System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90907)

Appendix A
Using the Access Port (AP)
Configuring the Console
178
The system identification is a displayable character ASCII string (24 characters maximum) that is stored on
the AP, for the AP’s exclusive use. The AP identification has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any
other system identification stored elsewhere in the SPU. No other entity has access to it, and the AP has no
access to any other system identification.
Enter up to 24 characters as the system identification. Characters 00 hex through 1F hex are control
characters and are not considered displayable. Entering a space at the system identification prompt deletes
the previous identification string.
The new configuration is written to nonvolatile memory (NVM) at the end of command processing. It is not
used until the next incoming call is answered and the configuration has been written to NVM. If CA is
executed by a remote user and the line is lost, the new configuration is still not in effect and the remote user
can redial and pick up the process where the disconnection occurred.
For NVM failure, the configuration uses default parameters. These values are 1200 bits per second, for the bit
rate; rate select (CCITT 111) high; and system identification set to the null string.
If, during the configuration of the remote support modem, the AP encounters any unexpected or
inappropriate input, it may respond with a combination of the following messages.
Expecting ”Y” or ”N” (APERR 11)
Expecting ”H” or ”L” (APERR 12)
String was truncated to 24 characters. (APMSG 04)

Enabling Remote Console Access
The command ER enables remote access to control and console modes through the remote support modem
port. The command is only valid from the system console. ER allows you to set the remote access password, the
number of password tries, and single or multiple access.
Using the ER command generates the following prompts:
