Using the Access Port (AP)
Configuring the Console
the system displays an error message similar to the following:
Illegal command, type HE for help.
Interpreting the System Status Line
When in control mode, the AP displays the system status line across the softkey labels of
the system console. The system status line has this format:
CODE: xxxx REMOTE: < 1 > < 2 > < 3 > ACCESS FAULT: yy
Table A-1. describes the information presented in the status line.
The status line is updated with each change, such as when the system cycles through its
self-test.
Using Access Port Commands
The AP has several commands for manipulating its activities. Table A-2. lists these
commands and their functions.
Table A-1. Status Line Display
Field Meaning
xxxx Represents the four digit LED error code display.
1 May have one of three values: enabled, pending, or disabled.
These correspond to the status of the remote console
accessibility. The remote console can either be accessed
(enabled), disconnected (disabled), or waiting for a user session
to end (pending).
2 May be either active or inactive. Active indicates that a
remote console is currently being used. Inactive indicates that
a remote console is not currently being used.
3 May have one of two values: single or multiple. This
designates whether the AP allows a single attempt (single) or
multiple attempts (multiple) to access the remote console.
yy Displays the number of times someone tried to access the remote
console but failed to give the proper password.
