Using the Access Port (AP)
Configuring the Console
Remote console access disabled.
NOTE The remote enabled light on the front panel goes out once remote console
access is terminated.
Disconnecting the Remote Line
Entering the DI command initiates a clean disconnect from the telephone line connected to
the remote support modem port. This command is valid only from a remote console. If a
local operator attempts to use this command, the system issues a message:
Command may not be executed by a local user. (APERR 15)
The system displays the message, Remote line is disconnected, when the line is
disconnected.
Connecting the Remote Support Modem to a Session Port
This command is valid from the remote support modem port only.
Entering SE causes the remote support modem port to connect through to a session port. If
DTR is on, the remote support port’s modem remains connected. The remote support
modem is able to initiate a session using a normal connection protocol, as if a new modem
connection had just been established. To reenter control mode, the remote support port
modem must drop the connection and redial.
Using this command and the port operation, a user at the Response Center is able to use
control, console, and session mode without any intervention by the local operator. (The
operator must enable remote capability of the system.)
The following message is generated if the local console operator tries to execute the SE
command:
Command may not be executed by local user. (APERR 15)
Enabling the SPU Hex Status Display
The ES command displays the system status line, including the front panel LED codes, on
console terminals during console mode. Console terminal performance and software
performance may be affected when a remote console is connected to the system.
The operating system writes the LED display every 0.5 seconds.
For a 300-bit per second modem, 60 percent of the available throughput is taken by the
writing of the LED code. For a 1200-bit per second modem, 15 percent of the line capacity
is used.To minimize the effect, the entire system status line is not displayed. In console
mode, the following display is shown:
CODE: xxxx
The status line is placed over the softkey labels. To temporarily view the soft keys display,
enter a
Return.
After successfully executing the command, the following message is displayed:
