Introduction
Query commands consist of a command name followed by a series of parameters. Operating companies use query commands to display the characteristics of telephone lines. Query commands allow users with access to a DMS I/O Device (IOD) to determine the status (working or unassigned) of Directory Numbers (DN) or Line Equipment Numbers (LEN) associated with lines.
The information received through query commands simplifies service order preparation. Entering the query command QDN (Query Directory Number) and a DN gives a user information about the hardware and software associated with the DN of a particular line.
Query Commands
The Line Data Base (LDB) query commands are used to:
The commands can be executed at any level of the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) system. A command is not needed to enter or leave the query mode. A user logged on at a MMI position can enter a query command.
Either the prompt or no-prompt mode of entry can be used. Entering a $ (dollar sign) character indicates that the user is either finished entering data for a parameter or has accepted the default parameter. The user can confirm, reject, or edit the input the same way as for Service Order (SERVORD) commands.
Note: The format for the query commands output, with the exception of QDN, has been altered when the summary option is used. The drawer totals for each peripheral are written on two lines when the peripheral has more than 17 drawers. Two lines are required if the total number of drawers chosen is greater than 17. No change is made to the type of information that is displayed.
Entering Query Commands in No-Prompt Mode
In no-prompt mode, query commands are entered by the user along with the required correct parameters. In case of an error, the DMS switch reverts to the prompt mode of entry, beginning at the point where the invalid parameter was entered.
Entering Query Commands in Prompt Mode
To enter query commands in prompt mode, perform the following actions:
When all parameters have been entered, the DMS switch displays or prints the order as entered. The user must enter a Y (to accept the command), a N (reject), or a E (edit).
