APS-8M Asynchronous Port Switch; User’s Guide
11.4. Command Set
This section provides more detailed information on all APS-8M commands,
sorted alphabetically by name.
[Enter] Enter Command Mode
In order to set parameters or connect ports, you must first access command
mode as described in Section 5.1. When command mode is inactive (port
asleep), the port will only respond when the
[Enter] key is pressed without any
characters preceding it. If you have defined at least one password that permits
access to Supervisor Mode, the unit will require a password before allowing
access to command mode.
Availability: Supervisor Mode / Non-Supervisor Mode
Format: [Enter] (Press [Enter] twice if other characters have already
been typed.)
Response: The Port Status Screen will be displayed, followed by the
command prompt.
^X Resident Disconnect Sequence
The Resident Disconnect Sequence is issued to disconnect your resident port
from another port. For example, if you are communicating via Port 3, and Port
3 is connected to Port 4, the Resident Disconnect Sequence would be used
to disconnect Port 3 from Port 4. Although the default Resident Disconnect
Sequence is ^X ([Ctrl] plus [X]), the command format and Logoff Character
can also be redefined via the Port Configuration Menus. Note that a three
character disconnect command can also be selected.
Availability: Supervisor Mode / Non-Supervisor Mode
Format: ^X
Response:
Verbose: The APS will send the "Disconnected" message, followed by the
Port Status Screen.
Terse: 3
