COMMAND CODE: ED-COM
PURPOSE
EDIT COMMUNICATION
This command changes communication parameters. Communication port parameters which cannot be
changed are: character bits = 8, parity = none, and start bits = 1. When changing communication param-
eters, the associated hardware (modem, pad, or terminal) must be connected. After changing a parame-
ter with this command, wait at least 10 seconds before entering another command.
INPUT FORMAT
ED-COM:[<tid>]:<aid>:<ctag>::[<baud>],[<monmsg>],[<keepalive>]
,[<comtype>],[<endoftext>],[<echo>],[<compri>]
,[<hwcontrol>],[<swcontrol>][,[<dur>],[<dn>]];
Notes:
1.
Any parameter left blank causes no change to that parameter.
2.
Before changing the <comtype>, the cable on the communication port specified in the <aid> must be
disconnected. If the cable is not disconnected and an attempt is made to change only the <comtype>
parameter, an SROF error message will be returned. If the cable is not disconnected and an attempt
is made to change <comtype> plus other parameters, a completed response will be returned to show
that all parameters other than <comtype> were changed.

monmsg
ALW
allows this port to view communication messages associated with other communica-
tion ports in real-time
INH
inhibits this port from viewing communication messages associated with other commu-
nication ports in real-time
keepalive
ALW
allows a port to autonomously output a COMPLD message every 15 to 20 minutes
INH
inhibits a port from autonomously outputting a COMPLD message every 15 to 20
minutes
