9.2. A/B Switching - Text Interface

When using the Text Interface, all A/B switching functions are performed by invoking simple, ASCII commands. The Text Interface includes a Help Menu, which summarizes all available AFS-16 commands. To display the Text Interface Help Menu (Figure 9.1), type /H and press [Enter].

Note: When the Help Menu is displayed by an account that permits SuperUser, User or ViewOnly level commands, the screen will not include commands that are only available to Administrators.

9.2.1.The Circuit Status Screen - Text Interface

When you login to the AFS-16 command mode via the Text Interface, the first screen displayed after login is the Circuit Status Screen. The Circuit Status Screen lists the current status of the AFS-16’s Circuit Modules, and also displays the current temperature, Monitor/Alarm Input status, Alarm Contact Output status and the user-defined Site I.D. Message. The Circuit Status Screen will be re-displayed each time a command is successfully executed.
