flag ($) occurs in the AB command string, the user must issue a GO command to perform the
switching operations. If an execute flag (#) occurs in the AB command string, the CM executes
the AB command string immediately when it is received.
The The format for the AB command is:
AB , <namslot> , <numslot> , <numskip>, <action> ,<flag>
Table 7-8 describes the syntax for the command string parameters and defines the operations
performed when the AB command executes.
Caution: When using Autofallback, the operator’s switching commands may be negated. That
is, modules in alarm state switch to the side specified by the jumper (A or B). This switching
operation is performed regardless of the operator’s commands.
