AM8a Instruction Manual (18-0037) RS232 Entries and Printouts
0037-S07.L_58 February 10, 2000
7-5
COMMAND DEFINITION
(EC-) Echo Off: When echo is off, the AM8a will not echo received characters. A terminal
will have to be set to half-duplex so the operator can monitor what is being entered.
This mode could be used for a high-speed dump of commands by a computer, but is
not recommended because error-checking cannot be implemented.
(AY+) Enable front panel display and keypad: This is the default status for the AM8a.
Any entry made at the keypad or via the RS232 port is displayed. When in operation
as a line monitor or emulator, events are displayed.
(AYK) Disable front panel keypad: This is a “safety” setting which prevents a local
operator at an AM8a from using the keypad to change entries made via the RS232
port; however, the display remains active.
(AY-) Disable front panel display and keypad: This command disables both the display
and the keypad. No further events or entries from the RS232 port will be displayed. If
this command is entered, the only way to control or monitor the AM8a is through the
RS232 port.
(AXYZxxx.x) Set new password xxx…x: The password is 30 characters maximum and can not
contain the characters “,”. “!”, or “?”.
