Depending upon the particular controller, operations may include the execution of controller resident diagnostics and utilities or those downloaded from the host system.

Further information regarding the operation of the utility and diagnostic capabilities associated with a particular controller may be obtained from the appropriate documentation set for that controller.

Once invoked, dupterm prompts the user with "DUP>> ", and waits for a command. dupterm recognizes the following commands -

CONNECT scs-node-name

RUNS task-name
