Starting the pad Program in Command Mode

To start the pad program in command mode, enter:

localhost% /opt/SUNWconn/bin/pad

The system displays the PAD: prompt:

PAD:

This tells you that you are in command mode.

Optionally, if you run the pad command with the f option and a user configuration file as a parameter, this will be executed first before the PAD: prompt appears.

Switch to call mode by calling a host. Enter the command call followed by the name or address of the remote host at the PAD: prompt, then continue as described in steps 2 and 3, above, like this:

PAD: call hostname/address 
Break-in sequence is '^Pa'
