The Block user command is used to block an RPSD Key user from access to the 
RMATS channel. Both permanent and non-permanent users may be blocked. To 
determine whether a user is already blocked, use the List User Table command 
(see instructions on page 3-34). 
Sample Command and Response
Parameter Description
bBlock User command
A unique identifier assigned to each user by the system 
administrator using the Add User command. Use the List 
User Table command to check user IDs (see instructions on 
page 3-34).

CR—Change Restriction
Syntax and Parameters
To set restrictions:
cr  
To clear restrictions:
cr ,clear 
Parameter Description
crChange Restriction command
restr_idA single character from A–N (14 possible restriction codes) 
used as a code to identify the time periods and days during 
which usage of the RPSD system can be restricted. You can 
then assign the code to the users you wish to restrict for that 
period by using the User Restrictions command described 
on page 3-52.
start
(hh:mm)The beginning time of the restriction in 24-hour clock format.
You must use the colon (:) as a separator between the hours 
and minutes. You must also use a leading zero (0) to enter 
any time that is less than 10:00, for example, 08:00.
end(hh:mm)The ending time of the restriction in 24-hour clock format. 
You must use the colon (:) as a separator between the hours 
and minutes. You must also use a leading zero (0) to enter 
any time that is less than 10:00, for example, 08:00.
day_noThe day or days of the week on which the restrictions will be 
in effect. Enter the day(s) in ascending order, in any 
combination (for example, 367), as a number(s) from 1–7 as 
follows:
1 = Monday
2 = Tuesday
3 = Wednesday
4 = Thursday
5 = Friday
6 = Saturday
7 = Sunday

Description
Use the Change Restriction command to set up the list of specific time periods 
and days during which restrictions may be placed on one or more users. Time 
restrictions block access to the RMATS channel for a specified period of time on 
a specified day or days. For example, you can block access to the channel from 
10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
Use the Change Restriction command to set the parameters of the restriction and 
to associate a code letter (restr_id) to each period of time and day defined. Then 
apply the code to a specific user or users by using the User Restriction 
command (see instructions on page 3-52). To see which codes correspond to 
which restrictions, use the List Restrictions command (see instructions on page 
3-26).
NOTE:
To set overnight time restrictions, set two separate restrictions from time X 
until midnight (24:00) on one day and from time 00:00 to time Y on the next 
day. For example, if you want to restrict access from 8:00 p.m. on a 
Thursday until 8:00 a.m. on a Friday, restrict access from 20:00 on 
Thursday until 24:00 on Thursday and then restrict access from 00:00 on 
Friday until 08:00 on Friday. Also, when you use the User Restrictions 
command, assign both of these restrictions to users you want to restrict 
from overnight access. 
Sample Command and Response
In the sample above, the code used to identify the first restriction time period is 
“A.” The beginning time for restriction ID “A” is 20:00, which is 8:00 p.m.; the 
ending time is 24:00, which is 12:00 a.m., and the day on which the restriction 
takes effect is Thursday. The code used to identify the second restriction time 
period is “B.” The beginning time for restriction ID B is 00:00, which is 12:00 a.m. 
(midnight); the ending time is 08:00, which is 8:00 a.m. The codes “A” and “B” 
are used to assign time restrictions to one or more users during the specified 
time periods and days (see instructions on page 3-52).

C—Clock Set
Syntax and Parameters
c  
Description
Use the Clock Set command to set the current time for the RPSD Lock. Setting 
the correct time when the Lock is installed ensures the accuracy of the System 
Activity Log. Also, the clock is used by the Lock to activate and deactivate 
defined time restrictions.
Sample Command and Response
Parameter Description
cClock Set command
The current time in 24-hour clock format.
You must use the colon (:) as a separator between the hours 
and minutes. You must also use a leading zero (0) to enter

FH—Failure History
Syntax and Parameters
fh [-] [ALL] 
Description
Use the Failure History command to display a log of the last 20 failed access 
attempts. The details include the date, time, user ID, device number, and a 
failure reason code.
To protect the integrity of the Failure History, a Message Authentication Code is 
generated and shown with each Failure History entry. The Message 
Authentication Code is followed by a period (“.”) and the sequence number of 
the message, for example, “CC85.000,” where “CC85” is the Message 
Authentication Code and “000” is the message sequence number. 
If the [-] and [ALL] parameters are not used, the messages are displayed in 
ascending order by message sequence number, 20 to a page. “- More to Come 
-” appears at the bottom of the each page except the last page, and “- End of 
List -” appears at the bottom of the last page. Press   to move from page 
to page. When you reach the last page (indicated by “- End of List -”) page, 
press   to return to the menu of commands.
When you want to capture a long Failure History to a file on a computer, include 
the [ALL] parameter. Page breaks are removed and the entire Failure History is 
listed. To pause the report shown on the screen, press  . To resume the 
report on the screen, press   again.Parameter Description
fhFailure History command
[-]Include this parameter to list the Failure History in 
descending order by message sequence number. If this 
parameter is not used, the Failure History is listed in 
ascending order.
[ALL]Use this parameter to remove the page breaks and list the 
entire Failure History buffer. Press   to pause and 
resume the report on the screen. If this parameter is not 
used, the report is listed 20 messages to a page.

To capture a Failure History, use a communications software package (such as 
ProComm). After you save the Failure History as a file, you can open it in a word 
processing application and print it.
To show the Failure History in descending order by message sequence number, 
include the [-] parameter.

The fields of the Failure History screen are:
SeqThe Message Authentication Code and message sequence 
number generated for each Failure History entry. The code 
is generated to protect the integrity of the Failure History. 
The Message Authentication Code is followed by a period 
(“.”) and the sequence number of each status message. The 
messages are numbered in sequence from 000 to 999 and 
then restart at 000.
DateThe date of the access failure
TimeThe time of the access failure
User IDThe user ID of the RPSD Key used to access the channel
Device #The device number of the RPSD Key used to access the 
channel. The device number is a number assigned to the 
Key by the Key user at initialization.
ReasonThe call access failure code. The codes and their 
explanations are provided in Table 3-2 on page 3-43
. The 
List Statistics command can also be used to get a very brief 
description for each code (see instructions on page 3-34).

FC—Force Connect
Syntax and Parameters
fc 
Description
If a call comes in that you want to go through regardless of whether the caller has 
a Key, you can issue the Force Connect command while the Lock is in Verify 
mode and force the connection to be made. There is a window of about 20 
seconds in Verify mode during which the Force Connect command may be 
issued.
When you issue the Force Connect command, the Lock will request confirmation. 
To confirm the command, type y; to cancel the command, type n. If you issue the 
command when there is no call attempting to connect, an error message is 
displayed.
!Security Alert:
Use of the FC command provides a call with connection to the protected 
resource, bypassing the security normally provided by the Lock. Use this 
command only to connect an authorized caller directly to the host resource.

FD—Force Disconnect
Syntax and Parameters
fd 
Description
The Force Disconnect command disconnects a call in progress. You may use 
this command to clear the channel for a higher priority call.
When you issue the Force Disconnect command, the Lock will request 
confirmation. To confirm the command, type y; to cancel the command, type n. If 
you issue the command when no call is in progress, an error message is 
displayed.
