11.2 The Command Mode

The Command Mode is a single menu which supports configuration and testing of the local port and access to the Command Facility Main Menu. The local port is defined as the one to which the terminal you are using is connected.

ENTERING THE COMMAND MODE

The Command Mode is accessible from any local async port. Local ports are those on the Multiserver or any of its attached feeder muxes. At any time, two ports plus the command port (on the optional NMS module) may access the Command Mode.

The terminal you use must initially meet the specifications outlined in Section 6.2, Connecting an ASCII Terminal, and Table 6-1. The parameters can be reconfigured.

Access the Command Modes by ^X followed by <break>. (Async channels can be configured to also accept ^X^Y. This is done through option 8 of the Channel Features menu. See Section 9.3, Asynchronous Channels, and Table 9-11for further information.)
