DSI Signaling Server SGW Mode User Manual Issue 5
4.5 Command Entry
Each character entered is echoed to the operator’s terminal. The BS (backspace) or DEL (delete) character
can be used to delete characters entered within the current line. This causes the Signaling Gateway to output
the sequence BS space BS. On a visual display terminal, this has the effect of deleting the last character
entered from the display.
Commands can be entered whenever the command prompt has been output. Commands are terminated by
a semicolon (;) followed by CR. Commands may exceed one line on the terminal, but may not exceed 100
characters.
If a command takes parameters, a colon is used to separate the command from the parameters. A comma
(,) is used to separate multiple parameters.
To ensure correct operation of the character deletion, the maximum number of characters entered on a
single command line should be no greater than the number of characters that can be displayed on a single
line of the terminal (to prevent text “wrap around”). If a command is longer than one line, each line before
the last should be terminated with a complete parameter value followed by a comma and CR. The command
can then continue on the next line. If you wish to specify more parameters than can be entered on a single
initiate command, you should use the initiate command to enter mandatory parameters, then use a change
command to specify additional parameters.
A partially entered command can be aborted using the CAN character. The system outputs an indication that
the command has been aborted, followed by a prompt for new command input. The CAN character can also
be used to abort an output listing on the operators terminal.
4.6 Dangerous Commands
Commands that affect the Signaling Gateway operation are considered DANGEROUS commands. If a
DANGEROUS command is entered, the Signaling Gateway outputs the following on a new line:
Are you sure? [Y/N]
The operator must enter Y followed by CR to continue the execution of the command. Any other valid input
character apart from SP or CR, followed by CR, causes the command to be aborted.
4.7 Changing Configuration Data
Many configuration commands require that certain other commands have been entered first (for example to
block a link before removing a boards configuration). These rules are described on a per-command basis as
prerequisites.
4.8 Command Responses
The Signaling Gateway does not, in general, produce output unless it is in response to an operator command.
The only exception to this is the auto log off warning message and the log off message (when log off is
initiated automatically).
The auto log off warning message is as follows:
WARNING: Auto log off imminent!
When a syntactically correct command has been issued to the Signaling Gateway, acceptance is indicated by
the Command Executed output as follows:
EXECUTED
An invalid command is not acted upon. The Signaling Gateway indicates command rejection by issuing one of
the responses in Table 1. Only the first error detected in a command is indicated.
