10.4. Command Set

This Section provides more detailed information on all CMS commands, sorted alphabetically by name.

[Enter] Enter Command Mode

In order to set parameters or connect ports, you must first access the command mode as described in Section 5.1. When the Command Mode is inactive (port asleep), the port will only respond when the [Enter] key is pressed without any characters preceding it. If the Supervisor Password (command /F) has been defined, the unit will require a password before allowing access to Command Mode.

Availability: Supervisor / User

Format: [Enter] (Press [Enter] twice if other characters have already been typed).

Response: The Port Status Screen will be displayed, followed by the "CMS>" command prompt.

[Enter]+++[Enter] Resident Disconnect Sequence

The Resident Disconnect Sequence is issued to disconnect your resident port from another port. For example, if you are communicating via Port 3, and Port 3 is connected to Port 4, the Resident Disconnect Sequence would be used to disconnect Port 3 from Port 4. Although the default Resident Disconnect Sequence is [Enter]+++[Enter], the command format and Logoff Character can also be redefined via the Port Configuration Menus as described in Section 5.5.3. Note that a one character disconnect command can also be selected.

Availability: Supervisor / User

Format: [Enter]xxx[Enter]

Where "x" is the selected Logoff Character, and the default character is "+".

Verbose: The CMS will send the "Disconnected" message, followed by the Port Status Screen.
