Introduction
A computer can monitor a PROFINET Controller module and check its operation on the network by
accessing the module’s built-in Command Line Interface. If a problem occurs, the Command Line
Interface can be used to help pinpoint the cause.
The Command Line Interface operates in background mode on the PROFINET Controller. It cannot
be used during powerup diagnostics or when the module is in firmware update mode. The Command
Line Interface may not be accessible during very heavy communications load.
This chapter describes the Command Line Interface, and explains how to use it.
Chapter 2, Monitor Commands defines the commands, counters, and Log Events that can be used
to view information about the operation of the network.
Chapter 3, Modify Commands defines additional password-protected commands that can be used
to control network functions.

Accessing the Command Line Interface
A computer can access the PROFINET Controller’s Command Line Interface either through the
module’s built-in Micro USB port or through the PROFINET network, using telnet with a terminal
emulation application such as HyperTerminal.
When connecting through the Micro USB port, a driver compatible with the PROFINET Controller’s
Micro USB port must first be installed as described in the PROFINET Controller Manual, GFK-2571.
Setting Up Telnet on the PROFINET Controller
A computer’s terminal emulation application can be used to communicate with the PROFINET
Controller via telnet. Telnet is initially disabled on the PROFINET Controller. It can be enabled by
connecting a Windows-based computer to the module’s Micro USB port, entering the telnetd
Command Line Interface command, and power-cycling the module.
Telnet functionality is accessed through port number 23.
Serial port settings must be 115200 baud, 8-None-1, with no flow control.
Once telnet has been enabled, it remains enabled through power cycles unless it is disabled again
using the telnetd Command Line Interface.
Note: If the PNC is power cycled or reset an established terminal emulation connection will
cease to work. Performing a manual Disconnect/Connect operation in the terminal
emulation program will restore operation of the connection.
Terminating a Command Line Interface Session
A Command Line Interface session terminates if:
1. the terminate command is entered.
2. the terminal application is disconnected, either physically or by command.
3. the session becomes inactive. The Command Line Interface automatically disconnects if the
session has remained inactive for the timeout period. The inactivity timeout value can be viewed
with the show sessionTimeout command. The default timeout, 600 seconds (10 minutes), can be
changed using the modify-level sessionTimeout command.
Terminal-related parameters (such as display settings and Alias values) that have been established
during a Telnet session are lost when the Telnet session is terminated. However, terminal-related
parameters that are established using the Command Line Interface are retained until the next power
cycle / restart.

GFK-2572 Chapter 1 Introduction 1-3

Initial Prompt
After connecting a computer to the Command Line Interface, the following prompt appears:
device-name>
The device-name is the PROFINET Device Name of the module. If the device has not been
named yet, the device name is an empty character string “”.
The >indicates the Command Line Interface session is in the Monitor access level, which provides
a limited set of commands. Changing to Modify access level enables use of a greater number of
commands. In the Modify access level, the prompt changes to: =
Entering Parameter Values
Parameter values must be alphanumeric characters, except for a few special commands that are
specified in the command descriptions. Parameters can be passed in single quotes or double
quotes.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Some useful keyboard shortcuts include:
Ctrl –a jump to beginning of line.
Ctrl –e jump to end of line.
Ctrl-k cut remainder of line.
Ctrl-f move cursor forward one character.
Ctrl-b move cursor back one character.
Up / down cycle between previously used commands
The help edit command lists all command line editing shortcuts.

