Local Mode
In local mode, commands typed at the data terminal or PC keyboard are read,
interpreted, and acted upon by the ADM to make and end data calls as well as to
modify data option values. There are two varieties of local mode: local-idle and
local-data. The ADM is in local-idle mode whenever no data call has been
initiated. The ADM goes into local-data mode when an established data call is
temporarily suspended by a user who wants to view or modify option values or
disconnect a call.
Data Mode
In the data mode, data from your data terminal or PC is exchanged with a host
computer or other data endpoint without interpretation by the ADM.
