4-22 Supervision Terminal Operating Instructions FCD-E1
While the supervision terminal is in session with the FCD-E1, the FCD-E1 local
operator can regain control by disconnecting the cable from the FCD-E1 CONTROL
DCE connector, or by sending the EXIT command.
The FCD-E1 will automatically return to front panel control if no commands are
received for a certain period of time (controlled by the LOG_OFF parameter). This
time-out can however be disabled.
Starting a Multiple FCD-E1Session
When one terminal is used to control several FCD-E1 connected via modems,
node addresses are assigned to each FCD-E1. The node addresses, in the range of
1 through 255 are assigned during the first session, by means of the command DEF
NODE. Use the following procedure to establish a session with a specific FCD-E1.
If you are using a multidrop configuration, do not assign address 0 to the FCD-E1
connected to this terminal.
1. Press the <Enter> key three times.
2. Type
NODE, space, the desired FCD-E1 node address and another space then
type the desired command and press <Enter>. For example, with node
address 234, type:
NODE<SP>234<SP> ‘command’ <Enter>
If the addressed FCD-E1 does not use password protection, it will immediately
execute the command.
If the addressed FCD-E1 is password protected, you will see the prompt:
PASSWORD>
3. Type again the node address and then the password.
For example, for node address 234, type:
NODE<SP>234<SP>password=<SP>‘password’<Enter>
If the password is correct, the FCD-E1 will execute the command. Otherwise,
you will see PASSWORD>.
Control Sessions
1. During the control session, type the desired commands at the terminal
keyboard. You must see the FCD-E1 echo character by character. If a bad
command appears, backspace to clear the error, then type again the correct
character.
 When you see the correct and complete command in the echo line, press
<Enter> to execute the command. The FCD-E1 will process the command
and display the appropriate response.
At the end of the command execution, the FCD-E1 displays the current
time and date, and then provides a new prompt for the next command
line.
 If you changed your mind, and want to abort the command, press BREAK.
You will again receive the prompt, so you can enter another command.
You can use BREAK to stop automatic repetition of commands sent with the /R
option.
