KA52/53/54 Firmware Commands
This chapter describes the console mode control characters, the command
syntax, the command modifiers, and all of the console commands. You can
enter these commands when the system is in console mode. Console mode is
indicated when the console prompt (>>>) is displayed. If the system is running
the operating system software, refer to the VAX 4000 Model 100 Customer
Technical Information manual or the VAX 4000 Model 105A/106A Customer
Technical Information manual for information on returning the system to
console mode.
If the console security feature is enabled and a security password is set, you
must log in to privileged console mode before using most of these commands.
Refer to the VAX 4000 Model 100 Customer Technical Information manual,
Chapter 2, for information on the console security feature.
3.1 Console I/O Mode Control Characters
In console I/O mode, several characters have special meaning:
RETURN
Also <CR>. The carriage return ends a command line. No action is taken
on a command until after it is terminated by a carriage return. A null line
terminated by a carriage return is treated as a valid, null command. No
action is taken, and the console prompts for input. Carriage return is echoed
as carriage return, line feed (<CR><LF>).
