9.4. Command Set

This Section provides more detailed information on all APS commands, sorted alphabetically

by name.

[Enter]

Enter Command Mode

In order to set parameters or connect ports, you must first access the command mode as

described in Section 5.1. When the Command Mode is inactive (port asleep), the port will only

respond when the [Enter] key is pressed without any characters preceding it. If the Supervisor

Password (command /F) has been defined, the unit will require a password before allowing

access to Command Mode.
Availability: Supervisor / User
Format: [Enter] (Press [Enter] twice if other characters have already been typed).
Response: The Port Status Screen will be displayed, followed by the "APS>" command

prompt.

^X

Resident Disconnect Sequence

The Resident Disconnect Sequence is issued to disconnect your resident port from another port.

For example, if you are communicating via Port 3, and Port 3 is connected to Port 4, the

Resident Disconnect Sequence would be used to disconnect Port 3 from Port 4. Although the

default Resident Disconnect Sequence is ^X ([Ctrl] plus [X]), the command format and Logoff

Character can also be redefined via the Port Configuration Menus as described in Section 5.5.3.

Note that a three character disconnect command can also be selected.
Availability: Supervisor / User
Format: ^X
Response:

Verbose: The APS will send the “Disconnected” message, followed by the Port Status

Screen.

Terse: 3
