4. Setting Up for Initial Operation
EAC-2100 Manual: (Draft, 02/01) Page 4-7
4.5.1 Basic Commands (Continued)
Entering Commands. Very few commands require entry of the data fields.
After the initial command has been entered, the system usually prompts for
data it needs. If a command does not depend on a certain field, any data
entered in that field will be ignored.
When entering commands:
• Spaces may be added to separate the fields, after the first three letters have
been entered.
• Leading zeros may be omitted.
• Use DELETE or BACKSPACE to correct mistakes.
• End the command with <CR>.
Commonly Used Commands. Figure 4-6 lists the commands you are most
likely to use. The most complex command is SET. This command is structured
to enable you to enter parameters easily and accurately. The other commands,
which are much simpler, require little or no subsequent data input. Their action
is complete in a matter of seconds.
F To become familiar with these commands, try each command
(except SET) and observe the system's response.
F NOTE: Use SET and RES with caution! In an operational system,
SET may drop calls if certain parameters are changed. RES will drop
all calls currently being boosted. Otherwise, the system commands do
not interfere with call processing.
Escaping From Continuous Cycles. Some commands enter a mode in which
the program does something continuously. (These commands are indicated by
an asterisk (*) in Figure 4-6.) To get out of this mode and return to the
command entry level, hit <ESC> or type <CTRL> Z.
F NOTE: Entering <ESC> or <CTRL> Z from the command entry
level (>) will cause the characters entered on the line to be erased.
