Option Default Description
8. Command Mode ^X Break There are two keying sequences available to the channel user for
Entry Sequence accessing the Command Mode. If the ^X^Y option is chosen, then both
^X^Y and ^X <break> can be used to access the Command Mode. If
^X Break is chosen, then only ^X <break> will access the Command
Mode.
9. Command Mode Enable Enables/disables access to the Command Mode for the port being
Access configured. If the Command Facility Main Menu Access is enabled, then
this feature must be enabled.
• To permit the user access to Async Channel Loopback tests and Local
Channel Configuration only, enable this option and disable Command
Facility Main Menu Access.
• To allow only Channel Loopback tests to the user, enable this option,
disable Local Channel Configuration, and disable the Command Facility
Main Menu Access.
See Section 11. 2, The Command Mode, for more information on the
Command Mode.
10. Command Facility Enable Enables/disables access to the Command Facility Main Menu for the port
Main Menu Access being configured. The Command Mode Access must be enabled in order
to enter the Command Facility via the Command Mode menu. If entering
via the $CMD matrix, switching must be enabled for the port (see Section
10.7, Asynchronous-Channel Switching Parameters). When disabled,
the user cannot view or change the system operating parameters. The
channel user can still access the Command Mode (if enabled) for local
channel configuration (if Local Channel Configuration is enabled) or for
performing channel loopback tests.
See Section 11.3, Configuring the Command Facility, for more
information on the Command Facility.
11. Local Channel Enable Enables/disables access to the Local Channel Configuration Menu
Configuration for the port being configured. Both this feature and the Command Mode
Access must be enabled to access the Local Channel Configuration
menu. Once accessed, the user can make changes to that port’s
operating parameters. If this feature or Command Mode Access is
disabled, access to the Local Channel Configuration menu will be
blocked.
