8.7.1

Defining the COM1 Data Flow

Use the set com1_mode command from SRM or SCM to define the
COM1 data flow paths.

You can set com1_mode to one of the following values:

through

All data passes through SCM and is filtered for the escape
sequence. This is the default.

snoop

Data partially bypasses SCM, but SCM taps into the data lines
and listens passively for the escape sequence.

soft_bypass

Data bypasses SCM, but SCM switches automatically into
snoop mode if loss of carrier occurs.

firm_bypass

Data bypasses SCM. SCM remote management features are
effectively disabled.

local

Changes the focus of the COM1 traffic to the local 9-pin port if
SCM is currently in one of the bypass modes or is in through
mode with an active remote session.

Example

SCM_E0> set com1_mode snoop
