Operating instructions

• In Snoop mode, you can type an escape sequence to enter the RMC. RMC
mode provides a command-line interface for issuing commands to monitor
and control the system.
• In Soft Bypass mode, you cannot enter the RMC. But if an alert condition
or loss of carrier occurs, the RMC switches into Snoop mode. From Snoop
mode you can enter RMC.
• In Firm Bypass mode you cannot enter the RMC. To enter, reset the
com1_mode environment variable from the SRM console.
NOTE: You can always enter the RMC locally regardless of the current mode.
You can set com1_mode to one of the following values:
through
snoop
soft_bypass
firm_bypass
Example
All data passes through RMC and is filtered for the escape se-
quence. This is the default.
Data partially bypasses RMC, but RMC taps into the data lines
and listens passively for the escape sequence.
Data bypasses RMC, but RMC switches automatically into
Snoop mode if loss of carrier occurs.
Data bypasses RMC. RMC remote management features are
disabled.
