	Entry Sequence		accessing the Command Mode. If the ^X^Y option is chosen, then both
			^X^Y and ^X <break> can be used to access the Command Mode. If
			^X Break is chosen, then only ^X <break> will access the Command
			Mode.
9.	Command Mode	Enable	Enables/disables access to the Command Mode for the port being
	Access		configured. If the Command Facility Main Menu Access is enabled, then
			this feature must be enabled.
			• To permit the user access to Async Channel Loopback tests and Local
			Channel Configuration only, enable this option and disable Command
			Facility Main Menu Access.
			• To allow only Channel Loopback tests to the user, enable this option,
			disable Local Channel Configuration, and disable the Command Facility
			Main Menu Access.
			See Section 11. 2, The Command Mode, for more information on the
			Command Mode.
10. Command Facility		Enable	Enables/disables access to the Command Facility Main Menu for the port

			to enter the Command Facility via the Command Mode menu. If entering
			via the $CMD matrix, switching must be enabled for the port (see Section
			10.7, Asynchronous-Channel Switching Parameters). When disabled,
			the user cannot view or change the system operating parameters. The
			channel user can still access the Command Mode (if enabled) for local
			channel configuration (if Local Channel Configuration is enabled) or for
			performing channel loopback tests.
			See Section 11.3, Configuring the Command Facility, for more
			information on the Command Facility.
11. Local Channel		Enable	Enables/disables access to the Local Channel Configuration Menu
	Configuration		for the port being configured. Both this feature and the Command Mode
			Access must be enabled to access the Local Channel Configuration

menu. Once accessed, the user can make changes to that port’s operating parameters. If this feature or Command Mode Access is disabled, access to the Local Channel Configuration menu will be blocked.
