V72 COMMAND SUMMARY
Command Description
$BTn,p<cr> Request to connect to peripheral module "n" port "p". If module m
is operating in full duplex mode, full duplex communication is
established when connection is made. Otherwise, the connection is
for output only (from V72 to the selected module/port).
$BTn<cr> Request to connect to module "n". Upon connection, the V72 will
enter command mode for the selected module and the selected
module will respond to its command set. The selected module may
be configured by sending "$CONFIG<cr>" after the "$BTn<cr>".
$BTI<cr> Receive immediate mode data. This will cause the user to receive
messages or data from modules configured to operate in immediate
message mode or immediate data mode.
$BT<cr> Disconnect. Terminates the current operation mode or module/port
connection. Network session remains active.
$BTX<cr> Network disconnect. Terminates the workstation session. Releases
all session resources, such as modes or ports.
$BTRI<cr> Locates the user of the Immediate Receive Mode and terminates the
session if found, releasing the mode.
$BTRC<cr> Locates the user of the Command/Configuration mode and
terminates the session if found, releasing the mode.
$BTRn,p<cr
>
Locates the user of n,p (module,port) and terminates the session if
found, releasing the port.
$BTRS<cr> Reset. This command is used to reset the unit.
$BTN<cr> Entry of this command will prevent the V72 from sending advisory
or error messages to the user (see Section 4.6). This command may
be useful where an automated process does not wish to contend
with unit messages appearing in the data stream. By default, a
connection will allow these messages to be sent unless disabled by
this command.
$BTM<cr> Entry of this command will re-enable the V72 to send module
advisory and error messages to the user.
$BTS<cr> Access the V72 status diagnostics menu.
n = desired module number (1 to 16), p = desired port number (1 to 4)