Viewing the Commands
To view the commands that are available in the current mode, at the Command Line prompt enter
either:
help to see the available global and non-global commands.
?to see only the non-global commands.
help global to see only the global commands
Completing a Partially-Typed Command
Enter ?or press the Tab key to automatically complete a partially-typed command or parameter.
Note: To complete “no” to “node” use ?, not Tab.
Listing the Parameters of a Command
After a command has been fully entered, type ?to list the possible parameters for that command,
and help text associated with those parameters.
Example for showing the ARP table:
device-name>
Initial display
device-name> sho?
Enter sho? to view self-completion help.
device-name> show
Enter show to see the full command
device-name> show ?
Enter show ? to view the available show parameters.
Partial results:
arp - Show ARP table
config - Show Configuration items
device-name> show arp
Enter arp to display the ARP table.
The “No” Parameter
For certain commands, entering a no parameter produces the opposite result. For example, the
command telnetd enables telnet while no telnetd disables telnet. The Command Line Interface help
shows these commands as: [no] command.

GFK-2572 Chapter 1 Introduction 1-5

Access Levels for the Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface provides two access levels of commands:
Monitor access level commands –these are commands that do not affect the operation of the
module, or that are read-only. Monitor level commands are always accessible. The Command
Line Interface always starts (or restarts after inactivity) at Monitor access level. See chapter 2 for
detailed definitions of Monitor level commands.
Modify access level commands –these commands can be used to change some operating
parameters, such as certain configuration items. Modify level commands are password-protected
and have predefined login names. See chapter 3 for Modify level command definitions.
Note: If a Modify level command is entered while at Monitor level, the message "Error: Bad
command Syntax:" will appear.
Global Commands
Global commands are basic commands (such as help) that are always available at the current
access level. Some global commands are available only in Modify access level mode (not Monitor
mode). For example, the command login is a Monitor access level global command. However,
logout is a Modify access level global command.
Example of Global Command Use
PROFINET Controller prompt in Modify level (not in Configuration mode):
device-name=
Enter help global to view available global commands at the Modify access level:
device-name= help global
alias - Text substitution
cls - Clear the screen
help - Show available commands
history - Show command history
log - Display local log table
node -Display Identification and physical module information
show - Show system attributes
terminate - End a command shell session
Non-Global Commands
Non-Global commands are commands whose functionality varies at different access levels.

Command Summary
The tables in this section summarize the PROFINET Controller Command Line Interface commands.
In addition, they indicate the access levels and modes where various commands are valid.
A command that can set a parameter and that has an equivalent show command to display the
current value(s) associated with that parameter displays the same information as the show
command form if the command is entered without any parameters. For example, entering
deviceName in Configuration mode with no parameters displays the same information as show
config deviceName.
Commands/parameter names that can be unambiguously interpreted with fewer letters are accepted
as though the full command/parameter were entered. For example, the command show config ip
displays the same information as show config i because there are no other parameters following
show config that begin with i. Likewise, the whole command can be abbreviated sho co i.
Commands and parameters (when applicable) are not case-sensitive.
In the tables that follow:
Global
The command is available in all modes and access levels.
Non-Global
The command capability or access to certain parameters change in some modes
or access levels.
[ ]
The parameter is optional. Within the brackets each possible option for that
parameter is listed, with a bar | between parameters.
< >
Parameters that can take on a range of values are shown in angle brackets

alias
Global Command
This command provides a mechanism for assigning a name to a string, which allows
replacement of a word or string with another string. This is useful for abbreviating a command,
or for adding default arguments to a regularly used command. For example, the command alias
sh show sets up the alias sh for show, which may be used to issue subsequent commands, for
example sh time for the show time command. Alias strings that include a space must be
enclosed with quotations (for example, alias scfg “show config”). Aliases may be deleted by
entering alias followed by the alias value. For example alias sh deletes the sh alias. Entering
alias with no parameters shows all the currently defined aliases. Alias definitions do not persist
between Command Line Interface sessions or across power cycles.
alias Command Format
alias [Replacement Text> [<CommandCommand Name>]]
<Replacement Text>
Any string using alphanumeric values. If a space is desired
within the string, the aliasValue must be enclosed in quotations
(single or double).
<Command Name>
Typically a string containing any valid Command Line Interface
command or parameter combinations. If the string contains
spaces, the string must be enclosed within quotations (single or
double).
