Get/Set Operation of new tokens using CCTK CLI mode.

UEFI Network Stack• UEFI Networking Stack helps in allowing pre-OS and early OS

networking features to use enabled NICs . This option may be used without PXE turned on.

• Current value of UEFI Network Stack can be checked by using below command of cctk.

cctk --uefinwstack• To disable the UEFI n/w stack we can use the below command of

cctk. cctk --uefinwstack=disable• To enable the UEFI n/w stack we can use the below command of cctk. cctk --uefinwstack=enable


OROM Keyboard Access• "OROM Keyboard Access" allows/prevent users from accessing the

integrated Intel RAID (CTRL+I), MEBx( CTRL+P),and LSI RAID(CTRL+C) Orom during and MEBx in the Boot Menu. Other OROMs which support entry via a key sequence are not affected by this setting.

• Current value of UEFI Network Stack can be checked by using below command of cctk.

cctk --oromkeyboardaccess

• To disable the oromkeboardaccess we can use the below command of cctk.

cctk --oromkeyboardaccess=disable• To enable the oromkeboardaccess we can use the below command

of cctk. cctk --oromkeyboardaccess=enable


Peak Shift and Peak shift Configuration:• To utilize the power consumption in a much efficient manner

during peak hours of the day (i.e, when the power consumption is at the peak), peak shift helps to avoid power consumption from power supply. This enables electricity to be consumed at a more efficient way. It has three components which is mentioned below:

– Peak Shift Start-->At this time, the system will stop using AC power and switch to use power from the battery

– Peak Shift End -->At this time, the system will switch back to use AC power if it is available.• Note: Even if AC power is used again, charging is prevented until

Peak Shift Start.– Peak Shift Charge Start-->At this time charging is restarted following a

Peak Shift End.


• To get the current Peakshift configuration we can execute below command of cctk.

cctk --peakshiftcfg

• To disable the Peakshift and Peakshiftcfg we can use the below command of cctk.

cctk --peakshiftcfg=disable

• To enable the Peakshift and Peakshiftcfg we can use the below command of cctk.

cctk --peakshiftcfg=enable


• To configure the peakshiftcfg , peakshiftcfg should be enabled first and then we could able to configure peakshiftcfg for single day or multiple days. – We can configure the peakshiftcfg using below format:

cctk --peakshiftcfg=enable,days-hh:mm/hh:mm/hh:mm– Note: The input should be in format hh:mm<=hh:mm<=hh:mm i.e.

Start time<=End time<=Charge start time– Time should be in 24 hours format i.e. 0- 23 – While entering hours and minutes field we have to give double digit

number – Ex: For input of 0 hrs. and 0 min we have to give input as 00:00 and

min should be multiple of 15 i.e.15,30,45,00

• Ex: cctk --peakshiftcfg=enable,mon-05:00/08:00/11:00,tue-06:30/09:30/12:00


Peak shift Battery Threshold• This is a percentage-based number that follows the Windows

reported battery life value .The goal of this setting is to try and ensure that Peak Shift does not turn off charging when the battery is in danger of running out of power.

• If the Battery Threshold is reached, the system will switch to AC power ,even if the system has not yet reached Peakshift End. However , charging will not resume until Peak Shift Charge Start time is reached.– Note: Peak shift Battery threshold takes the value in the range

between 15-100.• To set the value of Peak shift battery threshold we can use below

command of cctk.cctk --peakshiftbatterythreshold=<15-100>


Onscreen Buttons:• All-in-one(AIO) systems contain On-Screen Display(OSD) buttons .

These buttons are designed to match the functionality of stand-alone LCD panels and their associated OSD features.

• To disable the Onscreen Buttons we can use the below command of cctk.

cctk --onscreenbuttons=disable• To enable the Onscreen Buttons we can use the below command of

cctk.cctk --onscreenbuttons=enable


Advanced Battery charging Mode and Advanced battery charge configuration:When Advanced Battery charging Mode enabled ,the interface allows user to input times weekly for "Beginning of Day" and "Work Period" for each of the seven days of the week. "Beginning of Day" corresponds to the time to begin the workday, and "Work Period” is a number of hours and minutes that the user will be working on the system.For EX:BOD:9:00 AM,WP:8:30 = Day starts at 9:00 AM and goes until 5:30PM BOD:10:00PM,WP:10:00 = Day starts at 10:00PM and goes until 8:00 AM• To get the current advanced battery configuration we can execute

below command of cctk.cctk --advbatterychargecfg


• To disable the Advanced Battery charging Mode use the following cctk command:

cctk --advbatterychargecfg=disable• To enable the Advanced Battery charging Mode use the following

command:

cctk --advbatterychargecfg=enable• To configure the advanced battery charge configuration ,

advbatterychargecfg should be enabled first and then we could able to configure advbatterychargecfg for single day or multiple days. To configure the advbatterychargecfg , use the command in format:

cctk --advbatterychargecfg =enable,day-hh:mm/hh:mm– Note: Time should be in 24 hours format i.e. 0- 23 – While entering hours and min field we have to give double digit

number.– Ex: For input of 0 hrs. and 0 min we have to give input as 00:00

and min should be multiple of 15 i.e 15,30,45,00.


Dock display port 1 video sourceThis bios token helps us to make use of either integrated or external video controller if both are present on the system.

• To configure the source for HDMI and external video controller on port we can use the following command.

cctk --dockdisplayport1vs=external• To configure the source for HDMI and integrated video controller on

port 1 we can use the following command.cctk --dockdisplayport1vs=integrated


Wireless Radio control SwitchThis bios token helps us to turn ON or OFF the wireless radio control switch.

• To disable the Wireless Radio control Switch we can use the below command of cctk.

cctk ---wirelesswitchwigigctrl=disable

• Enable the Wireless Radio control Switch we can use the below

command of cctk. cctk ---wirelesswitchwigigctrl=enable


Mmioabove 4 GBThis field enables or Disables 64 bits capable PCI devices to decoded in above 4GB address space(Only if system supports 64 bit PCI decoding)• To disable the Mmioabove 4 GB we can use the below command of

cctk. cctk --mmioabove4gb=disable

• To enable the Mmioabove 4 GB we can use the below command of cctk.

cctk --mmioabove4gb=enable


Optional Boot SequenceThis options allows Windows to be installed on Pcs when more than one operating system volume is present(i.e During OS installation ,the installer can access a hard drive as D:)This settings is disabled by default for Maximum compatibility with existing installation tools,but should be changed if more than one operating system volume is present.• To disable Optional Boot Sequence we can use the below command of
