Compaq GS320, GS160, GS80 manual Defining the COM1 Data Flow

8.7.1Defining the COM1 Data Flow

Use the set com1_mode command from SRM or SCM to define the COM1 data flow paths.

You can set com1_mode to one of the following values:

through	All data passes through SCM and is filtered for the escape
	sequence. This is the default.
snoop	Data partially bypasses SCM, but SCM taps into the data lines
	and listens passively for the escape sequence.
soft_bypass	Data bypasses SCM, but SCM switches automatically into
	snoop mode if loss of carrier occurs.
firm_bypass	Data bypasses SCM. SCM remote management features are
	effectively disabled.
local	Changes the focus of the COM1 traffic to the local 9-pin port if
	SCM is currently in one of the bypass modes or is in through
	mode with an active remote session.

Example

SCM_E0> set com1_mode snoop
