system into an edit mode in which you can make a change or cause an action to be performed. After the
|
| second 65+21 pair is entered, the control panel will respond with the SRC of A6nn500B to indicate you
are in edit mode. Each repeated 65+21 within edit mode will increment nn of the SRC until you reach the
|
value representing what action you intend to perform. At this time, you enter just a single 21, which will
|
| cause the selected function to be performed. The SRC should then become A6nn500C to indicate the
function was successfully submitted. If at any time you exceed 45 seconds between the 65 and 21 or
|
between succeeding 21s, SRC A6nn500D may be presented indicating a timeout condition and the system
|
| is no longer in edit mode. If you were intending to make a change, you will need to restart the
operations. This SRC will be reset in approximately 3 minutes. You can quit the edit mode by using
|
function 66. The function 66 does not have to complete successfully.

The following codes will allow you to track your progress:
A6nn 500x
Where nn means:
00 = No console defined
01 = Twinax console
02 = Direct attached Operations Console
03 = LAN Operations Console
C3 = Clear LAN configuration
A3 = Deactivate followed by an activate of the LAN Operations Console adapter
DD = Dump all console related flight recorder into a set of vlogs
Notes:
1. Selecting 02 will automatically activate the asynchronous communications adapter used for
Operations Console direct attached.
2. Selecting 03 may also require a function A3 to activate the LAN adapter in rare cases. Also, if
a LAN connected console is connected, the emulator may go to a Disconnected state. If so,
you can start it again by clicking Communication and selecting Connect.
Where x means:
A6nn 500A
| You are displaying the current console type setting.
A6nn 500B
You did a second 65+21 pair so you are in edit mode.
A6nn 500C
You executed a second 21 to cause an action, such as setting the console to another value.
A6nn 500D
You waited too long after entering edit mode to cause an action so you will have to enter edit
mode again if you intended to make a change. A 21 at this time will force the console to DST, not
cause an action.
If you do not want to make a change after entering edit mode you can wait 3 minutes and this
completion code should show up indicating a change is no longer pending or you do a function 66 to
cancel any pending changes and exit.
Note: You have 45 seconds between a 65 and the 21 to start display mode or edit mode changes. If the
time between these codes exceeds this limit the 21 will become a force DST console request.
An example of a console change would be:
