Modem/DSU Commands

Make Busy (mkb)

(Disruptive)

Use the mkb command to enable or disable COMSPHERE 3800 Series modems or DATAPHONE

IIDirect Distance Dial (DDD) devices. This command simulates a busy signal by placing a resistor across the switched network line at the specified modem. This places the modem out-of-service.

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.
