9.2.2. A/B Switching Commands - Text Interface
These commands can be used to switch AFS-16’s circuit modules, and can also be
used to set circuits to the user-defined default A/B positions. Circuits may be specified
by number, name or Circuit Group Name.

When A/B switching commands are executed, the AFS-16 will list specified switching
actions for each applicable Circuit Module, then display a "Sure?" prompt and wait for a
user response before completing the command. The unit will then return to the Circuit
Status Screen.
To switch Circuits or Circuit Groups, proceed as follows:
1. SwitchCircuit(s)to"A"Position: Type /TA n and press [Enter]. Where "n" is
the number or name of the desired Circuit or Circuit Group. For example:
/TA 1 [Enter] or /TA DATACENTER [Enter]
2. SwitchCircuit(s)to"B"Position: Type /TB n and press [Enter]. Where "n" is the
number or name of the desired Circuit or Circuit Group. For example:
/TB 2 [Enter] or /TB SERVERS [Enter]
3. SetAllCircuitstoDefaultA/BPositions: Type /DC and press [Enter]. All circuits
permitted by your account will be set to their default A/B status, which is defined via
the Circuit Parameters Menu as described in Section 5.7.
