Dial Mode (dm)

(Disruptive)

Use the dm command to switch the primary data path from the private (APL or DDS) facility to the switched backup facility for COMSPHERE 3400/4400 Series modems and COMSPHERE 3600 Series DSUs. The backup facility must be in place prior to the switch of the primary data path. The backup facility is established using the Standby Facility (sf) command or the Dial (dial) command.

For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command's results and schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.
