.Nd VAX-11 console interface
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The console is available to the processor through the console registers.
|
|
It acts like a normal terminal, except that when the local functions are
|
|
not disabled,
|
|
.Ic \&^P
|
|
(control-P) puts the console in local console mode (where
|
|
the prompt is
|
|
.Sq Li \*[Gt]\*[Gt]\*[Gt] ) .
|
|
The operation of the console in this mode varies
|
|
slightly per-processor.
|
|
.Ss VAX-11/780 or 785
|
|
On either the
|
|
.Tn VAX-11/780
|
|
or 785 the following commands may be used
|
|
after placing the console in local mode with
|
|
.Ic ^P .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width continue -compact -offset 4n
|

.Pp
|
|
.It Ic h
|
|
.It Ic halt
|
|
Halt the CPU.
|
|
On an 11/780 or 785
|
|
the processor is not stopped by entering local console mode.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Ic set t p
|
|
(set terminal program)
|
|
Re-enter conversational mode
|
|
if the processor is still
|
|
running.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Ic P
|
|
(proceed)
|
|
Get out of
|
|
.Tn ODT
|
|
mode.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Ic \*[Lt]break\*[Gt]
|
|
If you hit the break key on the console, then the console
|
|
.Tn LSI Ns -11
|
|
will go into
|
|
.Tn ODT
|
|
(console debugger mode).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss VAX-11/750 or 11/730
|
|
On an 11/750
|
|
or an 11/730
|
|
the processor is halted whenever the console is not in conversational mode.

|
|

|
|
a

will put you in remote diagnosis mode, where the prompt will be
|
|
.Ql RDM\*[Gt] .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss VAX-8600 or 8650
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn VAX-8600
|
|
(8650) console normally works in the same way as the 11/750,
|
|
except that there are many additional modes and commands.
