To establish a session with a specific HCD-E1, use the following procedure:
1. Press the <CR> key three times.
2. Type NODE, space, the desired HCD-E1 node number, another space,
and then type the desired command and press <CR>. For example,
with node number 234, type:
NODE<SP>234<SP> 'command' <CR>
•
If the addressed HCD-E1 does not use password protection, it
immediately executes the command.
•
If the addressed HCD-E1 is password-protected, it displays a row of
asterisks instead of the command you have typed. After you press
<CR>, it displays the following prompt:
PASSWORD>
3. Type again the node number part and then the password. For example,
for node number 234, type:
NODE<SP>234<SP>'password'<CR>
4. If the password is correct, HCD-E1 displays the working prompt:
HCD>. Otherwise, it displays the password prompt once more:
PASSWORD>
5. Enter your command following the HCD working prompt.
Control Session During the control session, you type the desired commands at the terminal
keyboard. You must see the HCD-E1 echo character by character.
For a multidrop configuration, always prefix your command with a node
number part, as described above.
If a wrong character appears, backspace to clear the error, and then type
again the correct character.
When you see the correct and complete command in the echo line, press
<CR> to execute the command. HCD-E1 processes the command and
displays the appropriate response.
At the end of the command execution, HCD-E1 displays the current date
and time, and then provides a new prompt for the next command line.
If you changed your mind, and want to abort the command, press CTRL+C.
You will again receive the prompt, so you can enter another command.
Note
Use CTRL+C to stop automatic repetition of commands sent with the /R
option.
