commands must be preceded by a unified exit command (UEL) and an @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=ACL
command. The ACL sequence is always followed by a UEL. Any number of commands can be placed
between the UELs. The only exception to these rules is the download command. If a firmware download
is done, the download command must be the last command in the sequence. It will not be followed by
a UEL.
The firmware searches for the UEL sequence when parsing commands. However, while downloading
binary data such as host-based code or NVRAM data the firmware suspends UEL parsing. To handle
hosts that “disappear” during binary sequences, the firmware times out all ACL command sessions. If
a timeout occurs during a non-download command sequence, it is treated as the receipt of a UEL. If a
timeout occurs during firmware download the product resets.
