In the System Controller mode, the
Local
command issued to an interface device, causes Driver488 to
unassert the Remote Enable (
REN
) line. This causes devices on the bus to return to manual operation. A
Local
command addressed to an external device, places the device in the local mode via the Go To Local
(
GTL
) bus command.
