ADCP-50-304 • Issue 19 • June 1999 • Section 7: Operation

The format for the AL command string parameters is as follows:

AL, <action>, <cardtype> , <startslot> , <endslot>,

<flag>CRLF

The CM issues an error message if any parameter value is not within the specified range of values. An error message occurs if the startslot value is greater than the endslot value.

Note: Alarm conditions are always reported to a Remote Control Unit (PSR-03) and terminal.

Table 7-7describes the syntax for the command string parameters and defines the software operations performed when the AL command is executed.
