Section 5: SetUp and Configuration

7.Command Echo: Enables/disables command echo. When enabled, commands sent to the PLS will be echoed back to your PC, allowing keystrokes to be displayed. To enable or disable the command echo, type 7, press [Enter], and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default = Off.)

8.Inactivity Timeout: Determines how long the PLS will wait for additional commands. Type 8, press [Enter], and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default = 2 Min.)

9.Command Confirmation: When enabled, the PLS will display a "Sure?" prompt before completing the /A, /B, /D, /T, and /X commands. When confirmation is "On", the PLS will also display the status screen after commands are successfully completed. When disabled, the "Sure?" prompt is suppressed, and the status screen is not sent when commands are completed. To enable/disable this feature, type 9, press [Enter], and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default = "On".)

10.Automated Mode: When enabled, the PLS will execute the /A, /B, /D, /T, and /X commands without displaying the confirmation prompt, status screen or confirmation messages. When Automated Mode is enabled, the password prompt will also be suppressed, and the unit will always start up in System Mode. This allows the PLS to be controlled by a device which generates commands to control A/B switching without human interaction. To enable/disable this feature, type 10, press [Enter], and follow the instructions in the submenu. (Default = Off.)

A.Default Parameters: Resets the PLS to default values. In addition, all menu selected parameters, including circuit names and passwords will be lost. Note that if Command Confirmation is disabled, the "Sure" prompt will not be sent before this command is executed.

Note: If the Default Parameters function is invoked via the Network Port, the IP Address is not reset. If this function is invoked via the Console Port or Modem Port, the IP Address and other network parameters will be reset.

After defining General Parameters, press [Esc] to exit from the General Parameters menu.
