5.6. Copying Parameters to All Ports

The /CP command (Copy Port Parameters) provides a convenient means for selecting similar parameters for all APS-8/16M RS232 ports.

When the /CP command is invoked, the unit will display a menu which allows you to select port communication parameters, then copy them to all APS-8/16M RS232 ports. The Copy Port Parameters menu can be used to set all parameters for all RS-232 Ports, or define only a select group of parameters and then copy them to all ports.

Notes:

•The /CP command is only available in Supervisor Mode.

•The /CP command cannot be used to set Ports 1 and 2 to Passive Mode or Buffer Mode (Port Mode, Item 6.)

•The /CP command cannot be used to disable the Supervisor Mode at Ports 1 and 2 (Supervisor Mode, Item 7.)

•The /CP command cannot be used to change the Port Mode for the Internal Modem Port. The Internal Modem Port is always configured for Modem Mode.
