The new access status settings do not take effect until you finally answer the change query with NO.
If, during the process of updating the access status settings, 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 ”S” or ”M” (APERR 16)
String was truncated to 24 characters. (APMSG 04)
Your selection is outside of the legal range. (APERR 14)
Command may not be executed by a remote user. (APERR 13)
Upon NVM failure, the following default values are used: remote disabled, multiple access mode, maximum
fault limit = 3, no password required.
Sending Messages to Both Consoles
The AP treats all displayable characters following the TE command as a comment. They are displayed but not
executed. This allows you to enter a message of up to 80 characters at the master terminal that can be viewed
by both consoles. For example, entering:
CM>TE System backup begins in 5 minutes.
displays the message:
System backup begins in 5 minutes.
at the remote console.
Disabling Remote Console Access
Entering DR disables remote access by the remote support modem port to control and console modes.
If the command is successful, the system displays the message:
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.
