13.5Terminal Mode

In this mode, system events are continually logged through the serial port to the device connected to the port. Port 2 operates by default in Terminal mode.

The printed log entries contain a time and date stamp and the alarm text message. Terminal mode uses this format for printing alarm entries:

MMM DD HH:MM:SS.hh KYWD MESSAGE

:::: <CR> <LF>

MM

KYWD

::::System Diagnostic Information

<CR>

An alarm message is prefixed by the word “CLEAR” whenever an alarm is entered into the Event History Log with a cleared status.
