Table 11-2. The Command Mode

Option Description

1. Async Channel A selection of loopback tests. See Section 12.3, Async Channel Loopback in the

Loopback Command Mode, for a complete discussion of the tests.

2. Local Channel Provides control and modification of the locally connected port. After entering Command

Configuration Mode, the terminal user may reconfigure port parameters. All changes will take effect after

exiting the Command Mode. From this menu the following Asynchronous Channel

Characteristics can be set for the local port: data rate, code level, parity, stop bits, echo, CR

delay, LF delay, and FF delay. A discussion of these characteristics is found in Section 9.3,

Asynchronous Channels, and in Table 9-8.

For ports connected via dialup modems, parameters reconfigured in the Local Channel

Configuration Menu remain in effect only for the duration of the call. When the call is

disconnected, the port converts back to the configuration set by the Command Facility.

For directly connected ports, the parameter changes remain in effect until changed in this

menu or in the Channel Characteristics menu.

After all the changes have been made for the port, return to the Command Mode Menu and

exit. Make the changes on the terminal to match the selected configuration. To ascertain the

correct configuration values for the the device connected to the port, consult its user manual.

3. Command Accesses the Command Facility. Once you enter the Command Facility you cannot return to

Facility Main the Command Mode via a menu. Port or channel access to the Command Facility can be

Menu limited by in two ways:

• Access to the Command Facility can be limited by assigning a global password. See

Section 11.5, Network Security, for more information.

• The terminal accessing the Command Facility Main Menu must have the Command Facility

Main Menu Access function enabled. The factory default is enable. (The Command Facility

Main Menu Access function is option 10 of the Channel Features Menu. See Section 9.3,

Asynchronous Channels, and Table 9-11 for more information.)

4. Exit Disconnects the terminal from the Command Mode.
