Access CLI and Trouble Log over mux, configuring via XML

This example uses CLI to import XML configuration. The import configures Line 1 for mux, Virtual Line 1 for CLI, and Virtual Line 2 for the trouble log. It then shows how to use both those virtual lines over mux. Because it uses CLI to import the XML configuration, it assumes Line 1 is already enabled and using the Command Line protocol, as is default.

Step 1 - Import XML configuration

1. Connect the xPico 600 to a PC using a serial cable.
2. On the PC, open a terminal such as Tera Term and connect to the device using serial. This example uses Tera Term.
3. Send config to enter the config level.
4. Send Line 1 to enter the config Line 1 level.
5. Send Flow Control Hardware to set Flow Control to Hardware. Flow Control is required to import XML configuration.
   
6. Paste the following XML in Tera Term.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<!-- Automatically generated XML -->
<!DOCTYPE configrecord [
   <!ELEMENT configrecord (configgroup+)>
   <!ELEMENT configgroup (configitem+)>
   <!ELEMENT configitem (value+)>
   <!ELEMENT value (#PCDATA)>

   <!ATTLIST configgroup name CDATA #IMPLIED>

   <configgroup name = "Line" instance = "Virtual_2">
      <configitem name = "Name">

      </configitem>
      <configitem name = "State">

      </configitem>
      <configitem name = "Protocol">
         <value>Trouble Log</value>
      </configitem>
      <configitem name = "Gap Timer">
         <value>&lt;Four Character Periods&gt;</value>
      </configitem>
      <configitem name = "Threshold">
         <value>56 bytes</value>
      </configitem>
      <configitem name = "Push">
         <value></value>
      </configitem>
   </configgroup>
</configrecord>

Step 2 - Use mux to access CLI on Virtual Line 1

1. Disconnect Tera Term and reconnect to the xPico 600 to access mux on Line 1.
2. Enter 1v1 to connect to Virtual Line 1 as instance 1. Note that mux does not echo input characters.
   
3. Enter 1sb~ to prepare to send data. The ~ is specified as the escape character.
   
4. Enter ?~ to prepare the ? CLI command. The ~ followed by a newline terminates the data. Note that a newline is not being sent to the Virtual Line 1 because one isn't needed after the ? command.
   
5. Enter 1p to send the prepared data.
   
6. Enter 1rb~2000 to receive data. You will see the results of the ? command.
   
7. Etner 1sb~ to prepare to send data again.
   
8. Enter config to prepare the config command with a newline. Unlike the ? command, the config command requires a newline.
9. Enter ~ to send the escape character and indicate the end of the data being prepared.
   
10. Enter 1p to send the prepared data.
    
11. Enter 1rb~2000 to receive data. You can repeat steps 7 through 10 to send CLI commands over mux to the Command Line on Virtual Line 1.
    

Step 3 - Use mux to access the trouble log on Virtual Line 2

1. Enter 2v2 to connect to Virtual Line 2 as instance 2.
   
2. Enter 2rb~2000 to receive data from the trouble log.
   
3. If there is more data, repeat step 2 as necessary to receive additional data from the trouble log.
