Transfer Of Control
TC
: System reset through INIT or TOC (Transfer of Control) signal
Under normal operation, shut down the OS before issuing this command.
This command causes the system to be reset through the INIT (or TOC) signal. Execution of this command
irrecoverably halts all system processing and I/O activity and restarts the computer system. It is different
from the RS command in that the processors are signaled to dump state on the way down.
Tell
TE
: TEll—sends a message to other terminals
Up to 80 characters can be typed in. The message is broadcast to the other mirrored clients. Users in a session
or CSP are not shown the message.
User Configuration
UC: User Configuration—controls user access
This command allows an administrator to add, modify, re-enable, or delete user logins. The administrator can
also enable or disable security warnings and change passwords.
Virtual Front Panel
VFP
: Display Virtual Front Panel
The VFP command presents a summary of the system by using direct console addressing. If the terminal is
not recognized by the MP, VFP mode will be rejected. Each individual user will get this summary in order to
avoid issues related to terminal type and screen display mode.
Who
WHO
: Displays a list of MP connected users
This command displays the login name and operating mode (Main Menu, command, and so on) of the
connected console client users, and the port on which they are connected. For the LAN and WEB console
clients the remote
IP
address is also displayed.
