setesc
The setesc command resets the default escape sequence for invoking RMC.
The escape sequence can be any character string. A typical sequence consists
of 2 or more characters, to a maximum of 15 characters. The escape sequence
is stored in the module's on-board NVRAM.
NOTE: Be sure to record the new escape sequence. Although the factory
defaults can be restored if you forget the escape sequence, this requires
resetting the EN RMC switch on the RMC switch pack.
The following sample escape sequence consists of 5 iterations of the Ctrl key
and the letter "o".
RMC>setesc
^o^o^o^o^o
RMC>
If the escape sequence entered exceeds 15 characters, the command fails with
the message:
*** ERROR ***
When changing the default escape sequence, avoid using special characters
that are used by the system's terminal emulator or applications.
Control characters are not echoed when entering the escape sequence. Use the
status command to verify the complete escape sequence.
status
The status command displays the current state of the system sensors, as well
as the current escape sequence and alarm information. The following is an
example of the display.
