Entity Specification Syntax for LINE Entities
To describe LINE entities:
NOTE: You can use a D-series measurement application to measure G-series LINE entities if the
application specifies all LINE entities (ADD LINE *) or specifies only $device or $device (cpu).
If an application specifies controller, channel, or unit, you must modify the entity identifiers
to measure G-series LINE entities.
LINE entity-spec [,entity-spec] ...
LINE
collects information about one or more communication lines.
entity-spec
is specified as:
{ * }
{ $device }
{ cpu [ ( %Htrackid [, clip [, line ] ] ) ] [ ( type [, subtype ] ) ] }
or for D-series data only, specified as:
{ $device [ ( cpu [ , channel [ , ctrl [ , unit ] ] ] ) ] }
where:
*
measures all communication lines in all CPUs.
$device
is the device name of the line to be measured. To indicate all lines, use an asterisk (*).
cpu
is the number of the CPU in which the line to be measured is configured. To indicate all
CPUs, use an asterisk (*). The default is all CPUs.
%Htrackid
(G-series) is the identifier of a specific SWAN concentrator enclosure of three CLIPs. (Each
CLIP controls two lines.) To indicate all TRACKIDs, use an asterisk (*).
The TRACKID is recorded in the SEEPROM of the controller. The TRACKID is usually printed
on an external label on the enclosure as well.
clip
(G-series) is 1, 2, or 3 to indicate a specific CLIP within a SWAN concentrator enclosure,
or it is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 to indicate a specific CLIP within a SWAN 2 concentrator
enclosure. To indicate all CLIPs, use an asterisk (*).
