Setting Communications in Terminal Mode With
Inaudible Terminal Alarm Reporting
Figure J-1 depicts the Set report Options (SO) command sequence screen, resulting in communications
in terminal mode with inaudible terminal alarm reporting.
Selecting option C under Communication Configuration sets the communications mode. Then, selecting
option T specifies that communications will be controlled by a terminal versus MML. The next options to
appear are the Alarm Reporting Mode and choice of whether or not to activate an audible alarm.
The choices for alarm reporting mode include T) Terminal Alarm Reporting, E) Enable Modem Dial-
out, or O) Off. Option T permits alarms to be reported to the terminal, and disables dial-out reporting, as
indicated on the screen. An alarm condition will interrupt, and report to, the Common Control Unit (CCU)
control screens. If the multiplexer is operating in a channel card screen at the time of the event, the
alarm will only be reported when a CCU alarm reporting screen is accessed. If a Sound Bell is selected
(with a Y entry), the terminal will beep during an alarm condition. To prevent the terminal from beeping
in alarm, select N.
Once all selections are made, Current Mode displays again, reflecting the selection.
Feature Group 6.0/6.2 Screen Changes
The 6.0/6.2 Feature Group Set report Options (SO) screen signifies alarm reporting only in
Current Mode. In TERM mode, the alarm is reported to the terminal.
The 6.0/6.2 Feature Group COMM Mode selections were labeled
1) Terminal and 2) MML. Options, however, were the same as found in current Feature Group.
The 6.0/6.2 Feature Group Alarm Reporting Mode selections were limited to T) Terminal, and O)
Off, and did not allow alarm dial-out in terminal communications mode.
