Overview
This manual describes the communications product commands that are used to manage various
modem types and Data Service Units (DSUs).
This chapter provides information on using the 6800 Series Network Management System
(referred to as NMS in this document) and accessing the modem/DSU commands. It also provides
a description of the command format used in this manual to document each command. It includes
instructions on entering abbreviated versions of options and wildcard characters when specifying
command execution parameters. The common fields (Destination for results and Schedule
execution) in the command input forms are defined in detail to eliminate the repetition of this
information for each command.
The modem/DSU commands can be used with the COMSPHEREr and DATAPHONEr II data
products. You access these commands under Network Control in the Manager task. The Trending
Reports and call statistics reports commands can also be accessed from the Performance Reports
task. Functionally, the commands under the Performance Reports task operate the same as those
commands of the same name under Network Control in the Manager task.
