ESPONSES
Enter a command on the KP-10 keypad, then send it to the terminal by pressing
[ENTER]. The command sent and the corresponding response returned from the terminal
are both visible on the display screen.
To type a command:
1 Press firmly on each character key in sequence.
2 Verify the characters on the display screen. The message format must be valid (see Chapters
3 and 4 for information on valid message formats for single and redundant systems,
respectively).
3 Press [ENTER] to send the completed command to the terminal.
On occasion, the response received from the accessed device is too large to fit on the
display. When this happens, the indicator LED above [FS] or [RFS] flashes. The entire
response can be viewed by scrolling through it. After scrolling through the message,
press [ENTER], [RESET], [OS], [MS], or [AS] to turn off the flashing LED.
To scroll through a response:
1 Press the function key under the flashing LED.
2 Read the displayed section of the response.
3 If the LED is still on, press the function key again to see more of the message.
