Table 5-5. Command Field Entries (continued)
Command Description
UNLOCK Unlocks the remote port of the addressed CM-5RB module. This command must be accompanied
by a valid password in the parameter field. However, because every CM-5RB module is given a
null password at the factory, the parameter field of UNLOCK commands issued to a new CM-5RB
module must be left blank (null) until its password is set (Change Password subsection of
Section 5.2.3.2).
Examples (null password):
5555:TERM:UNLOCK:;
(password GREEN):
LOCK Locks the remote port of the addressed CM-5RB module. When the module’s remote port is
locked, it does not allow setup changes; that is, it does not accept SET commands. Note that if
the password is lost, a module’s remote port can still be unlocked locally. The parameter field of
a LOCK command should be left blank.
Example:
Table 5-6 shows the ISiCL commands for CM-5RB line/module redundancy.
Table 5-6. ISiCL Commands
Command ISiCL Command Description
MPRIM Manually generate a switch to the primary module.
MBACK Manually generate a switch to the backup module.
LPRIM Manually generate a switch to the primary line.
LBACK Manually generate a switch to the backup line.
Parameter Field
The fourth field in an ISiCL command line is the parameter field. As noted above, the parameter
field should be left blank for STATUS?, CONFIG?, and LOCK commands.
For UNLOCK commands, the parameter field must contain the correct password of the addressed
multiplexer. For example, to unlock the remote port on the DI-A module in an ACS-165
multiplexer with an address of 12 and a password of “GREEN,” issue the command:
12:DI-A:UNLOCK:GREEN;
For SET commands, the parameter field must include a valid parameter name, followed by an
equal sign (=), followed by a valid parameter value. For example, to activate the payload loopback
in a terminal multiplexer with an address of 17, issue the command
17:TERM:SET:PAYLD-LB=ON;
Section 5.4.5 – Change Common Module Setup Parameters lists the valid parameter names and
values for SET commands issued to CM-5RB modules. You can also issue SET commands to
remotely controllable channel modules. Each channel module type has its own valid parameter
names and values listed in the individual channel module manuals.
Comment Field
The ISiCL command line format also allows a free-form comment to be included after the
command, between the semicolon and the carriage return. For example
3:TERM:SET:PTIME=EXT; Sets MUX #3 primary timing to external
Anything typed in the comment field (that is, anything after the semicolon but before the carriage
return) is ignored by the multiplexer. Comments may be used when ISiCL commands are
embedded in batch files or data files accessed by an automated controller, to make the commands
more readable later. The comment field is always optional.
