reset
The reset command is the equivalent of pushing the Reset button from the operator
control panel. It causes a full re-initialization of the system firmware. When the
reset command is executed, the user’s terminal exits console monitor mode and
reconnects to the server’s COM1 port.
Example:
RCM>reset
Returning to COM port.
send alert
The send alert command forces an alert condition. This command can be used to
test the setup of the alert dial out function or to send an alert condition when a
system application program is connected to the RMC monitor program.
Example:
RCM> send alert
RCM>
set alert
The set alert command sets the alert string that is transmitted through the modem
when an alert condition is detected. This string should be set to some meaningful
value such as the system remote access phone number. An application on the remote
system could monitor incoming alert strings and take appropriate action. The
maximum string length is 47 characters. When the alert is sent, the dial string and
alert string are concatenated and sent to the modem.
Example:
RCM> set alert
alert> ,,,,,,,5085551212#;
RCM>
“,” is used to cause a 2-second delay, which may be helpful when sending data to
numeric paging services.
“#;” must be used to terminate the alert string.
