this form of the command will "ACK" all unacked points in the appropriate system
list.

This set of commands allows the user to perform network diagnostic functions and
to view diagnostic information. The user must log in at the appropriate level
DIAGNOSTIC by itself elicits a data dump of the diagnostic data kept at the
local node. DIAGNOSTIC followed by a number elicits a data dump of the diag-
nostic data kept locally for the node specified. DIAGNOSTIC followed by a key-
word performs actions pertinent to the keyword. Multiple keywords may be typed
in the same input line separated by spaces. If an error occurs on the input
line, none of the actions are performed and an appropriate error message is
returned. Note that some diagnostic commands are not supported by ES Net.

- help WALKTEST
This command initiates or stops walktest. The command must be followed by arg
after which eight qualifiers can be passed in the command line in any order.
Arg is the walktest group number. WALKTEST followed by a number, returns the
current walktest status for the group specified. Qual must be chosen from the
following: ON, OFF, LOG, NOLOG, ZONE, ZERO, SIG, and NOSIG. If any qualifier is
omitted in the command line, the current value remains in effect. Qualifiers
are evaluated from left to right. If conflicting qualifiers are input, the
If OFF is input, all other qualifiers are "remembered" for use when WALKTEST

This is a pagination switch which can be appended to any one of the following
commands which might scroll off the screen: HELP, CLIST, LIST, SHOW, TERMINAL,
or DIAGNOSTIC. If the command line ends with a "/P" and output is greater than
will fit on one screen, the display will stop with the screen full and prompt
the user to "Press Return For More Output". While paused, unsolicited output
will be held up. A time delay will allow the screen to be paused for no more
than 30sec. Typing CTRL+X while paused will terminate the command. Unsolicited
output will be allowed only after the command has completed all output
applicable. Without the "/P", text will scroll off the screen if the screen
fills up. If used where not available, an Invalid command syntax error message
will be returned.
