Western Telematic CMS-16 manual Command Response

Page 50

●Slash Character: Most CMS commands begin with the Slash Character (/).

●Apply Command to All Ports: When the asterisk character is entered as the argument of the /D command (Disconnect Port), or the /E command (Erase Buffer) the command will be applied to all ports. For example, to erase all port buffers, type /E * [Enter].

●Port Name Wild Card: It is not always necessary to enter the entire port name. Port names can be abbreviated in command lines by entering the first character(s) of the name followed by an asterisk (*). For example, a port named "SERVER" can be specified as "S*". Note however, that this command would also be applied to any other port name that begins with the letter "S".

●Suppress "Sure?" Prompt: When the /D (Disconnect Port), /E (Erase Buffer), or /I (Default and Test Unit) commands are invoked, the /Y option can be included in the

command line to override the "Are you Sure (y/n)?" prompt. For example, to disconnect Port 8 without displaying the "Sure?" prompt, type /D/Y 8 [Enter].

●Enter Key: All commands are invoked by pressing [Enter].

●Command Mode: CMS Ports will only recognize commands when the Command Mode has been activated. The Command Mode can be accessed from a free Any-to-Any or Modem Mode Port. To access the Command Mode, proceed as described in Section 5.1.

●Connected Ports: When two ports are connected, most CMS commands will not be recognized by either of the connected ports. The only exception is the Resident Disconnect Sequence (Default = [Enter]+++[Enter]).

●Configuration Menus: To exit from a configuration menu, you must press [Esc] or [Ctrl]+[X].

10.2. Command Response

When commands are sent to the CMS, the unit can respond with either verbose (English Text) or terse messages (numeric / abbreviated). The default message type for all ports can be set to either terse or verbose using Option Switch Six.

After the unit is installed and configured, the port configuration commands (/P and /N) can specify an individual response format for each port. In addition to the Terse and Verbose response modes, the port configuration commands can also select the Quiet Mode. When the Quiet Mode is selected, the port will not send messages in response to commands.
