Entering the RMC

You type an escape sequence to invoke the RMC. You can enter RMC
from any of the following: a modem, the local serial console terminal,
the local VGA monitor, or the system. The "system" includes the oper-
ating system, SRM, or an application.
•
You can enter the RMC from the local terminal regardless of the current
operating mode.
•
You can enter the RMC from the modem if the RMC is in Through mode,
Snoop mode, or Local mode. In Snoop mode the escape sequence is passed
to the system and displayed.
NOTE: Only one RMC session can be active at a time.
Entering from a Serial Terminal
Invoke the RMC from a serial terminal by typing the following default escape
sequence:
^[^[ rmc
This sequence is equivalent to typing Ctrl/left bracket, Ctrl/left bracket, rmc.
On some keyboards, the Esc key functions like the Ctrl/left bracket combination.
To exit, enter the quit command. This action returns you to whatever you
were doing before you invoked the RMC. In the following example, the quit
command returns you to the system COM1 port.
RMC> quit
Returning to COM port
