Abort (abort)
(Disruptive)
Use the abort command to stop all tests currently running on a specified device(s). When sent to a
control device, the abort command can stop all tests in progress on the control device and/or all
tests in progress on its downstream devices. This command stops only tests that are currently in
progress. If a test is scheduled, the abort command will not stop the test unless the test is actually
running.
This command can be used for all COMSPHERE and DATAPHONE II devices.
For most commands, NMS enables you to specify the destination for the command’s results and
schedule its execution. If the last page of the input form cannot accommodate the Destination for
results and Schedule execution fields, an additional page is provided. For a complete description
of these fields, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction.
