followed by a line feed character <CR><LF> to command the control to
process the ASCII command. Usually, most terminals and terminal programs
interpret the Enter key as a <CR>. For example, to send the ACCESS
command, type ACC <Enter>.
Tables in this section show the access level(s) where the command or
command option is active. Access levels in this device are Access Level 0,
Access Level 1, and Access Level 2.
Access Commands (ACCESS, 2ACCESS, and CAL)
The ACC, 2AC, and CAL commands (see Table 7.7) provide entry to the
multiple access levels. Different commands are available at the different
access levels, as shown in the SEL-787 Relay Command Summary at the end
of this manual. Commands ACC and 2AC are explained together because they
operate similarly. See Access Levels on page 7.15 for a discussion of placing
the relay in an access level.
