Overview

This manual describes the communications product commands that are used to manage various modem types and Data Service Units (DSUs).

This chapter provides information on using the 6800 Series Network Management System (referred to as NMS in this document) and accessing the modem/DSU commands. It also provides a description of the command format used in this manual to document each command. It includes instructions on entering abbreviated versions of options and wildcard characters when specifying command execution parameters. The common fields (Destination for results and Schedule execution) in the command input forms are defined in detail to eliminate the repetition of this information for each command.

The modem/DSU commands can be used with the COMSPHERE
and DATAPHONE
II data products. You access these commands under Network Control in the Manager task. The Trending Reports and call statistics reports commands can also be accessed from the Performance Reports task. Functionally, the commands under the Performance Reports task operate the same as those commands of the same name under Network Control in the Manager task.
