There are seven operating modes for multi-drop units: System mode,

Local Unit Configuration mode, Remote Unit Configuration mode,

MUX mode, Local Diagnostics mode, Remote Diagnostics mode, and

Access Local Modem mode. There are four operating modes for

standard units: Local mode, MUX mode, Local Unit Configuration

mode, and Remote Unit Configuration mode.

NOTE: System mode applies to multi-drop units and Local mode

applies to standard units. However, both modes are similar.

System/Local mode allows a terminal to instruct the Telplex to go into

any of the other operating modes. You must access System/Local

mode in order to access any of the other modes except MUX mode

(see

Section 4.3.3

). System/Local mode is accessed from a terminal

port with Local Access enabled by issuing the Escape Code

Sequence which consists of a one second delay followed by +++ and

another one second delay. The terminal that has accessed System

mode will be referred to as the

active terminal

Multi-drop Units: System Mode

Once a terminal connected to a multi-drop unit has accessed System

mode, the Telplex will send back the System Menu similar to the

following for a TX104:
