Disconnecting Switches
The characters and numbers in a Disconnect command tell the system which
input or output to disconnect on which level. Command characters and numbers
appear on the screen when the system accepts them. A command string has
successfully executed when the entered “
T
” command appears. If a character or
number is not accepted, a different character appears and all or part of the
command is not executed. For explanations of other possible responses,
see page 1-6.
In disconnect commands, enter multiple levels and outputs
or
inputs by including
a space between each set of numbers. Enter a range of outputs or inputs by
inserting a colon (
:
) between the lowest and highest numbers of the range.
If the level is not specified in the Disconnect command, the command is
executed on the default level, which is normally Level 0 (e.g.,
DO67T
disconnects Output 67 on Level 0).
Caution:
Disconnecting an input disconnects
all
the outputs receiving that
source signal.
The following instructions provide command string formats for disconnecting
swtiches by designating either inputs (sources)
or
outputs (destinations).
To disconnect a switch
, enter the Disconnect command below. Replace the
“
#
”s with the level and input
or
output number(s).
DL#O#T
or
DL#I#T
To cancel an incorrect or incomplete BCS command
, enter “
X
”.
