11.2 The Command Mode
The Command Mode is a single menu which
supports configuration and testing of the local port
and access to the Command Facility Main Menu.
The local port is defined as the one to which the
terminal you are using is connected.
E
NTERING THE COMMAND MODE
The Command Mode is accessible from any local
async port. Local ports are those on the Multiserver
or any of its attached feeder muxes. At any time,
two ports plus the command port (on the optional
NMS module) may access the Command Mode.
The terminal you use must initially meet the
specifications outlined in Section 6.2, Connecting
an ASCII Terminal, and Table 6-1. The parameters
can be reconfigured.
Access the Command Modes by ^X followed by
<break>. (Async channels can be configured to
also accept ^X^Y. This is done through option 8 of
the Channel Features menu. See Section 9.3,
Asynchronous Channels, and Table 9-11 for further
information.)
The Command Mode menu will appear:
The options of this menu are detailed in
