Wrench Problem Executing Firmware Command using Shell Script

Guys,

I have a script that should change one of the configuration Parameter in a http accelerator, this config change which will halt http traffic into device. So I have designed a script which should do these changes. But after executing this script, found that one of the input variable is not getting assigned & the changes are not being implementated into the accelerator device & http traffic is not being halted. So anybody do you have resolution to this issue, for which im going to have my script placed here to help you guys.
Code:
# sample Script to Outrotate the Device in Question
# Script Creation Date 01/21/2010
# Author baraghun

##*******************************************************************************************************
##  **********  FUNCTION USAGE  ***********
##*******************************************************************************************************
##

# Script name without path

BASENAME=`basename $0`

#The INFILE is going to use during the SSH

INFILE=${HOME}/config/inFile.txt

#The changes will write to OUTFILE

OUTFILE=/tmp/outFile.txt

# Functional Usage

usage() {
        echo
        echo "USAGE"
        echo "   "`basename $0`" <device> <disable|enable> "
        echo
        exit
        }
outrotate() {
        echo
        echo "OUTROTATE"
        echo "**********************************************************************"
        echo " Removing your Device `${htACC}` in Question . . . "
        echo "**********************************************************************"
        echo
}

trafficrouting() {

 #Local Variables
      #
       local STATE="$1"
      #

cat << EOF > $INFILE
po1023
pssphrase
config
switch accMode RouteTrafficACC  THIS SECTION is a FIRMWARE COM's
admin  ${STATE}
bye
bye
write memory
y
bye
goodbye
EOF
}

#
#Validate the device name
#
echo $1 | egrep "^(CMOX|PXOM|TXOM)[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\-ra$" > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
   echo
   echo "Node doesn't exist"
else
   echo "You are lucky enough"
fi
htACC="$1"

# Check the  parameters
#
[ $# -ne 2 ] && usage

# Check the input parameters
#
case $2 in

disable)
                RouteTrafficACC disable
        ;;
enable)
                RouteTrafficACC enable
        ;;
        *)
                usage
        ;;
esac


#
# Apply the changes
#
ssh -T ${htACC} < $INFILE >> $OUTFILE
#
# Remove unused files
#
chmod 777 ${OUTFILE}


Now the issue description is here

1. Function one (usage) is being executed only with first variable (device) for which we do get a response back. But the second variable <disable|enable> is not being recognized.

2. Since issue is with the Function one's 2 variable, function two (outrotate) is not being executed along with the function three's {STATE} & save command is not functioning to disable the device.

Here is the output of the script
Code:
$ ./outrotate.sh CMOX1234-ra disable
You are lucky enough

USAGE
   DPoutrotate.sh <device> <disable|enable>

The Log from outFile

Serial number: 1X23K00C0

ACC># Global configuration mode
ACC>(config)# ACC>[accMode](config)# Modify Multi-Protocol Gateway configuration
ACC>[accMode](config RouteTrafficACC)# Usage: admin <enabled|disabled>
ACC>[accMode](config RouteTrafficACC)# ACC>[accMode](config)# ACC>[accMode]# Unknown command or macro (write memory)
ACC>[accMode]# Unknown command or macro (bye)
ACC>[accMode]# Goodbye

So from the above logs you can figure out where the issue existing. its none other than the admin STATE.
