Lightwave Communications 3200 user manual Bye Command, Overview of Commands

At power-up, the network card does not respond to network connect requests until the control card has completed its system initialization. Once the power-up sequence is complete, the network card obtains its network parameters from the control card, and is ready to accept connections over the network. It is important to note that the network card does not retain its network parameters (i.e., IP address, subnet mask, gateway address) if moved from one card slot to another. The network parameters remain assigned to a card slot, and will be assigned to whatever network card is in that slot.

7.3Modem Card

The modem card allows users to remotely access the servers attached to the ConsoleServer 3200 via a dial-up connection. The modem automatically detects the connection speed, and allows connections of up to 38.4K baud. The control card must complete its start-up initialization check before a user may access the ConsoleServer 3200 through the modem card.

The modem card must be installed in card slot "A" of the ConsoleServer 3200 chassis. The modem card will not function if it is inserted in any other card slot, nor will any other card type function in slot A. To connect the modem card to the telephone network, insert an ordinary telephone cable (RJ11) in the jack on the modem card, and insert the other end in a telephone network jack, as outlined in section 5.3. See section 6.6 for instructions on setting the modem initialization string.

The user interface for the modem card is identical to that found on the terminal card with the exception of one command, which is outlined below. Only one user at a time may connect to the modem card.

7.3.1 The Bye Command

A user may disconnect from the modem card and automatically log out from the ConsoleServer 3200 by sending the BYE command. This command will work at any login level that the user may send commands to the ConsoleServer 3200 (i.e., logged out, logged in, and monitor mode). When the command is received, the modem card disconnects the telephone connection, and then logs the user out from the ConsoleServer 3200. This command is unique to the modem card user interface.

7.4Overview of Commands

Several levels of access are available to the user, from simple access of the ConsoleServer 3200 to direct access of servers attached to the ConsoleServer 3200. Many of the commands are sensitive to which level the user is in, and not all commands are available at all levels.

The first prompt the user should see after connecting to the ConsoleServer 3200 is the LCI3200> prompt (additional information may be on the screen as indicated in the
