8.5Entering the SCM

Type an escape sequence to invoke the SCM from the SRM console. You can enter SCM from a modem, or from a local console device. From a VGA monitor, you can enter SCM commands from the SRM console.

You can enter the SCM from the local console device regardless of the current operating mode.

You can enter the SCM from the modem if the SCM is in through mode, snoop mode, or local mode. In snoop mode the escape sequence is passed to the system and displayed.

Entering from a Console Device

Invoke the SCM from a console device by typing the following default escape sequence (six plus signs):

<Esc><Esc>scm

To exit, enter the quit command. This action returns you to whatever you were doing before you invoked the SCM. In the following example, the quit command returns you to the system COM1 port.

SCM_E0> quit

Returning to COM1 port
