4. Setting Up for Initial Operation
EAC-2100 Manual: (Draft, 02/01) Page 4-9
4.5.1 Basic Commands (Continued)
Ending a Session. A session can be ended in three ways:
• LOC Command: This command should be used if the session involves
only system monitoring or minor parameter changes. It ensures security,
but lets alarms and call statistics continue to accumulate.
• RES Command: This command should be used if extensive parameter
changes have been made during a session. This method:
o Ensures that all parameter changes take effect, since all hardware is
initialized after a reset.
o Ensures security because the password must be reentered to get back
to the command level.
o Initializes all alarm condition counters to 0.
• Inactivity Timeout: An inactivity timer is included in the program with a
default inactivity timeout setting of 5 minutes. If a keyboard entry is not
detected within the designated period, the system terminates any currently
running command (e.g., SET) and simulates the action of LOC. This
avoids leaving the EAC-2100 in an insecure state if the remote link is lost
before the session is properly ended.
F NOTE: If a remote terminal is linked by modem to the EAC-2100,
LOC, RES or timeout will terminate the link.
