To establish a session with a specific HCD-E1, use the following procedure:
1. Press the key three times.
2. Type NODE, space, the desired HCD-E1 node number, another space,
and then type the desired command and press . For example,
with node number 234, type:
NODE234 'command'
•
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
, it displays the following prompt:
PASSWORD>
3. Type again the node number part and then the password. For example,
for node number 234, type:
NODE234'password'
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
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.
