Entering Commands:
After typing a command, press
Commands are not case sensitive, which means the system does not recognize upper and lower case
characters differently. Type the commands in either upper or lower case, as desired.
In most cases, the entire command does not have to be entered to be executed. All that needs to be entered
are enough characters to uniquely identify the command. As an example, instead of typing the command SET
TIME, typing SE TI is sufficient. Some commands can be entered with one character. As an example,
commands such as ALARMS, SCAN, LOG, and PRCONFIG can be executed by entering the respective single
character A, S, L, or P. The minimum characters required to enter each command are indicated in the
"Commands" section.
When the backspace or delete key (Control H) is pressed, the last character typed is erased. Successive uses
of this key will erase characters back to, but not beyond, the beginning of the line.
Two control characters allow use of all or parts of the previously entered command. When a command is
entered, a copy is stored internally in a buffer. Typing CTRL-R copies the previously entered command from
the buffer to the current command line. Typing CTRL-Z copies the next character of the previously entered
command from the buffer to the current command line.
Aborting and Pausing Commands:
Typing CTRL-C, CTRL-X, or ESCape terminates the execution of a command in process, and returns the user to
the command prompt. This allows the user to enter another command.
During system configuration, typing CTRL-V returns the user to the prior setting to be programmed.
Typing CTRL S pauses the response to a command. Typing any key restarts the response.
User Timeout:
A user timeout feature is provided which automatically logs off a user when a period of inactivity has occurred.
This feature is designed to prevent a remote user from leaving a terminal unattended, and thus tying up the
modem port accidentally.
NOTE!
The TL1 port has a session timeout feature which operates independently from the user timeout
feature.
A period of inactivity is defined as the amount of time that elapses while the system is waiting for a command,
carriage return, or line feed to be entered from the user. A timeout message is issued and the communication
link terminated when the elapsed time reaches a preset value. This value is termed the "User Timeout" value,
and is programmable through the SET TIMEOUT command.
The timeout feature is active only when the system has specifically requested input from the user, such as after
a command prompt. It is NOT active during the processing of a command.
NOTE!
Commands such as SCAN Annnn n will run indefinitely until the user aborts the command.
