TermDSM Commands
TermDSM Commands
Troubleshooting tasks are accomplished through a set of commands.
Each command and its basic functionality is as follows:
• C[OMMENT] is used to type informational comments for reference
later. The security level of this command is 2.
• DI[AG] allows several diagnostic functions to be run on a port. It is
also used to initiate a DTC selftest. The security level of this
command is 1 for the DTC selftest, and 2 for the individual port
tests.
• DT[C] lists each DTC associated with the system along with its
descriptive name and the IEEE 802.3 station address. The security
level of this command is 2.
• DU[MP] allows the data area of a port to be copied to a disk file for
troubleshooting use by HP factory personnel. The security level of
this command is 2. The data area of an entire asynchronous
processor board of a DTC 72MX or an entire DTC can also be copied
to a disk file. The security level of this command is 1.
• EE[PROM] DT[C] allows the user to download the new ROM code on
the DTC 72MX and DTC 16iX/16MX. The security level of this
command is 1.
• EX[IT] allows the user to exit the TermDSM program and return to
the DUI prompt. The security level of this command is 2.
• H[ELP] displays information regarding TermDSM and its
commands. The security level of this command is 2.
• R[ESET] allows a port, a board, a single DTC, or multiple DTCs to
accept new sessions. The security level of resetting ports is 2, and
the security level of resetting DTCs is 1.
• S[TATUS] lists the node name of a specific device’s DTC, whether
the port has a session running on it, and whether the device is
connected to an interface card capable of modem connections. The
security level of this command is 2.
• T[RACE] enables and disables tracing for a port on an asynchronous
processor board of a DTC 72MX or a DTC/X.25 Network Access card.
Options allow trace to be activated for level 2, level 3, or a specific
VC of the DTC/X.25 card. The security level of this command is 2.
Further explanation for each command is contained in Chapter 4,
