How to use the findme feature on AlliedWare Plus devices?

How do I use the findme feature on AlliedWare Plus routers?

Introduction

This command is used to physically locate a specific device from a group of similar devices. Activating this command causes a selected number of port LEDs to alternately flash green then amber (if that device has amber LEDs) at a rate of 1 Hz. An optional timeout parameter specifies the flash behavior duration. Normal LED behavior is restored automatically after either the default time, or a specified time has elapsed. You can specify which interface or interfaces are flashed with the optional interface parameter.

To deactivate this command prior to its timeout, use the no variant form of this command.

Examples:

To activate the Find Me feature on all ports for the default duration (60 seconds)
awplus# findme
   
To activate the Find Me feature for 120 seconds on all ports, use the following command: 
awplus# findme timeout 120
 
To activate the Find Me feature on switch port interfaces port1.0.2 through port1.0.4, use the following command: 
awplus# findme interface port1.0.2-1.0.4
   
To deactivate the Find Me feature, use the following command: 
awplus# no findme
