System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual

Enabling the SPU Hex Status Display 

The ES command displays the system status line, including the front panel
LED codes, on console terminals during console mode.  Console terminal
performance and software performance may be affected when a remote
console is connected to the system.

The operating system writes the LED display every 0.5 seconds.

For a 300-bit per second modem, 60 percent of the available throughput is
taken by the writing of the LED code.  For a 1200-bit per second modem,
15 percent of the line capacity is used.

To minimize the effect, the entire system status line is not displayed.
In console mode, the following display is shown:

          CODE:  xxxx

The status line is placed over the softkey labels.  To temporarily view
the soft keys display, enter a Return.

After successfully executing the command, the following message is
displayed:

          System status display during console mode is enabled.
