Part 4 Control and Status Commands
Choosing a Broadcast Destination
Before you broadcast a message, you need to select the port type where
you are sending the message. The
Broadcast
window
Broadcast Destination
buttons specify port types. You can select one of the following buttons:
•
All
sends your message to all asynchronous ports and to those
that have virtual connections to the Annexes you select.
•
Async
sends your message to all asynchronous ports on the
Annexes you select.
•
Virtual
sends your message to all virtual connections on selected
Annexes.
When you choose a destination, you can enter message text.
Writing a Message
The
Broadcast
window
Broadcast Message
box lets you enter the text of your
message. Your message can:
•
Use 1 to 128 characters.
•
Contain any number of lines. You can change the
Broadcast
window size to display a message that exceeds the standard
message box, or you can use
and
to display any part of
your message.
The
Broadcast
command uses the standard message followed by the date
and time information and by the text you entered. For example, a
broadcast message sent to warn users that you want to boot an Annex
might read ***
Broadcast from SNMP net manager
[Thu Aug 18 11:16:34 1994]*** Please log off Emma immediately for reboot.
