5 – Remote Control
Command Field
The third field in the ISiCL command line is the command field. There are six ISiCL commands:
●
SET
●
CONFIG?
●
STATUS?
●
WHO
●
LOCK
●
UNLOCK
The first three commands can be addressed either to common modules or to channel modules.
When issued to a common module, these commands must include an appropriate sub-address –
TERM, DI-A, or DI-B. When issued to channel modules, they must include a sub-address of the
form Cn, where is a number from 1 to 36.
The last two commands refer to the remote port itself and therefore can be issued only to common
modules. If the command field is left blank, the default command is STATUS?. This feature is
convenient, providing a quick method for checking the status of a multiplexer, particularly a
terminal multiplexer. The colon terminating the field, however, must always be present.
As noted earlier, if the address field is left blank, any multiplexer responds and, if the sub-address
field is left blank, its default is TERM. Combining these with the default for the command field
means that a STATUS? command can be issued to a terminal multiplexer simply by typing three
colons and a semicolon:

Table 5-5 summarizes the five ISiCL commands.
Table 5-5. Command Field Entries
Command
SET
Used to set a particular parameter on the common module or channel module identified in the
sub-address field. Every SET command must include a valid parameter name and value in the
parameter field.
Example:
CONFIG?
Lists the configuration settings for the module named in the sub-address field. The parameter
field in a CONFIG? command should be left blank.
Example:
STATUS?
When addressed to a channel module, lists the state of all "S" (status) parameters associated
with that module.
Example:
When addressed to a CM-5RB module, lists the T1 interface and timing status information
associated with that module. Also provides notification if one or more channel modules are in an
alert or alarm state.
Example:
In all cases, the STATUS? command's parameter field should be left blank.
WHO
Provides the information for network (shelf) addresses, configuration (TERM, DI-A or DI-B), and
the local shelf modules. The response to the WHO command appears as
*OK
CM-5RB CONFIGURED AS A TERM
CHANNEL CARD <n1>, TYPE <id1>
CHANNEL CARD <n2>, TYPE <id2>
CHANNEL CARD <n3>, TYPE <id3>
Where n = card address and id = card type identifier
