11.4. Command Set

This section provides more detailed information on all APS-8/16M 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-8/16M will send the "Disconnected" message, followed by the Port Status Screen.
