Additional information

The following section is for those options that require additional explanation.

member

This setting contains a table of the devices or members that belong to the group.

This setting can be prefaced with the following options

  • set - whichever members are listed when using this command are the only ones that are included in the group
  • Syntax: set member <member1> <member2>...
  • append - any members included in the command when using append will be added to the existing list of members
  • Syntax: append member <member3> <member4>...
  • clear - removes all members from the group
  • Syntax: clear member

When adding multiple members, each member should be separated by a space.
