Modem/DSU Commands

Dial Standby (ds)

￿￿￿￿￿u￿t￿￿￿￿

Use the ds command to switch the primary data path from the backup facility to the private (APL or DDS) facility for COMSPHERE 3400/4400 Series modems and COMSPHERE 3600 Series DSUs.

The backup facility connection is not disconnected by this command, but is held on standby. The backup facility is disconnected through use of 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.
