%ctUM:PauseTime Problem

Question

I'm unable to get the %ctUM:PauseTime meta command to function correctly in a Device.Cli.Send Commands activity in CatTools 3.6.0.  CatTools is interpreting the "%ctUM:PauseTime 1" line as a command and sending it to the device.  Examining the device log confirms this.  Am I missing something syntactically?  Does whitespace matter?

My activity:

config t%ctCR
snmp-server contact email "noc@webpass.net"%ctCR
clock timezone -8%ctCR
clock auto-correct-DST%ctCR
sntp server 204.14.152.10 version 1%ctCR

%ctUM:PauseTime 05

exit
write mem

The switch received the command:
TELNET:2> %ctUM:PauseTime 05

The device is an Adtran Netvanta managed switch accessed via telnet.

Did you manage to get this working?

I have ran a few tests here and it seems to be fine on my test systems using v3.6.0.

I tried with the %ctUM:PauseTime 5 and %ctUM:PauseTime 05 both were processed correctly.

The only thing I did notice is that after each of your commands (prior to the PauseTime is used) you are explicitly sending a '%ctCR'.

CatTools will automatically send a CR at the end of each command (so long as in your command list, the next command appears on a new line).

You may therefore want to try removing the explicit %ctCR from the end of each of your commands (unless you really want to send a double CR?)

If you are still having issues with the %ctUM:PauseTime function, I'd recommend opening a support ticket so we can collect some logs from you to look into this issue in more details.

Yeah, that didn't seem to change anything.
