6.15 Request Software Revision Level (REV) Command)

The REV command requests the CM to transmit the software revision level. The REV command string must contain a command flag (# or $) prior to the line feed (LF) character. If an echo flag occurs in the command string, the user must issue a GO command before the PS chassis will return the revision level message. When the remote control device sends the “REV#CRLF” command string, the selected PS chassis respond with the following message:

Patch Remote Control Module

Revision x.y

Copyright ADC Telecommunications, Inc.

The characters x.y above represent the revision level of the software.

6.16 Request Status (UPdate Command)

The UPdate command requests the CM to transmit the status of all the modules contained in the selected PS chassis. The UPdate command string must contain a command flag (# or $) prior to the string terminating CR/LF characters. If an echo flag ($) occurs in the UPdate command string, the user must issue a GO command before the PS chassis status is transmitted.

6.17 Status Responses

Status is transmitted from the CM to the requesting remote control device in one of three formats. The format transmitted depends upon the type of select command used when the chassis is originally selected. If the “TLKxx” command activated the PS chassis, the status response formats outlined in Table 7-2through Table 7-5are returned. The status response format associated with the "SPKxx" command is outlined in Table 7-6. The status response format associated with the “CRTxx” command is described in the SwitchMate Switch Cluster Controller Software Specification, ADCP-50-595.

6.18 TLKxx Format

When using the TLKXX format, control is by means of menu selections, module position entries, and control keys. Each of these are described in the following paragraphs.

6.18.1 Menu Selection

When using the TLKxx format, most data entries are through menu selections. All menus are described later in this section as part of the operating procedures.

The > symbol shown with each menu is the “invitation to type”, indicating that system is waiting for operator input. Default key-ins are shown in parenthesis. A dash in parenthesis indicates that there is no default selection for the menu.

(–) > — To enter a selection, type selection number and press RETURN.

(3)> — The number in parenthesis indicates the default selection. To enter a different selection, type desired selection number and press RETURN. If number in parenthesis is the number of the desired menu item, just press RETURN.
