All data passes through RMC and is filtered for the escape sequence. This
is the default.
Data partially bypasses RMC, but RMC taps into the data lines and listens
passively for the escape sequence.
Data bypasses RMC, but RMC switches automatically into snoop mode if
loss of carrier occurs.
Data bypasses RMC. RMC remote management features are disabled.
Changes the focus of the COM1 traffic to the local MMJ port if RMC is
currently in one of the bypass modes or is in through mode with an active
remote session.
