Command Tips

• For commands that pass an IP address, such as upgradedevice, you can substitute the hostname for an IP address. See Terminology/Acronyms for hostname rules.
• The copydevice and restartdevice commands apply only to some Raritan devices. Dominion SX and IPMI servers are not supported by these commands.
• Parts of a command in square brackets are optional. You do not have to use that part of the command.
• Some commands contains two segments separated by the "Or" sign: |

  You must enter one of the listed parts of the command, but not both.

• Parts of a command in angle brackets show the text that you must type. Do not type the angle brackets. For example:

  Command syntax	Device ID value	You should type
  ssh -id <device_id>	100	ssh -id 100

• The default escape character is a tilde followed by a period. For example:

  ~.

  See End SSH Connections for details on using the escape character and the exit command.

You may have problems using the escape character in the Linux terminal or client. Raritan recommends that you define a new escape character when establishing a port connection. The command is connect [-e <escape_char>] [port_id]. For example, to define "b" as the escape character when connecting to the port with id 2360, type connect -e b 2360.
