Appendix A: T1.317 Command Language

Initializing the QS840A Controller

The QS840A is a highly flexible controller with many features. This section outlines programming the
controller using the Hyper Terminal program that is shipped with most IBM compatible PC's. Connect
the cable between the computer RS-232 port, and the QS840A System Controller RS-232 port, J3. After
Hyper Terminal has started and the programming cable is connected to the controller and the PC, you
should see the login screen that allows access to the QS840A programming features.
RS-232 Terminal/Modem Port
This interface provides a T1.317 interface for local or dial-out access. The local port DTR signal switches
the port personality from modem to terminal. This interface provides access to all status,
configuration, and operations. It also provides call-out on alarm capability.
The controller communicates with the modem using the following settings:
Baud Rate:
Data Bits:
Stop Bits:
Parity:
Two levels of security protect incoming access: user and super-user. A user has read ability and can only
get status information from the CPS6000. A super-user can change configurations and perform control
operations. All access to CPS6000 is via the T1.317 command set, to be discussed later.
This section describes how to log into the system via an RS-232 local port. The first step to logging in is
to get to an "ENTER PASSWORD:" prompt. From a terminal connected to the RS-232 port, simply press
ENTER until you see the log-in prompt. The number of ENTER keys required will depend on the baud
rate you are trying to connect at. The controller will adjust its baud rate automatically until it recognizes
the carriage return character (ASCII 13) sent by pressing ENTER.
At the "ENTER PASSWORD:" prompt, type the user or super-user password. The default password for
each level of security is listed below.
Default user password - ABB
Default super-user password - super-user
Default administrator password - administrator
After receiving the correct password, the controller will respond with one of the following command
line prompts:
User command-line prompt: *
Super-user command-line prompt: **
When these prompts appear the controller is ready to accept commands. Note that the session will be
terminated if the port is idle for 15 minutes.
