Giving Commands
When you have established the connection, you can use the commands
(described in Table 18 on page 123) 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.
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.
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.
