Command Mode
A system state in DEFINITY AUDIX system releases earlier than 4.0 where flashware is in c ontrol 
and  software is shut d own. In this state, a tec hnician has ac cess to menu options to see flashware 
status and initialization history, run throug h flashware d iag nostic s, and  to start or continue system 
initialization.
Configuration
