Parameters 

 dtcnum 

Number of the DTC to which the device is connected.  This is the number
TermDSM associates with this DTC.

cardnum 

Number of the interface card within the DTC to which the device is
connected.  The cards are numbered from zero beginning at the bottom of
the DTC.

Range:           0 - 5.

Description 

When the subcommand is entered, all ports of the card are reset.  When
the reset completes, the following will be displayed:

     SIC       SIC type         SIC selftest status   Ports (Good or x:bad)
     ---  -------------------   -------------------   ---------------------
      n        type                status                 pppp pppp 

where:

 n 

Number of the interface card within the DTC.

 type 

The type of card in the slot.  These are the possible values and their
meanings:

     RS-232 Direct     RS-232-C direct connect card
     RS-232 Modem     modem card
     RS-422 Direct     RSno2cardrintthenslot card
     (not installed)

 status 

The results of the card selftest.  These are the possible values and
their meanings:

     OK     selftest passed
     MAIN CIRCUITRY BAD     card hardware failure
     ROM CRC BAD     ROfailureaonwall ports
     PORTP0RBADBAD  failure on port zero (other ports may also have failed)
     SOME PORTS BAD     failure on more than one port but not all (port zero okay)

 pppp pppp 

The number of ports on the card is shown by the number of characters in
this string.  Six characters represents a modem card.  Eight characters
represents a direct connect card.  A G  means the port is good; an x
means that the port is bad.

The reset prompt will then be displayed and you can enter another
RESETsubcommand.

This subcommand should also be used when resets of a particular port on
an SIC have been unsuccessful.  If the reset of the card is also
unsuccessful, consider using the DTC subcommand to reset the entire DTC.

Example 

     (reset)

     Ldev #
     POrt #,#,#
     SIc #,# (multiplexer card in DTC)
     DTc # (carriage return to exit) ?SI 3,2 

     SIC    SIC type         SIC selftest status Ports (Good or x:bad)
     --- ------------------- ------------------- ---------------------
     2 RS-232 Modem          OK                  GGGG GG

     (reset)

     Ldev #
     POrt #,#,#
     SIc #,# (multiplexer card in DTC)
     DTc #

     (carriage return to exit)  ?

The SIC subcommand above resets all ports on the third card of DTC number
three.  (Remember that cards are numbered starting with zero.)  The
selftest of the card (a modem card) passed.
