SERIAL CONSOLE PORT MANAGER
9.2 Command Response
When commands are sent to the Serial Console Port Manager, the Port Manager
can respond with either verbose (English-text) or terse (numeric/abbreviated)
messages. The default message type for all ports can be set to either terse or
verbose using Setup Switch Sw6 (see
Section 4.1.3
).
After the Port Manager is installed and configured, the Port Configuration (/P)
command can specify an individual response message format for each port. In
addition to the Terse and Verbose response modes, the /P command can also
select the Quiet Mode. When the Quiet Mode is selected, the port will not send any
messages at all in response to commands.
The table below summarizes the various response messages for both the Terse and
Verbose modes.
