Understanding Command Modes
The Cisco IOS user interface is divided into many different modes. The commands
available to you at any given time depend on which mode you are currently in. Entering a
question mark (?) at the system prompt allows you to obtain a list of commands available
for each command mode.
When you start a session on the router, you begin in user mode, often called EXEC mode.
Only a limited subset of the commands are available in EXEC mode. To have access to all
commands, you must enter privileged EXEC mode (also called enable mode). Normally,
you must enter a password to enter privileged EXEC mode. From privilegedmode, you can
enter any EXEC command or enter global configuration mode. Most of the EXEC
commands are one-time commands, such as show commands, which show the current
status of something, and clear commands, which clear counters or interfaces. The EXEC
commands are not saved across reboots of the router.
Router(config-controller)# cas-group 1 timeslots 1-24 type
e&m-fgb dtmf ?
dnis DNIS addr info provisioned
service Specify the type of service
<cr>
Router(config-controller)# cas-group 1 timeslots 1-24 type
e&m-fgb dtmf
In this example, the dtmf keyword
is entered. After you enter the dtmf
keyword, enter a ? to display what
you must enter next on the
command line. In this example, you
can enter the dnis or service
keyword to indicate the options
available for dtmf tone signaling.
When the system redisplays the
command, it indicates that you can
enter more keywords or press <cr>
to complete the command.
Router(config-controller)# cas-group 1 timeslots 1-24 type
e&m-fgb dtmf
Router(config-controller)#
In this example, enter a <cr> to
complete the command.
