to open the controller for read-only access.
A value of TRUE indicates the CLI opens the controller for
read-only access.
If you do not specify this switch, it defaults to /
readonly=FALSE (which means the CLI opens the
controller for read/write access).
Note that if you open the controller with read-only access,
you can use only the commands that do not change the
controller configuration.
