Command line interface

The Probe for Alcatel-Lucent 5529 OAD is supplied with a command line interface (CLI). This interface allows you to perform commands using the probe (for example, to acknowledge alarms or to request a full resynchronization of the JMS interface). To use the CLI, you must use the CommandPort property in the properties file to specify a port through which commands will be sent. When you want to perform commands, telnet to this port.

The following table describes the commands that you can use with the command line interface.

Table 1. CLI commands
