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.

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

Table 11-2 on the following page.
