ASMi-450 Control from the Control Port
ASMi-450 Installation and Operation Manual 4-7
• The address is in the range of 1 through 255 (0 indicates that the selective
addressing function is disabled). The address is a prefix sent in the
following format: Node<SP>nnn<SP>.
• When password protection is on, the addressed ASMi-450 waits for the
password before continuing. After the correct password is received, the
ASMi-450 sends the working prompt, ASMI>.
If password protection is off, this step is omitted and the working prompt
appears after the node address conditions are fulfilled.
• After the working prompt is displayed, every character typed on the
terminal keyboard is immediately evaluated by the ASMi-450 and echoed to
the terminal screen. Full duplex communication with the terminal is
therefore necessary, to provide on-line feedback to the terminal operator.
• Command evaluation starts only when the <CR> key is pressed.
• In case an error is detected during command evaluation, the command is not
executed. Instead, the ASMi-450 will send the erroneous command back to
the terminal, and you will see BAD COMMAND OR PARAMETER.
TYPE 'H' FOR HELP in the next row. The correct command must then be
sent again.
• The command is executed only after it is validated.
• Command execution can be interrupted by pressing BREAK or CTRL-C.
This will result in the display of the ASMi-450 prompt, and a new
command can be entered.
Use the BREAK key (or CTRL-C) to stop the automatic repetition of
commands (/R option).
• If an idle disconnect time-out is specified, the ASMi-450 will automatically
disconnect the ongoing session if no command is received from the terminal
for the specified time-out interval.
